AirPrint uses the following protocols:
IPP (printing and sending faxes)
Network Link Scan (scanning)
The protocol to use varies with the function. Therefore, you can restrict the available functions by disabling the protocols. In addition, you can configure the settings to encrypt communication with TLS and configure IPP authentication when using a protocol.
Configure these settings using Remote UI from a computer. You cannot use the control panel to configure the settings.
Administrator privileges are required.
