Adding a Key to Printers

This section describes the method for adding a key to printers.
IMPORTANT
A key with the same intended usage as a key already registered to a printer cannot be added to the printer. For example, if the intended usage of the key that you are trying to add is TLS, and a key for TLS is already registered to the printer, the key cannot be added. Only one key of a particular type can be registered to the printer.
If you added a key without an intended usage set, it is necessary to set the intended usage in each target printer.
There is an upper limit to the number of keys that can be registered to a printer. If the number of keys already registered to the destination printer plus the number of keys that a task is attempting to add exceeds the upper limit, the keys will not be added and the execution result of the task will be an error. For information on the upper limit to the number of keys, see the instruction manuals of the printer.
Keys with SIP included as an intended use cannot be added to Type II printers. For details on printer types, see the following.
