IP Address Filtering

Using the RX/Print Settings function, the System Manager can limit network access to the device to specific IP addresses or ranges for printing and Settings/Browsing. Up to eight individual or consecutive address settings can be specified. Subsequently, the System Manager can also choose to permit a range of addresses, but reject specific addresses within that range.

Media Access Control (MAC) Filtering

MAC address filtering is useful for smaller networks where

administrators can manage controls for specific systems, regardless of the subnet to which they happen to be connected. For environments using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for IP address assignments, MAC address filtering can avoid issues that are caused when DHCP leases expire and a new IP address is issued to a system. As with IP address filters, MAC address filters can be used to allow or deny access to specific addresses. Up to 100 MAC addresses can be registered and easily added, edited, or deleted through the Remote UI interface. MAC address filters take a higher priority than the IP address filters; so necessary systems can be allowed or denied, even if the system’s IP address would dictate otherwise.

SSL Encryption

Many organizations are quite diligent about protecting data as it is transferred between PCs and servers or from one PC to another. However, when it comes to transmitting that same data to and from the MFP device, it is almost always sent in clear text. As a result, it may be possible to capture all the data as it is sent to the printer via the network. Canon helps mitigate this dilemma by providing Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption support for some transmissions to and from the imageRUNNER device, such as Internet protocol Printing (IPP) , Internet-fax (I-fax), Remote UI, Web Access and DIDF.

IPv6 Support

IPv6 support, which is available in all imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, provides a more secure network infrastructure, improved traffic routing and easier management for administrators than IPv4.

IPSec Support

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support an optional IPSec Board, which allows users to utilize IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) to help ensure the privacy and security of information sent to and from the device, while in transit over unsecured networks.

IPSec is a suite of protocols for securing IP communications. IPSec supports secure exchange of packets at the IP layer, where the packets in the data stream are authenticated and encrypted. It encrypts traffic so that the traffic cannot be read by parties other than those for whom it is intended, it also ensures that the traffic has not been modified along its path and is from a trusted party, and protects against replay of the secure session. The IPSec functionality of the device only supports transport mode, therefore authentication and encryption is only applied to the data part of the IP packets.

Paper Shredder specifications

Canon has established a strong reputation for producing reliable and efficient office equipment, and their range of paper shredders is no exception. Designed to cater to both personal and professional use, Canon paper shredders combine advanced technology with user-friendly features to ensure optimal performance and security.

One of the standout characteristics of Canon paper shredders is their high-security shredding capabilities. Many models offer cross-cut or micro-cut shredding, which transforms documents into tiny particles that make it nearly impossible for unauthorized individuals to reconstruct sensitive information. This is particularly important in today's digital age, where data breaches and identity theft are of significant concern.

Another key feature is the processing speed of Canon paper shredders. With rapid sheet capacity, users can quickly shred large volumes of documents, making these shredders a valuable asset in busy office environments. Their durable motor ensures consistent performance without overheating, even during extended use.

Innovation is also at the forefront of Canon’s technology. Many shredders are equipped with advanced jam-proof systems, which detect potential jams in real-time and automatically reverse the shredding process to prevent damage. This ensures smooth operation and reduces downtime due to maintenance issues.

Moreover, Canon paper shredders offer a variety of convenience features tailored to enhance user experience. Many models come with large, easy-to-empty waste bins, allowing for fewer interruptions during the shredding process. Some even feature LED indicators that alert users when the bin is full or when shredding is in progress.

Portability is another important aspect, with several Canon models designed to be compact and lightweight. This allows users to easily transport the shredder between home and office settings.

Lastly, energy efficiency is a priority in Canon’s design process. Many shredders come equipped with automatic shut-off functions that engage after periods of inactivity, helping to conserve power and reduce energy costs.

In summary, Canon paper shredders are characterized by their high-security shredding capabilities, fast processing speeds, innovative technologies to prevent jams, convenient design features, portability, and energy efficiency. Ideal for maintaining confidentiality and organization in both personal and professional settings, Canon paper shredders continue to set a high standard in the shredding industry.
