Security Policies

Security policies include the management password. The management password is necessary for managing security policies using this software. Check the password of the printers for management in advance.

When using this software to distribute security policies, the password of all target printers must match. You can also change the password of multiple printers before distribution. For details, see the following.

This section describes the Device Setting Values Management of this software and printer specifications regarding security policies and security policy passwords.

For Type I printers, the security policy is a device setting value category. For Type II printers, the security policy settings are included in the [Settings/Registration Basic Information] category. Therefore, the device setting values of a printer that supports security policies may include security policy settings. When distributing device setting values that include the security policy settings to printers, the security policy password in the data to distribute must match the security policy password set in the destination printer for distribution.

Note the following when the security policy password included in the device setting values to distribute differs from the security policy password set in the destination printer for distribution.

Distribute device setting values that do not include the [Security Policies] category.

You can distribute settings other than the security policy included in the [Settings/Registration Basic Information] category. However, the execution result of the task will be [Error] because distribution of the security policy fails. If the distribution result for each category is as indicated below on the [Task Result Details] page displayed by selecting the corresponding task on the [Tasks] menu > [History] > [Task History] page, the setting values other than the security policy have been successfully distributed.
