Creating a configuration from a printer

To manage the advanced security settings of a printer, you must create a configuration from a printer. MVE reads all the settings from that printer, and then creates a configuration that includes the settings.

The following components are not included:

• Printer firmware

• Applications

• Certificates

• Solutions 1-10 function access controls. For more information on the function access controls, see the Embedded Web Server—Security Administrator's Guide for the printer.

To add the firmware, applications, and certificates, edit the configuration in MVE.

The Solutions 1-10 function access controls cannot be added even after the configuration is created.

Before creating a configuration from a printer, make sure to set up the printer settings including the advanced security components.

1. From the Printers menu, click Printer Listing.

2. Select the printer, and then click Configure > Create configuration from printer.

3. Type a unique name for the configuration and its description, and then click Create Configuration.

4. From the Configurations menu, click All Configurations.

5. Select the configuration, and then click Edit.

6. By default, all settings are included in the configuration. If necessary, edit the settings.

7. From the Advanced Security tab, add the passwords and PINs.

8. Click Save Changes.
