If you do not have a server functioning as a certificate authority, install a Xerox ® Device Certificate
on the printer. When you create a Xerox ® Device Certificate, the printer generates a certificate, signs
it, and creates a public key used in SSL encryption. After you install a Xerox ® Device Certificate on the
printer, install the Device Root Certificate Authority in any device that communicates with the printer.
Examples of other devices include client Web browsers for HTTPS or a RADIUS authentication server
for 802.1X.
When the Device Root Certificate Authority is installed:
• Users can access the printer using the Embedded Web Server
• Certificate warning messages do not appear
Note: Creating a Xerox ® Device Certificate is less secure than creating a certificate signed by a
trusted certificate authority.
1. In the Embedded Web Server, log in as administration, then click System → Security .
2. In the Certificates area, click Security Certificates .
