  1. Press (Settings/Registration) → [Management Settings] → [Device Management] → [Certificate Settings] → [Key and Certificate List] → [Key and Certificate List for This Device].

[Key and Certificate List for This Device] and [Key and Certificate List for Users] appear if User Signature is activated.

If (invalid) is displayed to the left of a key pair, the key pair is corrupted or invalid. Follow the procedure in "Setting a Key Pair and Device Certificate," to generate/update a key pair.

  1. Select 'Device Signature Key' → press [Certificate Details] → [Certificate].
