Print Job Submission 
In addition to supporting network level encryption including IPSec and WPA Xerox products also support 
encryption of print job data at the time of submission.  This can be used to securely transmit print jobs 
over unencrypted connections or to enhance existing network level security controls.

based on HTTP and utilizes the TLS suite to encrypt data. 
Securely submit a print job directly to product via the built-in web server.
