Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a request-response standard protocol between clients and servers. Clients that make HTTP requests are called User Agents (UAs). Servers that respond to these requests for resources, such as HTML pages, are called Origin Servers. There can be any number of intermediaries, such as tunnels, proxies, or gateways between User Agents and Origin Servers.

NOTE: If this is the first time the device is being setup, HTTP must be enabled through the Control Panel. HTTP is enabled by default.

Enable HTTP at the Control Panel:

  1. Login as System Administrator at the Control Panel. See the Related Content section for additional information.
  2. At the control panel touch screen, touch Device, then touch Tools.
  3. Touch Network Settings > Advanced Settings.
  4. Touch HTTP Settings.
  5. Touch Enabled, then touch OK.
  6. To apply the settings, touch Finish.

    Note: HTTP is enabled by default.

  7. Logout of System Administrator mode. See the Related Content section for additional information.

Enable HTTP from the Embedded Web Server:

  1. Access the Embedded Web Server and login as System Administrator. See the Related Content section for additional information.
  2. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Connectivity > Setup.
  3. In the Protocol area, for HTTP, click Edit.
  4. For Connection, select Enabled.

    Note: HTTP is enabled by default. If you disable HTTP, then the Embedded Web Server is no longer available.

  5. Type a connection port number as needed. The default is 80.
  6. To encrypt HTTP communication, for Force Traffic over Secure Connection (HTTPS), select Yes. When Force Traffic over Secure Connection (HTTPS) is enabled, all Web pages contain https:// in the URL.

    Note: By default, the device accepts jobs submitted over both HTTP and HTTPS. Force Traffic over Secure Connection (HTTPS) is disabled.

  7. Change the HTTPs Port Number as needed. The default is 443.
  8. For Keep Alive Timeout, type a time up to 60 seconds. The printer waits the specified amount of time before it terminates the connection.

    Note: Increasing the Keep Alive Timeout can cause slower connections.

  9. For Choose Device Certificate, select a certificate.

    Note: To install more device certificates, see the Related Content section for additional information.

  10. To view the selected certificate details, or save the certificate to your computer, click View/Save.

    Note: If you are using the Xerox Default Device Certificate, you can install the Device Root Certificate Authority in your Web browser. Installing the Device Root Certificate Authority ensures that your browser trusts the printer.

  11. To download the certificate authority, click Download the Device Root Certificate Authority.
  12. Click Save.
  13. Logout of System Administrator mode. See the Related Content section for additional information.
