Securing the Printer in a High-Security 
Environment

If you are concerned about the security of your printer in a high-security environment, such as a 
college or printing kiosk, you can configure settings in CentreWare IS to fully secure the printer. If you 
are not concerned about the security of your printer, you may only need to set up a certificate and 
then configure SSL to encrypt data including passwords.

To fully secure a printer:

1.

In CentreWare IS, set up a certificate. For details, see 

2.

Select when to use SSL, see 

Note:

The following steps may be completed in any order.

Select the Administrator and Key User Settings. For details, see 

on page 44.

Note:

To prevent users from changing settings, clear the Modify Configuration Web Pages check 

box. To prevent users from viewing settings, clear the View Configuration Web Pages check box.

Set up the Print Host Access List. For details, see 

on page 45.

11. Disable Job Accounting. For details, see 

Note:

To secure protocols, disable any protocols you are not using. This prevents unauthorized 

access through applications that use these protocols. For example, if you want to use IPP for a 
secure printing channel, disable the other printing protocols, Port 9100 and LPR. Disabling some 
protocols also disables some printer functions, such as printer discovery and PrintingScout.
