    Setting security using the Embedded Web Server (EWS)
    You can enhance the security of network communications and device configuration by using the advanced security options. 
    These features are available through the Web page of the device.
    Setting the system password
    Setting the system password protects configuration of the Embedded Web Server. A system password is also required for 
    Secure mode and confidential communication with MVP.
    To set the system password:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http: //ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Security.
    4Click Create Password, if one has not been set previously. If a password has already been set, click Change or 
    Remove Password.
    Using the secure Embedded Web Server
    The SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) allows for secure connections to the Web server within the print device. You can connect 
    to the Embedded Web Server more securely by connecting to the SSL port instead of the default HTTP port. The SSL port 
    connection will encrypt all Web server network communications between the PC and the printer. To connect to the SSL 
    port:
    Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the format: 
    https: //ip_address/.
    Supporting SNMPv3 (Simple Network Management Protocol version 3)
    SNMPv3 protocol allows for encrypted and authenticated network communications. It also lets the administrator select a 
    desired level of security. Prior to use, at least one user name and password must be established from the settings page. To 
    configure for SNMPv3 through the Embedded Web Server of the printer:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
    4Click SNMP.
    SNMPv3 authentication and encryption has three levels of support:

    134
    Administrative support
    No authentication and no encryption
    Authentication with no encryption
    Authentication and encryption
    Note:Only the selected level and later may be used to communicate.
    Supporting IPSec (Internet Protocol Security)
    IP Security protocol provides authentication and encryption of communications at the network layer allowing all application 
    and network communications over the IP protocol to be secure. IPSec can be set up between the printer and up to five 
    hosts, using both IPv4 and IPv6. To configure IPSec through the Embedded Web Server: 
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
    4Click IPSec.
    Two types of authentication are supported for IPSec:
    Shared Key Authentication—Any ASCII phrase shared among all the participating hosts. This is the easiest way 
    to configure when only a few hosts on the network use IPSec.
    Certificate Authentication—Allows any hosts or subnet of hosts to authenticate for IPSec. Each host must have 
    a public/private key pair. Validate Peer Certificate is enabled by default, requiring each host to have a signed 
    certificate and the authority certificate must be installed. Each host must have its identifier in the Subject Alternate 
    Name of the signed certificate.
    Note:After a device is configured for IPSec with a host, IPSec is required for any IP communication to take 
    place. 
    Using Secure mode
    You can configure the TCP and UDP ports to one of three modes:
    Disabled—Never allows network connections to this port.
    Secure and Unsecure—Allows the port to remain open, even in Secure mode.
    Unsecured Only—Allows the port to only open when the printer is not in Secure mode.
    Note:A password must be set to enable Secure mode. Once enabled, only the ports set to Secure and 
    Unsecure will be open.
    To configure the Secure mode for TCP and UDP ports from the Embedded Web Server:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
    4Click TCP/IP Port Access.
    Note:Disabling ports will disable function on the printer.

    Using 802.1x Authenticating
    802.1x port authentication allows the printer to join networks that require authentication before allowing access. 802.1x port 
    authentication can be used with the WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature of an optional internal wireless print server to 
    provide WPA-Enterprise security support.
    Support for 802.1x requires the establishment of credentials for the printer. The printer must be known to the Authentication 
    Server (AS). The AS will allow network access to devices presenting a valid set of credentials which typically involves a 
    name/password combination and possibly a certificate. The AS will allow network access to printers presenting a valid set 
    of credentials. You can manage the credentials by using the Embedded Web Server of the printer. To use certificates as 
    part of the credentials:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
    4Click Certificate Management.
    To enable and configure 802.1x on the Embedded Web Server after installing the required certificates:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Network/Ports.
    4Click 802.1x Authentication.
    Note:If an optional internal wireless print server is installed, click Wireless instead of 802.1x 
    Authentication.
    Locking the operator panel menus
    Operator Panel Menu Lockout lets you create a PIN number and choose specific menus to lock. Each time a locked menu 
    is selected, the user will be prompted to enter the correct PIN at the operator panel. The PIN does not affect any access 
    through the EWS. To lock operator panel menus:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Security.

    Printing Lockout
    Printing Lockout lets you lock or unlock a printer using an assigned PIN. When locked, every job the printer receives will 
    buffer to the hard disk. A user can print jobs only by entering the correct PIN on the operator panel. You can assign a PIN 
    through the Web page of the device.
    Note:This setting is only available when a hard disk is installed.
    Note:Back channel data will be processed while the printer is locked. Reports such as user or event logs 
    can be retrieved from a locked printer.
    To set Printing Lockout:
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Security.
    4Click Printer Lockout PIN.
    Confidential Print Setup
    Confidential Print Setup lets you designate a maximum number of PIN entry attempts and set an expiration time for print 
    jobs. When a user exceeds a specific number of PIN entry attempts, all of that user’s print jobs are deleted. When a user 
    has not printed their jobs within a designated time period, the print jobs are deleted. To activate Confidential Print Setup:
    Note:This feature is only available on network models.
    1Open your Web browser. In the address line, enter the IP address of the printer you want to configure using the 
    for mat: http://ip_address/.
    2Click Configuration.
    3Under Other Settings, click Security.
    4Click Confidential Print Setup.
    Quick start mode
    Quick start mode allows the printer to begin printing before the engine has warmed to normal operating temperature. With 
    quick start, when the printer is in standby mode and receives a print job, pages print slowly at first, and then more quickly 
    once the printer warms up. This reduces the overall time required to print a job from standby mode. Quick start is on by 
    default. 
    To turn quick start off:
    1Press   on the operator panel.
    2Press  until  Setup Menu appears, and then press  .
    3Press  until  Quick Start appears, and then press  .
