guide on the Software and DocumentationCD
Note:Quiet Mode and Eco-Mode can be on at the same time.
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/.
Operating modePrinter performance

selected, the user will be prompted to enter the correct PIN at the control panel. The PIN does not affect any access 
through the EWS. To lock control 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.

VARNING! Om apparaten används på annat sätt än i denna 
bruksanvisning specificerats, kan avnändaren utsättas för osynlig 
laserstrålning, som överskrider gränsen för laserklass 1.
Laser notice
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of 
DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and 
elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the 
requirements of IEC 60825-1.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The 
printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 
5 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region 
of 770-795 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed 
so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a 
Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or 
prescribed service condition.
