Generating Key Pairs
A key pair can be generated with the machine when it is required for encrypted communication via Transport Layer Security (TLS). You can use TLS when accessing the machine from an Apple device in order to use AirPrint. Up to three key pairs can be registered to the machine.

[Key Algorithm]
RSA is used for generating a key pair. Select the key length from the drop-down list. The larger the number for the key length, the slower the communication. However, the security is tighter.
