About Encryption
Data can be encrypted for communication between the printer and computers over a network.
Encryption of client-to-printer HTTP communication (SSL/TLS server)
Enabling the SSL/TLS communication feature of the printer makes it possible to encrypt HTTP
communication between the printer and computers over a network.
Ports that use the printer's HTTP server are the SOAP port, Internet service (HTTP) port, and IPP
port.
SSL/TLS protocol is used for encryption of HTTP communication between a client and the printer.
To encrypt communication, you can use either a self-signed certificate or a certificate issued by
another CA.
Note
• To use a previously created certificate, use CentreWare Internet Services to import it. For more information,
refer to the online help for CentreWare Internet Services.
• Encrypting HTTP communication makes it possible to encrypt communication data (SSL encrypted
communication) when printing with the IPP port.
• An issued certificate is valid for 1 year.
