ENGLISH Introduction The MX-FR12U adds a security function to the SHARP Digital Full Color Multifunctional System. When the copy function, printer function, network scanner function, or fax function of a SHARP Digital Full Color Multifunctional System with the security function is used, the image data that is generated for the job is encrypted, and when the job is finished, the encrypted data is immediately erased from memory and the hard disk. ■ Note: To ensure that the data security function of the machine provides maximum security, observe the following: ● The administrator plays an important role in maintaining security. Exercise appropriate care in selecting the person that will assume the job of administrator. ● Be sure to change the administrator password immediately each time a new person takes over as administrator. ● Change the administrator password on a regular basis (at least once every 60 days). ● Do not select a password that can be easily guessed for the administrator password. ● The system settings (administrator) are very important for security management. If you leave the machine when using the system settings (administrator), be sure to press the [Logout] key ( ) to quit the system settings (administrator). The administrator of the machine should inform users that they are not to access the system settings (administrator) without permission. ● The customer bears responsibility for control of copies of documents made on the machine and faxes received on the machine. ● Even when the data security kit is installed, note that fax data in the polling memory box used by the fax function can be read. ■ Backing up and clearing data stored with the print hold function When the data security kit is installed, data previously stored in the machine with the print hold function is cleared. For this reason, any data that you need to keep is copied to a computer before the data security kit is installed, and then returned to the machine after installation and clearing of the previous data. (This work is normally performed at the time of installation of the data security kit.) Only confidential files can be used to return data from a computer to the machine after installation of the data security kit. For the procedure for storing data on a computer and returning data from a computer to the machine, see help in the Web pages of the machine.

ENGLISH ■ About passwords for the Web page If an incorrect "users" or "admin" password is entered 3 times in a row when attempting to access the Web pages of a machine that has the data security kit installed, access to pages that require entry of the "users" or "admin" password will be prohibited for 5 minutes. Some of the procedures for operating the machine change when the data security kit is installed. The manuals for the machine ( ☞ "OPERATION MANUALS AND HOW TO USE THEM" in the Quick Start Guide) explain the procedures for operating the machine when data security kit is not installed. This manual explains the changes to those procedures when the data security kit is installed. ■ Export restrictions The USB memory contains software to which export restrictions apply. The license for the software is stated below. By using this software, you agree to comply with the contents of this license.

This software (and associated technical data) is subject to regulations based on U.S. and Japanese laws related to export control, including the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Control Law and U.S. Export Administration Regulations. The software and technical data may also be subject to export and import regulations of other countries. The user agrees to strictly obey all applicable regulations and to obtain related licenses prior to export, re-export, or import of the software. Export, re-export, or downloading of this software to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria, or other countries subject to export restriction by the U.S.A, or to the citizens and residents of those countries, is prohibited. In addition, export or re-export of this software to persons appearing in export prohibition lists published by the governments of Japan, the U.S, and other countries is prohibited. ■ USB memory storage This USB memory may be necessary for recovery in the event that the machine fails. Store the USB memory in a safe location.

When the data security kit is installed When the data security kit is installed, the icon appears on the display. When the data security kit is installed, data remaining in the machine is automatically erased after each job. When data clearing begins, the following message appears for 6 seconds*.

• The duration of the message display can be changed with "Message Time Setting" in the system settings (administrator). (➞ Web page (Administrator) > "Operation Settings" > "Message Time Setting") If the machine power is turned off while image data is being cleared from the hard disk drive or before a job is finished, the data may not be completely erased. If you do not wish to leave partially cleared data when the power is turned off, it is recommended that you use the program "Clear All Memory" (page 11 of this manual), to complete data clearing before turning off the power. System settings of the data security kit When the data security kit is installed, settings to enhance security can be added to the system settings (administrator) of the machine. See "System settings" (page 9 of this manual) for details. Document control function The document control function is used to embed a document control pattern on the paper when print jobs, copies, and received faxes are printed. The embedded document control pattern prevents secondary copying, faxing and other operations of a printed document. For more information, see "Document Control Setting" (page 19 of this manual). Print hold To use the print hold function to store jobs in the machine when the data security kit is installed, enter a password in the printer driver settings (when the factory default setting is in effect). Files whose property is set to "Sharing" cannot be stored.

ENGLISH When the data security kit is installed Authority group registration screen When the data security kit is installed, [Security] is added to the "Authority Group Registration" menu screen in the Web page (administrator). This screen is displayed by selecting "User Control" > "Authority Group List". When this item is selected, the following screen appears.

Print Hold Approval Setting When storing an authority group for user authentication, select whether or not print hold is allowed. To enable a filing mode, select the checkbox of the mode. ● Print Jobs Other than Print Hold Job When [Allowed] is selected, print jobs other than hold jobs are allowed in authority group registration when user authentication is enabled. Print hold must be allowed in the following settings. By default, print hold is only allowed in confidential mode. ● Allow print hold in authority group registration (this setting) ● Setting for Print-Hold Disabling in the system settings (page 16 of this manual) Protecting passwords When the data security kit is installed, passwords entered from the operation panel of the machine or the Web pages can be protected. ■ Administrator Password/User Password When the data security kit is installed, password entry will be locked for 5 minutes if an incorrect administrator password is entered 3 times in a row when the user authentication function is not enabled, or if an incorrect user password is entered 3 times in a row when the user authentication function is enabled.

ENGLISH When the data security kit is installed ■ Confidential files of the print hold function If an incorrect password is entered 3 times in a row for a specific confidential file, the file will be locked. To unlock the file, use "Release Lock on Print-Hold Data Manipulation" (page 18 of this manual). ● All files with the same user name and password can be printed at once using the Batch Print feature of the print hold function ( ☞ Operation Guide "BATCH PRINTING" in "3. PRINTER".) Files that have a password different from the password that was entered at the time of the search will be treated as files for which an incorrect password was entered. For this reason, it is recommended that you avoid executing searches using [All Users] and [User Unknown] as much as possible. ● When the use of a file is prohibited, the following will apply when the print hold function is used: ● When batch print is performed, a prohibited file will not be printed even if it matches the search conditions. ■ File search screen of print hold When the data security kit is installed, the password entry setting will not appear in the print hold search screen. ■ Encrypt PDF When a job is printed by encrypted PDF direct printing (when the PS3 expansion kit is installed), the job will appear in the spool queue of the job status screen and a password must be entered to begin printing. If an incorrect password is entered 3 times in a row when the data security kit installed, the message "Operation is disabled. Please see your administrator for your assistance." will be displayed for 6 seconds and printing will be locked. If you select a file in the spool screen for which an incorrect password was entered 3 times, the following screen will appear.

Select the [Yes] key to delete the print job.

Select the [No] key to cancel deletion of the job. To unlock the print job, use "Release Lock on Print-Hold Data Manipulation" (page 18 of this manual).

ENGLISH When the data security kit is installed ■ FTP Pull Print When the FTP Pull Print function is used to directly print a file on an FTP server, a "User Name" and "Password" must be entered when the FTP server is selected. When the data security kit is installed, entry will be locked for 5 minutes if an incorrect "User Name" or "Password" is entered 3 times in a row. ■ Login when user authentication is enabled When "User Authentication Settings" in the Web page (administrator) ( ☞ "USER AUTHENTICATION" in the Quick Start Guide) is enabled, login is required in the login screen before the machine can be used. When "A Warning when Login Fails" is enabled in the Web page (administrator), the machine will lock for 5 minutes if login fails 3 times in a row. The "A Warning when Login Fails" setting is always enabled when the data security kit installed. Security Settings in the Web pages When the machine is used as a network printer and the FTP Pull Print function is used, the data security kit enables authentication of the user by means of a "User Name" and "Password" for the FTP server. (The Pull Print function allows a file on a previously stored FTP server to be printed directly from the operation panel of the machine without using the printer driver; see Operation Guide "DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER" in "3. PRINTER".) User authentication is enabled by selecting the [Enable User Authentication] checkbox on the machine's Web page for configuring FTP Pull Print settings. This checkbox appears when the data security kit is installed, and is initially selected (a checkmark appears). System requirements and the procedure for accessing the Web pages are explained in "ACCESSING THE WEB SERVER IN THE MACHINE" in the Quick Start Guide.

ENGLISH When the data security kit is installed ■ Procedure for directly printing a file on an FTP server (when user authentication is enabled) Your user name and password must be entered following selection of the FTP server that contains the file to be printed from the display of the machine. When the FTP server is selected in step 2 of "DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER" in "3. PRINTER" in the Operation Guide, a screen will appear prompting you to enter your user name and password for the FTP server. Select the [User Name] key to enter your user name and the [Password] key to enter your password. A letter entry screen will appear in each case. When you have finished entering your user name/password, select the [OK] key. After entering your user name and password, continue from step 3 of "DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER" in "3. PRINTER" in the Operation Guide. Transferring copied data When the data security kit is installed and the Web pages are used to copy data stored with the print hold function to a computer, the copied data can only be transferred back to the original machine from which it was copied. The data cannot be transferred to another machine even if the machine conditions are the same.
