__________________

Open (no security)

This can be used, but is not recommended.

WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy, assuring wireless network security

equivalent to a wired network.
Set the same WEP key (64 or 128 bits) for all printers, computers

and access points on the wireless network.

WPA

WiFi Protected Access security, using TKIP encryption. This

security uses a pre-shared key set for all printers, computers and

access points in the wireless network. The key is periodically

changed.

EAP (Using Certificates)

Extensible Authentication Protocol security. In wireless

communications using EAP, connection to the wireless network is

requested through an access point, which in turn transmits the

certificate assigned to the computer and printer to an

authentication server such as RADIUS.

• EAP-TLS is used for authentication.
• Client and/or CA certificates must be imported into the

printer.

• Certificates must be obtained separately by the network

administrator before setting the printer for EAP.

Client Certificates

• This is the printer’s own certificate.
• The client must have a private key which corresponds to a

public key contained in the certificate.

• Required file format for imported certificates = [PKCS#12].
• Suitable file extensions include *.p12 and *.pfx.

CA Certificates

• The printer is not involved in the CA certificate chain.
