IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
IPP is an industry standard protocol for printing as well as managing print jobs and media sizes, and
supports authentication and encryption, making it a capable and secure printing solution. IPP is an
IP-based protocol and can be used locally or over the Internet.
Note:
To configure IPP for secure/encrypted printing, specify a user name, password, and digest
authentication (for Windows only). Every client that tries to print to the printer over IPP must enter
this information. The user name and password are sent in plain text to the printer. If you specify
digest authentication, the password is secured before it is sent to the printer.
To change IPP settings:
1.
Launch your Web browser.
2.
Type your printer’s IP address in the browser
Address
field. For details, see

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention. It consists of a set of
standards for network management including an application layer, a database schema, and a set of
data objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in the printer’s SNMPv3 engine. A manager is an
SNMPv3 management application such as OpenView, that is used to monitor and configure devices on
the network. The agent responds to read (GET) and write (SET) requests from the manager and can
also generate alert messages, or Traps, based on certain events.
SNMP settings can be configured in CentreWare IS. You can also enable or disable Authentication
Failure Generic Traps on the printer. SNMPv3 can be enabled to create an encrypted channel for secure
printer management.
If your printer is locked, you must log in as a system administrator. For details, see
CentreWare Internet
Services
on page 13.
For information on configuring SNMP, see
Configuring SNMP
on page 53.
