Specifying the electronic signature
After installing a device certificate to the machine, configure the conditions for S/MIME signatures using a web browser from networked computers. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.) The configuration procedure is the same regardless of whether you are using a self-signed certificate or a certificate issued by a certificate authority.
Open a web browser from a networked computer, and then log in to Web Image Monitor as the network administrator.
