Security Settings
The following settings are related to security. Touch the [Security Settings] key to configure the settings.
SSL Settings
SSL can be used for data transmission over a network.
SSL is a protocol that enables the encryption of 
information communicated over a network. Encrypting 
data makes it possible to transmit and receive sensitive 
information safely.
SSL can be enabled for the following protocols:
Server Port
• HTTPS: Apply SSL encryption to HTTP 
communication.
• IPP-SSL: Apply SSL encryption to IPP 
communication.
• Redirect HTTP to HTTPS in Device Web Page 
Access:
When this setting is enabled, all communication that 
attempts to access the machine by HTTP is redirected 
to HTTPS.
Client Port
• HTTPS: Apply SSL encryption to HTTP 
communication.
• FTPS: Apply SSL encryption to FTP 
communication.
• SMTP-SSL: Apply SSL encryption to SMTP 
communication.
• POP3-SSL: Apply SSL encryption to POP3 
communication.
• LDAP-SSL: Apply SSL encryption to LDAP 
communication.
Level of Encryption
The encryption strength can be set to one of three levels.
IPsec Settings
IPsec can be used for data transmission/reception on a 
network. When IPsec is used, data can be sent and 
received safely without the need to configure settings for 
IP packet encryption in a Web browser or other 
higher-level application.
This setting is only used to enable or disable IPsec; 
detailed IPsec settings are configured in the Web pages.
Note the following points when enabling IPsec:
• A certain amount of time may be needed for the 
setting to be updated. During this time, it will not be 
possible to connect to the machine.
• If the settings in the Web page are not configured 
correctly, it will not be possible to connect to the 
machine, and printing, scanning, and Web page 
display may not be possible. In this event, disable the 
setting at the machine and then correct the settings in 
the Web page.
IEEE802.1X Setting
IEEE802.1X can be used to authenticate a user to allow 
use of the machine.
IEEE802.1X protocol defines port-based authentication 
for network. 
Use IEEE802.1X authentication to allow only 
authenticated devices to use network, and protect 
against network abuse by third parties.
This setting is only used to enable or disable 
IEEE802.1X; detailed IEEE802.1X settings are 
configured in the Web pages.
Some Web page settings may not allow connection to 
the machine, or the settings may not allow printing, 
scanning, or Web page display. In this case, deselect 
this setting and change the Web page settings.
