Managing your network printer securely

12

To manage your network printer securely, you need to use the management utilities with security protocols.

Secure Management using Web Based Management (web browser)

12

To use the HTTPS protocol, the following printer settings are required.

A certificate and private key must be installed in the printer. For how to install a certificate and private key, 
see 

Creating and installing a certificate

on page 132.

The HTTPS protocol must be enabled. To enable the HTTPS protocol, see 

Configuring the protocol 

settings

on page 126.

Note

We recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0

®

 (or higher) or Firefox

®

 1.0 (or higher) for Windows

®

 and 

Safari™ 1.0 for Macintosh

®

. Please also make sure that JavaScript and Cookie are always enabled in 

whichever browser you use. We recommend you upgrade to Safari™ 1.2 or higher to enable JavaScript. 
To use a web browser, you will need to know the IP address of the print server.

 

a

Start your web browser.

b

Type 

https://Common_Name/

 into your browser. (Where 

Common_Name

 is the Common Name that 

you assigned for the certificate, such as an IP address, host name or domain name. For how to assign 
a Common Name for the certificate, see 

Creating and installing a certificate

on page 132.)

For example:

https://192.168.1.2/

 (if the Common Name is the printer’s IP address)

https://BRNxxxxxx/

 (if the Common Name is the printer’s host name)

Note

If you have edited the hosts file on your computer or are using a Domain Name System, you can also enter 
the DNS name of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS, you can also enter 
the NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the printer settings page. The 
NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as 

BRNxxxxxx

” where “

xxxxxx

” is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

 

c

You can now access the printer using HTTPS.

Note

Disable the Telnet, FTP and TFTP protocols. Accessing the machine using these protocols is not secure. 
For how to configure the protocol settings, see 

Using Web Based Management (web browser) to change 

the print server settings

on page 15.
