Basic Concepts Basic Concepts This section includes: ■ About Admin and Key User Accounts on page 4-2 About HTTP, HTTPS, and SSL/TLS on page 4-3 ■ ■ About Certificates on page 4-3 ■ About Access Control Lists on page 4-4 About Admin and Key User Accounts Admin and Key User accounts in CentreWare IS enable you to limit access to specific printer functions by specifying passwords for user classes.
Basic Concepts About HTTP, HTTPS, and SSL/TLS HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is the protocol used to communicate across the internet between the printer web server and the web browser (clients). Because the data is transmitted in plain text and passwords are only slightly encrypted, it is not secure; the data can be read or intercepted by other people.
Basic Concepts If you want to use HTTPS, each printer must have a unique certificate that is accepted by each browser used to access the printer. This allows the printer web server to use HTTPS and encrypt data between the web browser and the printer. In addition, because each printer’s certificate is unique, you must load a different certificate into the browser for each printer the browser will access.
Securing the Printer in a High Security Environment Securing the Printer in a High Security Environment If you are concerned about the security of your printer in a high security environment, such as a college or printing kiosk, you can configure settings in CentreWare IS to “lockdown” or fully secure the printer.
Setting Up a Certificate Setting Up a Certificate To modify a self-signed certificate so it is specific to your printer or to install a downloaded root-signed certificate on the printer: Launch your web browser. Enter your printer’s IP address in the browser’s Address field (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). Click Properties.
Configuring SSL Configuring SSL Once a certificate is set up, you can select when to use SSL to secure the connection between the printer and the server. Note: You can restrict user access to SSL pages in CentreWare IS. For more information, see Configuring Administrator and Key User Settings on page 4-8.

Walk-Up Printing Driver The Xerox Walk-Up Printing Driver enables printing from a PC to any Xerox Postscript-enabled printer. For more information, see Walk-Up Printing Driver on page 2-3.
Configuration Card Parameters The printer has a configuration card that stores network parameters and configuration (N, DN, DX, etc.) data. The configuration card is hot swappable, enabling you to share or replace it, providing an alternative to on-site service. Network settings are saved on the configuration card. If the configuration card is removed from an old printer and inserted into a new printer, the saved settings on the configuration card are copied to the new printer when it is powered on.
