When you receive a certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA), follow the steps below to install it on the print server:

Only a certificate issued with your machine's Certificate Signing Request (CSR) can be installed on your machine. When you want to create another CSR, make sure that the certificate is installed before creating the new CSR. Create another CSR only after installing the certificate on the machine, otherwise the CSR created before installing the new CSR will be invalid.

  1. Start your web browser.
  2. Type "https://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is your machine's IP address).
    For example:

    https://192.168.1.2

    • If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.

      For example: https://SharedPrinter

    • If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.

      For example: https://brn123456abcdef

    • The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
  3. If required, type the password in the Login field, and then click Login.
