If you want higher security, make the following setting before using the printer:
1. Press the [Menu] key.
2. Press the [

Firmware Update Cautions
If "IPsec" is enabled, all information on the network will be encrypted. This allows you to perform
firmware updates securely.
If "IPsec" is not enabled, the information on the network may not be encrypted depending on the
protocol. If you want to perform a firmware update when "IPsec" is not enabled, be sure to do so only
if your network environment is protected against electronic eavesdropping and similar security threats.
• For details on how to specify the IPv4 address, see "Ethernet Configuration", Hardware Guide.
