Creating and Installing a Xerox ® Device Certificate
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 Generic Xerox ® Trusted CA Certificate 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. Installing the Generic Xerox ® Trusted CA Certificate ensures that users can access the printer
using Xerox ® CentreWare ® Internet Services, and 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.

Installing the Generic Xerox ® Trusted CA Certificate
If the printer uses the Xerox ® Device Certificate, and a user attempts to access the printer using Xerox ®
CentreWare ® Internet Services, an error message can appear in their Web browser. To ensure that error
messages do not appear, install the Generic Xerox ® Trusted CA Certificate in the Web browsers of all
users.
