Configuring the System Settings to Use RICOH Smart Device Connector (on the 4-Line LCD Panel)

Create or install the device certificate on the 4-line LCD panel MFP/printer as follows:

Creating and Installing the Device Certificate

1. Log in to the machine as the network administrator from Web Image Monitor.
   If SSL for the machine has been configured, enter “https:/”.

2. Click [Configuration] on the [Device Management] menu.

3. Click [Device Certificate] in the "Security" category.
   Select the number from the list to create a self-signed certificate.

4. Click [Create] to specify the necessary settings.
   Common Name: Enter the name of the device certificate to create. You must enter a name.
   Specify "Organization", "Organizational Unit", and other items as necessary.

5. Click [OK].
   A message appears while settings are being done. You may need to wait a short time before proceeding to the next step.

6. Click [OK].
   "Installed" is displayed in [Certificate Status].

7. After completing the installation, select the certificate for each application on "Certification".

8. Click [OK].
   A message appears while settings are being done. You may need to wait a short time before proceeding to the next step.

9. Click [OK].
   Log out of the machine, and then exit the Web browser.

Enabling SSL/TLS

1. Log in to the machine as the network administrator from Web Image Monitor.
   If SSL for the machine has been configured, enter “https:/”.

2. Click [Configuration] on the [Device Management] menu.

3. Click [SSL/TLS] in the "Security" category.

4. Select the protocol to enable encrypted communication on "SSL/TLS" to specify the details about the communication method.

   • Permit SSL/TLS Communication: Select one of the encryption communication modes below, and then specify whether to activate HSTS. To activate HSTS, specify the max-age attribute in the range of 0 to 31,536,000 seconds as well. While HSTS is activated, HTTPS communication is automatically used for connections from the Web browser to the machine. The max-age attribute is renewed every time Web Image Monitor and HSTS remains active for the same period.

     • Ciphertext Priority: Performs encrypted communication when a device certificate has been created. If encryption is not possible, the machine communicates data in clear text.

     • Ciphertext/Cleartext: Performs encrypted communication when connecting to the machine using an "https" address from a Web browser. Communicates in clear text when connecting to the machine using an "http" address.

     • Ciphertext Only: Allows encrypted communication only. If encryption is not possible for some reason, the machine cannot communicate. If this is the case, change the communication mode to [Ciphertext/Cleartext] in [Host Interface]  [Network]  [Permit SSL/TLS Comm.] temporarily, and then check the settings.

   • SSL/TLS Version: Specify TLS 1.3, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0, and SSL 3.0 to enable or disable. At least one of these protocols must be enabled.

   • Encryption Strength Setting: Specify the encryption algorithm to apply to AES, CHACHA20, 3DES, and RC4. You must select at least one check box.

   • KEY EXCHANGE: Specify whether to enable or disable exchanging of the RSA key.

   • DIGEST: Specify whether to enable or disable SHA1 DIGEST.

5. Click [OK].

6. Log out of the machine, and then exit the Web browser.

7. To encrypt communications with the SMTP server, use the following procedure to change [Use Secure Connection (SSL)] to [SMTP over SSL] or [STARTTLS].
