Printing documents securely using IPPS

12

To print documents securely over the internet, you can use the IPPS protocol.

Note

• Communication using IPPS cannot prevent unauthorized access to the printer server.

• IPPS is available for Windows

®

 2000/XP, Windows Vista™ and Windows Server

®

2003.

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

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

The basic steps for IPPS printing are the same as IPP printing. For detailed information, see
