About HTTPS and SSL

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a request-response standard protocol between clients and servers.
Clients that make HTTP requests are called User Agents (UAs). Servers that respond to these requests for
resources, such as HTML pages, are called Origin Servers. There can be any number of intermediaries,
such as tunnels, proxies, or gateways between User Agents and Origin Servers.
You can establish an HTTP Secure(HTTPS) connection to the printer by encrypting data sent over HTTP
using SSL. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol that creates an encrypted connection between your
printer and a server. Features that require HTTPS use it automatically. You can use SSL encryption for
protocols such as SMTP as well.
Note: When SSL is enabled, all Web pages contain https:// in the URL.
