that use router supplied prefix. It is not used in addresses supplied by DHCPv6. Nodes use LinkLocal addresses to communicate with other nodes on the same local network.
Select one of the following:
•Use interface ID derived from MAC address: Select this radio button to compute the ID
from the MAC address associated with the interface. Use interface ID derived from MAC address is the default setting. The ID is different for each device. This setting is
recommended.
•Use this interface ID: Select this radio button to enter the Interface ID manually in the
provided field. Interface ID must be 64 bits (8 bytes) in length, and must not contain special
characters other than colons or valid hexadecimal digits (0–9, a–f, or A–F).
Note: If you change the Interface ID, you are prompted to reset the printer before the changes
take effect.
3.Under Automatic Address Assignment, select Use router supplied prefixes to enable automatic
router address assignment. This check box is selected by default. If this check box is cleared, the
printer does not automatically assign itself addresses based on any advertised prefix.
Addresses can be assigned automatically when a router is found and it offers one or more prefixes.
Automatically assigned addresses are routable. Each router supplied prefix is combined with the
Interface ID to create an address. The router also provides the preferred and valid lifetime values.
4.Under DHCPv6, select one of the following methods:
•As directed by the router: DHCPv6 is performed according to flag values in a router
advertisement. As directed by the router is the default setting.

•Always, for all configuration options (stateful): Stateful DHCPv6 is always attempted, and
router flags related to how to perform DHCP are ignored. If DHCPv6 is successful,
configuration options and an IPv6 address are accepted.
•Always, for all configuration options except address (stateless): Stateless DHCPv6 is
always attempted, and router flags related to how to perform DHCP are ignored. If DHCPv6 is
successful, configuration options are accepted, but an IPv6 address is not assigned.
•Never: DHCPv6 is not used even if directed to do so by a router.
5.Under Manual Address Assignment, select Use this address, and type the IPv6 address and
prefix length in the fields provided. The default prefix length is 64.
A manually entered IPv6 address is used in addition to any other IPv6 addresses. If a manual IPv6
address is provided, it is preferred over DHCPv6, auto-assigned, and self-assigned addresses.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used in network management systems to monitor
network-attached devices for conditions that require administrative attention. It consists of a set of
standards for network management including an application layer, a database schema, and a set of
data objects. Agents, or software modules, reside in the printer SNMPv3 engine. A manager is an
SNMPv3 management application such as OpenView, that is used to monitor and configure devices on
the network. The agent responds to read (GET) and write (SET) requests from the manager and can
also generate alert messages, or Traps, based on certain events.

Admin and Key User Accounts
Admin and Key User accounts in CentreWare IS enable you to limit access to specific printer functions
by specifying passwords for user classes. CentreWare IS requires a name and password before access to
the controlled printer functions is allowed.
The user classes are:
•Administrator: The person with the ultimate management responsibility and authority for
controlling some or all of the printer functions.
•Key User: A person who has some administrative responsibilities and who manages some or all of
the printer functions.
•Any User: Includes most people who are sending print jobs to the printer.
Once the passwords are set, select the printer functions from the Feature Authorization list that each
user class has the right to access. The three categories of printer functions are:
•Administrative
•Web Server Printing
•Printer Neighborhood

HTTP, HTTPS, and SSL/TLS
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to communicate across the Internet between the printer
Web server and the Web browser on client computers. Because the data is transmitted in plain text and
passwords are only slightly encrypted, it is not secure.
Secure Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) is a secure version of HTTP. HTTPS provides
authentication and encrypted communication to preserve the confidentiality of your data. HTTPS does
not use plain text. Instead, HTTPS uses either the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol or the Transport
Layer Security (TLS) protocol to encrypt data. Using HTTPS ensures reasonable protection from
eavesdroppers and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Security Features
Before using HTTPS, install a certificate and select when to use SSL to encrypt data. You can set the
printer to use SSL either to secure Web pages that use passwords or to secure all Web pages.
See also:
Certificates on page 53
Managing Certificates on page 56
Configuring SSL on page 57
Certificates
A certificate is an electronic message containing information about the printer and a digital signature.
Before configuring passwords, set up a certificate and then configure SSL to encrypt data, including
passwords, for maximum security. You can set up a self-signed certificate or download a root-signed
certificate, depending on your requirements.
Device Certificates
A device certificate is stored in the printer. It is used to validate the identity of the printer to clients and
network servers and to allow encrypted communication. If you do not install a device certificate signed
by a Certificate Authority (CA), a default self-signed device certificate is automatically installed. A CA
signed device certificate is required to log in to the network when using 802.1X EAP authentication
with TLS.
Self-Signed Certificates
Setting up a self-signed certificate is a quick and easy way to establish a certificate on the printer. The
printer automatically generates a default self-signed certificate when the printer is turned on for the
first time. To modify the certificate so it is specific to your printer, use CentreWare IS to enter
information about the location of the printer.
While self-signed certificates are safe for most applications and allow data encryption, they do not ensure
valid authentication. Self-signed certificates are not necessarily secure because the certificate owner is
only confirming the owner identify instead of verification by a trusted third party. Although self-signed
certificates encrypt the data that is exchanged, they do not prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.
If you want to use HTTPS, each printer must have a unique certificate that each browser used to access
the printer accepts. The printer Web server is allowed to use HTTPS and encrypt data between the Web
browser and the printer. In addition, because each printer certificate is unique, you must load a
different certificate into the browser for each printer the browser accesses.

Security Features
Root-Signed Certificates
Root-signed certificates are from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA). Using a certificate signed by a CA
enables you to load one certificate into each browser, allowing access to all printers. Certificates from a
trusted third party are considered more secure than self-signed certificates. Unlike self-signed
certificates, root-signed certificates are not susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Access Control Lists
Access control lists enable you to limit access to devices, as well as device configuration and
management features. By default, access control lists are unrestricted, which means all computers and
host systems are allowed access.
The printer has four access control lists that can be configured using CentreWare IS:
•Print Host Access List: The computers from which users can print. For information on setting up
the Print Host Access List, see Configuring the Print Host Access List on page 59.
•Administrator Access List: The computers from which you can change printer settings. For
information on setting up the Administrator Access List, see Configuring Administrator and Key
User Settings on page 58.
•Key User Access List: The computers from which key users can change printer settings. For
information on setting up the Key User Access List, see Configuring Administrator and Key User
Settings on page 58.
•SNMP Access Control List: The host machines that are authorized to access the printer using
SNMP. For information on setting up the SNMP Access List, see Configuring the SNMP Access
Control List on page 81.

Enabling the Hard Drive Overwrite Security Option
When a file is deleted from the printer hard drive, only the file name is deleted. The data in the file
remains on the hard drive, regardless of the operating system. An unauthorized person could, possibly,
retrieve the data in the file that was deleted.
Printers with a hard drive have a Hard Drive Overwrite Security option. This option overwrites the data
stored on the hard drive of a file marked for deletion using DOD5200.28-M. DOD5200.28-M is a U.S.
Department of Defense three-pass overwriting process. The file’s directory entry is removed and the
storage space on the hard drive is marked as available for reuse. The random pattern of bits stays on
the hard drive until it is overwritten by another file.

IPsec Policies
IPsec Policies are sets of rules that determine which IP packets are given IPsec protection, and how
network traffic is protected. This page enables you to build IPsec Policies based on a combination of
the available Host Groups, Protocol Groups, and Actions.
The order in which the IPsec Policies are added is not important. The printer creates the low-level
policies from the most specific to the most general. IPsec uses the first applicable rule when deciding
the course of action. For example, if three policies are added in the following order:
1.ESP transport for the local subnet
2.Deny all
3.Bypass for a specific IP within the local subnet
The printer organizes the policies in the following order:
1.Bypass for a specific IP in local subnet
2.ESP transport for local subnet
3.Deny all
Note: Changing IPsec Policies might cause the printer to lose connection with the network. For
information on how to re-establish connectivity, see Disabling IPsec at the Control Panel on

Configuring 802.1X
Introduction to 802.1X and EAP
The 802.1X IEEE standard defines port-based, authenticated network access control for Ethernet local
area networks (LANs). In an 802.1X enabled network, the printer accesses the network by successfully
authenticating with credentials, such as a name and password. 802.1X uses the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) to relay port access requests between supplicants, authenticators, and
authentication servers.
EAP is the standard authentication mechanism carried over 802.1X. The EAP method is an inner
authentication protocol that provides the secure mechanism for the authentication exchange. Multiple
EAP methods can be used. EAP methods are defined in International Engineering Task Force (IETF)
Requests for Comments (RFC) documents, RFC drafts, or they can be proprietary. EAP methods have a
significant influence on how your network is designed and implemented, because not all supplicants,
not all access points, and not all RADIUS servers support all EAP methods. A careful evaluation of
standards can help with selecting appropriate LAN components that avoid vendor lock-in or dead-end
technology.
802.1X Configuration in CentreWare IS
Use the 802.1X configuration pages in CentreWare IS to perform the following tasks. Required
information varies depending on the EAP methods that you select.
Note: You can restrict access to the 802.1X configuration pages by using the passwords and
feature authorization settings on the Administrative Security Settings page. For details, see Admin

Learning Mode
Printers are shipped from the factory in a region free configuration with a starter set of region free ink
sticks.
Note: Region free ink sticks are not available for sale and are only available as a starter set.
When you purchase ink sticks, you receive ink sticks with a stock-keeping unit (SKU) specific to your
region. The first time you load regionalized ink, the printer detects the regional SKU by recognizing the
unique shape of the ink stick.
The printer configures itself to accept ink sticks only from that region in the future, and the printer is no
longer region free.
If you then install a SKU that does not match the printer region, you are instructed to remove the ink
stick.
The printer supports the ability to reset via a reset key, delivered either over the network or USB.
Contact Xerox Technical Support for assistance at www.xerox.com/support.
Note: Have your page count and serial number available when you call support.
Finding the Printer Serial Number
1.On the printer control panel, press Information > Printer Identification.
2.The serial number is displayed.

Secure, Personal, Personal Saved, Proof, Print
With, and Saved Print Jobs
These features are available if your printer has an internal hard drive. These jobs are stored on the hard
drive and remain in the printer even when it is turned off.
Select one of the following special job types:
•Personal Print: Prints the job when you select your user name on the control panel or in
CentreWare IS. The options from the printer control panel Walk-Up menu are to print & delete,
print, or exit. See the User Guide for more information about Walk-Up Features.
•Personal Saved Print: Stores the job on the hard drive. The job is password protected so you can
print it on demand from the control panel or in CentreWare IS. The options from the printer
control panel Walk-Up menu are to print & delete, print, or exit. See the User Guide for more
information about Walk-Up Features.
•Secure Print: Prints the job only after you enter the four-digit numeric password on the control
panel. The options from the printer control panel Walk-Up menu are to print & delete, print, or exit.
See the User Guide for more information about Walk-Up Features.
•Proof Print: Prints only one copy of the job so that you can proof the copy. If you want to print the
remaining copies, select the job name on the control panel. The options from the printer control
panel Walk-Up menu are to print & delete, print, or exit. See the User Guide for more information
about Walk-Up Features.
•Saved Job: Stores the job on the hard drive so you can print it on demand from the control panel.
The job is not deleted after printing. The options from the printer control panel Walk-Up menu are
to print & delete, print, or exit. See the User Guide for more information about Walk-Up Features.
•Print With: Prints the current job with existing Saved and Personal Saved jobs that are stored on
the printer hard drive. Specify the selection in the Print With Settings dialog box when you click
the Print With button in the print driver. The job is deleted after printing.

Smart Trays
The Smart Trays feature allows you to view the size and type of media in each tray of the printer before
sending the job. In Windows, when you access the printer properties, the current paper and tray
configuration and displays that information on the Paper/Output tab of the print driver.

Jam Recovery
Note: Jam recovery is not available on all printers. Check the documentation that came with your
printer for more information.
The jam recovery settings enable you to select how the printer handles jobs that are in the process of
printing when a media jam occurs. Jam recovery settings are especially important to consider when
printing checks. Normally when a media jam occurs, you can pull out the jammed media. The printer
reprints that page and then the rest of the job. While printing checks, someone could cause a media
jam as the media is exiting the printer so that a check is reprinted. Jam Recovery allows you to set the
printer to begin printing the job from the point where the media jammed. You can also cancel the job
completely.

Configuration Card
The printer configuration card stores network settings and configuration data. The configuration card
is hot swappable, enabling you to share or replace it, providing an alternative to onsite service.
If a configuration card is removed from an old printer and inserted into a new printer, the settings are
copied to the new printer when it is turned on. The new printer assumes the identity of the old printer,
eliminating the need to reconfigure network settings.
