Configure the printer’s firewall settings
Firewall features provide network-layer security on both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. The firewall
provides simple control of IP addresses that are allowed access.
NOTE: In addition to firewall protection at the network layer, the printer also supports open
secure sockets layer (SSL) standards at the transport layer for secure client-server
applications, such as client-server authentication or HTTPS web browsing.
For firewall operation on the printer, you must configure a firewall policy to apply to specified IP
traffic. Firewall policy pages are accessed through the EWS and displayed by your web browser.
After a policy is configured, it is not activated until you click Apply in the EWS.
