Securing the Printer in a High-Security
Environment
If you are concerned about the security of your printer in a high-security environment, such as a
college or printing kiosk, you can configure settings in CentreWare IS to fully secure the printer. If you
are not concerned about the security of your printer, you may only need to set up a certificate and
then configure SSL to encrypt data including passwords.
To fully secure a printer:
1.
In CentreWare IS, set up a certificate. For details, see

Note:
The following steps may be completed in any order.

Note:
To secure protocols, disable any protocols you are not using. This prevents unauthorized
access through applications that use these protocols. For example, if you want to use IPP for a
secure printing channel, disable the other printing protocols, Port 9100 and LPR. Disabling some
protocols also disables some printer functions, such as printer discovery and PrintingScout.
