  • "WebDAV" – for the WebDAV protocol. Can be secured by SSL/TLS, see the webdavSsl system property, only KM and Xerox devices are supported
  • "SwA" - for SOAP with Attachments. Can be used as a secure alternative to FTP on Fuji Xerox devices. Please review the limitation of this methond and recommendation for additional setup in Requirements and known limitations of Dispatcher Paragon Embedded Terminal for FujiXerox
  • "HTTP" is also available as secure alternative for FTP on all Brother and Konica Minolta BSI devices. 
  • "WebDAV,FTP" – WebDAV will be used for all MFD vendors that support it. For other vendors, FTP will be used. Note that MFDs using WebDAV must be correctly configured in order to function.

NONE is the default value, which means no encryption is used.

When set to the SSL/TLS option, the direct SSL/TLS (port 465) is used for communication.

When set to the STARTTLS option, the STARTTLS command is sent after the communication channel is created (port 587) to upgrade to the secured channel.

NOTE: Mobile Print Server does not support the SSL/TLS encryption option. It always uses STARTTLS. This behavior can be overridden by the setting "handleSslTlsMailSmtpEncryptionOptionAsStartTls" in mps.config to false. Then no encryption will be used for the SSL/TLS option
