Configure 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 Embedded Web Server and displayed by your Web
browser. After a policy is configured, it is not activated until you click Apply in the Embedded Web
Server.
