HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a request-response standard protocol between clients and servers.
Clients that make HTTP requests are called User Agents (UAs). Servers that respond to these requests for
resources, such as HTML pages, are called Origin Servers. There can be any number of intermediaries,
such as tunnels, proxies, or gateways between User Agents and Origin Servers.
Enabling HTTP at the Control Panel
1. At the printer control panel, press the Machine Status button, then touch the Tools tab.
2. Touch Network Settings > Advanced Settings.
3. Touch HTTP Setting.
4. Touch Enable, then touch OK.
Configuring HTTP Settings in CentreWare Internet Services

2. Under Protocol, next to HTTP, click Edit.
3. Under Connection, select Enabled.
4. Type a connection port number as needed.
5. To encrypt HTTP communication using SSL, under Force Traffic over SSL, select Yes. When SSL is
enabled, all Web pages contain https:// in the URL.
