Security Settings and Prevention of Danger
When a printer is connected to a network, you can access it from a remote location. In addition, many people can
share the printer, which is helpful in improving operational efficiency and convenience. However, risks such as
illegal access, illegal use, and tampering with data are increased. If you use the printer in an environment where
you can access the Internet, the risks are even higher.
For printers that do not have external access protection, it is possible to read the contacts list that is stored in the
printer from the Internet.
In order to avoid this risk, Epson printers have a variety of security technologies.
Set the printer as necessary according to the environmental conditions that have been built with the customer's
environment information.

What to prevent
Because the encryption key is
not accessible from outside
the printer, encrypted
confidential information can
be protected.
Reducing security risks that
may occur through
unintended use by
preventing users from using
unnecessary functions.
Clearing an identification of
the printer by the CA-signed
certification prevents
impersonation and
unauthorized access. In
addition, communication
contents of SSL/TLS are
protected, and it prevents the
leakage of contents for
printing data and setup
information.
