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.
Creating and using firewall rules
Firewall rules allow you to control IP traffic. Use firewall rules to allow or drop IP traffic based on
IP addresses and services.
Enter up to ten rules, each rule specifying the host addresses, services, and the action to take for
those addresses and services.
