multifunction machine, contact your network administrator.
Using Firewall to Restrict Transmission (MF244dw / MF232w)
A firewall is a system that prevents unauthorized access from the external networks and protects against attacks/
intrusions to a local area network. You can use a firewall on your network environment to block access from the
external network that appears to be dangerous, by restricting communication from specified IP address of the
external network. The function installed to a Canon printer/multifunction machine enables you to set up the IP
address filter. For information on how to set up an IP address filter, see Specifying IP Addresses for Firewall
Rules(P. 234) .
Specifying the TLS Encrypted Communication (MF244dw / MF232w)
For information on the TLS Encrypted Communication, see Implementing Robust Security Features (MF244dw /
MF232w)(P. 248) , and on the procedures to specify, see Enabling TLS Encrypted Communication for the Remote
UI(P. 249) .
Setting PIN to Manage Information Stored in the Multifunction Machine
If a malicious third party attempts to gain unauthorized access to a printer/multifunction machine, setting PIN to
