Disabling HTTP

If HTTPS is enabled, you can disable HTTP for better security.

If HTTP is disabled, the following limitations apply.

  • WSDPrint (Web Service Device Print) will not be available.

  • Since [Role Manager] of the Configuration Tool is not available, restrict access to this machine from the web page.

  • The web page of this machine cannot be opened with [Web Setting] of Network Extension and OKI LPR Utility. To open the web page of this machine, input "https://<this machine's IP address>" directly from the web browser.

  • For macOS, to add this machine by selecting [IP] in [Add Printer] with the protocal [IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)], specify "this machine's IP address + port number (443)" in [Address]. (Example: 192.168.1.1:443) Printing is not possible if only the IP address is specified. Also, if "this machine's IP address + port number (443)" is specified but the device information cannot be obtained when a printer is added, set the device information on the [Options] tab.

  • If you changed [Search Protocol] on the device search screen of Mobile Print (Android) to [WSD], you will not be able to search for devices. Search by setting it to [SNMP]. Also, if you changed [Change a Print Protocol] on the device search screen to [IPP], you will not be able to print. Set it to [RAW] before printing.

  1. Open the Web page of this machine.

    Open the Web Page of This Machine

  2. Log in as the administrator.

  3. Click [Admin Setup] at the top of the screen.

  4. Click [Network] - [Security] - [Protocol ON/OFF].

  5. Change the setting of [HTTP] from [Enable] to [Disable], and click [Submit].

Memo

  • If you are trying to disable HTTP when HTTPS is disabled, [HTTP and HTTPS /IPPS cannot be disabled at the same time] will be displayed. Please enable HTTPS and try again.

    If the server certificate is deleted, HTTPS will be automatically disabled. To avoid disabling HTTP and HTTPS at the same time, the certificate cannot be deleted while HTTP is disabled. If you are trying to delete the certificate, [The certificate cannot be deleted while HTTP is disabled.] will be displayed.
