| Connection Method | Connection between the printer and the Personal Printing server: with (HTTPS) or without (HTTP) encryption. For HTTPS, an root certificate must be installed on the printer (go to Security→ Network Security→ Digital Certificate). In addition, on the Personal Printing server, Internet Information Services is configured for encryption and a server certificate (signed by the root certificate) is installed. |
