CA certificate
If you use a CA certificate that identifies the CA (Certificate Authority) itself, you must import a CA
certificate from the CA, prior to the configuration. (See Import and export a CA certificate uu page 18.)
Note
• If you are going to use SSL/TLS communication, we recommend that you contact your system
administrator first.
• When you reset the print server back to its default factory settings, the certificate and the private key that
are installed will be deleted. If you want to keep the same certificate and the private key after resetting the
print server, export them before resetting and re-install them. (See How to import the self-signed
certificate, the certificate issued by a CA, and the private key uu page 17.)
