Security Feature Settings
When setting IPsec/IP filtering or IEEE802.1X, it is recommended that you access Web Config using SSL/TLS to
communicate settings information in order to reduce security risks such as tampering or interception.
Make sure you configure the administrator password before setting IPsec/IP filtering or IEEE802.1X.
Also, you can use Web Config by connecting the printer directly to the computer using an Ethernet cable, and then
entering the IP address into a web browser. The printer can be connected in a secure environment after the security
settings have been completed.

Making Settings for Password Encryption

Password encryption allows you to encrypt confidential information (all passwords, certificate private keys, hard
disk authentication keys) stored in the printer. The encryption key for decrypting encrypted confidential
information is stored in the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip. Since the TPM chip is not accessible from
outside the printer, you can protect encrypted confidential information without sharing the encryption key.

Advanced Security Settings
Feature type
You can set to allow severing
and cutting off of data that is
from a certain client or is a
particular type. Since IPsec
protects the data by IP packet
unit (encryption and
authentication), you can
safely communicate
unsecured protocol.
Only allows authenticated
users to connect to the
network. Allows only a
permitted user to use the
printer.
Encrypts emails sent from the
printer or attaches digital
signatures to the emails. This
feature is available for Scan to
Email, Box to Email, and Fax
to Email.

What to set
Create a basic policy and
individual policy to set the
client or type of data that can
access the printer.
Authentication setting to the
RADIUS server
(authentication sever).
Import a CA-signed
certificate, update a self-
signed certificate, and
configure a digital certificate
for the mail destination. Also,
make the S/MIME basic
settings.

What to prevent
Protect unauthorized access,
and tampering and
interception of
communication data to the
printer.
Protect unauthorized access
and use to the printer.
Encryption prevents
information from leaking
when third parties attempt to
view the content of the email.
Also, detect sender
impersonation and email
tampering by attaching a
digital signature to the email.
