existing certificates or Add/Create a new certificate.
To create a new certificate or CSR:
1. Click the Add/Create Certificate button.
2. Select from one of the following:
■ Install a new Root Certificate: Installs a new root certificate that is needed to
validate the authentication server’s certificate when using 802.1X EAP authentication.
■ Install a CA signed Device Certificate: Installs a device certificate signed by a
certificate authority (CA) that validates the identity of the printer to the network.
■ Create Certificate Signing Request (CSR): Once a CSR is created, you can send it
to a trusted CA for signing, and when returned, install the CA signed device certificate
on the printer.
■ Create Self-Signed Device Certificate: Modifies the default self-signed device
certificate that is automatically established on the printer by adding the details of your
organization and location, etc.
