Security - SSL/TLS Server Communication

This page allows you to set security on data sent and received by the printer when the printer uses HTTPS communication.
The data that are subject to security protection are IPP print jobs and information exchanged between the printer and web browsers.
These data will be encrypted using SSL/TLS communication.

This item does not appear if your printer does not support SSL/TLS server communication.
The following settings will become valid after rebooting the printer from CentreWare Internet Services or manually switching it off and then on again.

To access CentreWare Internet Services when data encryption is enabled, enter "https" before its address instead of "http".
Example of IP Address:
https://192.168.1.100/
Example of Internet Address:
https://xxx.yyy.zz.vvv/

SSL/TLS Server Communication
Select the [Enabled] check box if enabling SSL/TLS server communication.
If you do not have a certificate, the check box says "Disabled" and cannot be selected. In such case, click [Generate Self-Signed Certificate] and create a certificate.

SSL/TLS Server Communication Port Number
Enter the port number that will accept requests from your web browser. The port number must be 443 or any number between 8000 and 9999. The default is 443.
If you changed the port number, enter a colon (:) and then the port number after the printer address when accessing CentreWare Internet Services.
http://Printer_Address:Port_Number/
Do not use the same number as the HTTP port number.
