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 via the Remote UI. Up to five key pairs can be registered to the machine.

Deleting a registered key pair
Click [Delete] on the right of the key pair you want to delete click [OK].
click [OK].A key pair cannot be deleted if it is currently used for some purpose, such as when "TLS" or "IEEE 802.1X", is displayed under [Key Usage]. In this case, disable the function or replace the key pair before deleting it.
Creating and renewing a new key pair
When the optional Send PDF Security Feature Set is enabled, you can attach the device signature key. To create the device signature key, click [Generate Device Signature Key...] click [OK].
click [OK].If the key pair is invalid, click [Update] to create a new key pair of the device.

Specify settings for the key and certificate.
[Key Settings][Key Name]
Enter up to 24 alphanumeric characters for naming the key pair. Set a name that will be easy for you to find later in a list.

[Signature Algorithm:]
Select the signature algorithm from the drop-down list.
Select the signature algorithm from the drop-down list.
[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.

Click [OK].
A key pair may take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to generate.
After a key pair is generated, it is automatically registered to the machine.
