Epson WorkForce Pro WF-R8590 DTWF - Manual (Page 7)

Introduction
This manual is the common manual for Epson ink jet printers and multifunctional printers and this manual is for
an system administrator who manages an office network. A system administrator means a person who is in charge
of devices' configuration and authorization to access to a network for clients, printers, and computers. Detailed
procedures may be left out depending on the topic and the glossary is not in this manual because this manual is for
an administrator. Therefore knowledge about system of networks and computers is required to read.
There are two pieces of software to configure the printer’s advanced network settings, Web Config and EpsonNet
Config. In this manual, instructions for configuring each feature are basically from Web Config. For information
on operations of EpsonNet Config, see the documentation or help of EpsonNet Config. Descriptions of the OS
menu items are based on Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.8.x.
Note:
To configure the system administration features, the printer must be connected to a network. For more information on
connecting the printer to a network, see the printer's documentation or the appendix in this manual.
The sections below are the system administration features that Epson products support. The available features vary
by model. For information on the availability of features, see the printer's documentation. Choose the features to
be used that match your network environment.
SSL/TLS Communication
You can set a server certificate for the printer and encrypt communications between the printer and a computer by
an SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) communication. Use this feature to avoid spoofing
and unauthorized access to the printer.
