Security - IP Filter

This page allows you to specify the IP filter setting.

Enter the IP addresses and address masks that you want the printer to control connections from and select [Reject], [Permit], or [Disabled] from [Operation Mode]. The IP addresses and address masks must be series of four numbers between 0 and 255.
This setting is applied for rejection of only LPD and Port9100 job.
This setting is valid for IPv4 address.

Setting Order of IP Addresses/Address Masks
You can set a maximum of five IP addresses/address masks, and the first pair will be given a priority. If setting multiple IP addresses/address masks, enter the pair that covers the smallest area first.
