Security
Confidential information is always at risk of being copied without permission or subject to unauthorized access through the network. To protect documents from such intrusion, not only can passwords be set, but also the Extended Security function can be used to strengthen security.
For those who require increased document protection, we recommend the Extended Security function.
Primary Security Functions
◆ Protecting Image Data Remaining in Memory
Protects image data remaining in memory. When a copy job is completed, or a job is canceled, the data is secure.
◆ Authenticating Administrator
Protects essential functions for administrating document security using an access code. See p.40 "Key Operator Code".
Operating Environment and Notes
Security for this machine is assured on the premises that the machine is used under the following conditions:
Operating Environment
- The condition of the machine is normal. (For example, it is not damaged, modified, or lacking components.)
- The machine is managed by an administrator with thorough knowledge of the machine and capable of providing the proper conditions under which users can use the machine safely.
For Administrator
- Security of this machine cannot be assured if any hardware component is detached or replaced with an inappropriate component. If these things have the possibility of occurring, other security measures are necessary.
- Avoid using a single number or consecutive numbers for a key operator code such as “00000000” or “12345678”. Since the numbers like this are easy to guess, using them will not provide the appropriate level of security.
- User code is a function to help manage the use of the machine. It is not to protect confidential documents from others.
