Configure IPP

Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) is a standard network protocol that allows you to print and manage jobs remotely. When IPP is configured, IPP authentication gives users the option to authenticate their identities using IPP through HTTP authentication methods. An IPP client can pass user credentials to the printer to use for authentication.

Configure IPP

1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup.

2. In the Protocol area, for IPP, click Edit.

3. For IPP Enablement, select On.
   
   Note:

4. • IPP enablement requires a Web server reset.

   • Enabling IPP authentication impacts AirPrint job submissions because AirPrint uses IPP.
     
     

5. To enable IPP authentication, for Authentication, select HTTP Basic with Secure IPP (IPPS). This option authenticates to user accounts that are configured in the device user database or in the network database.
   
   Note: HTTP Basic is unencrypted, unless authentication credentials are sent using HTTPS.
   
   

6. If HTTP Basic with Secure IPP (IPPS) authentication is enabled, for Validation Location, select an option.

7. • Validation on the Device: This option enables IPP authentication of user accounts that are configured in the device user database. 

   • Validation on the Network: This option enables IPP authentication of user accounts that are configured on the network authentication server for the device.

8. To configure Secure IPP Mode, select an option:

9. • IPP and Secure IPP (IPPS): This option allows the device to accept insecure IPP jobs and secure IPPS jobs. This option is the default setting.

   • Secure IPP (IPPS) only: This option allows the device to accept secure IPPS jobs only. If you select this option, IPPS is shown to users as an available option for jobs submitted using AirPrint. IPP is not shown as an available option.

10. You can edit configuration settings for HTTP, and the Device User Database or Authentication Server.

11. • To edit HTTP settings, in the Configuration Settings area, for HTTP, click Edit.

    • To edit Device User Database settings, in the Configuration Settings area, for Device User Database, click Edit.
      
      Note: The Device User Database option is available only when HTTP Basic with Secure IPP (IPPS) is selected, and, for Validation Location, Validate on the Device is selected.
      
      

    • To edit Authentication Server settings, in the Configuration Settings area, for Authentication Server, click Edit.
      
      Note: The Authentication Server option is available only when HTTP Basic with Secure IPP (IPPS) is selected, and, for Validation Location, Validate on the Network is selected.
      
      

12. To configure the IPP identify printer functionality, for Identify Printer, select an option.

13. • On: This option enables an IPP client to request the printer to identify itself through a graphic or sound.

    • Off: This option revokes the ability of an IPP client to request the printer to identify itself through a graphic or sound.
      
      Note: When the IPP client requests sound, the Identify Printer feature uses the Fault tone. You can configure the Fault tone on the printer control panel. 
      
      

14. If Fax is supported and configured, you can configure Remote IPP FaxOut Log Display. To configure the Remote IPP FaxOut Log Display, select an option.

15. • On: This option allows a remote user to view the IPP FaxOut Log.

    • Off: This option does not permit remote users to view the IPP FaxOut Log.

16. Click Save.
