Installing a Digital Certificate
There are three ways to install a certificate on the printer:
• Create a Self-Signed Certificate. The printer creates its own certificate, signs it, and
creates a public key to be used for encryption.
• Create a request to have a certificate authority, or a server functioning as a certificate
authority sign a certificate and then upload the certificate to the printer. An example
of a server functioning as a CA is Windows Server running Certificate Services.
• Install a certificate created by a trusted intermediate or root CA.
Note
Installing a self-signed certificate is less secure than installing a certificate signed by a
trusted CA. However, if you do not have a server functioning as a certificate authority
this is your only option.
