Section 2 — Device Security

2.1 – imageRUNNER ADVANCE Controller Security

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE series is built upon a new platform that provides powerful enhancements to security and productivity. The new architecture centers on a new operating system powered by an embedded version of Linux, which is quickly becoming the most widely adopted platform for sophisticated devices. The source version used by imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices has been hardened by removing all unnecessary drivers and services so that only the ones essential to its operation are included.

2.2 – Authentication

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems include a number of authentication options which administrators can use to ensure that only approved walk-up and network-based users can access the device and its functions, such as print, copy and Scan and Send features. Beyond limiting access to only authorized users, authentication also provides the ability to control usage of color output, and total print counts by department or user.

Device-Based Authentication

Department ID Mode

An embedded feature within imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, the Department ID Management mode permits administrators to control device access. If Department ID authentication is enabled, end users are required to enter a password before they are able to access the device. Up to 1,000 Department IDs can be configured and each can be configured with device function limitations, such as limiting, printing, copying and access to Advance Boxes, Mail Boxes and facsimile.

Access to Advanced Boxes, Mail Boxes, and Scan and Send (if applicable) can each be turned “On” or “Off” from the Limit Functions screen located under Department ID Management.

The settings can be made under Settings / Registration > Management Settings > User Management > Department ID Management.

Single Sign On (SSO) and SSO Hybrid (SSO-H) Login

Single Sign On (SSO) is a MEAP login service that can be used stand-alone with user data registered locally on the device or in conjunction with an Active Directory (AD) network environment. SSO supports the following modes:

•Local Device Authentication – with credentials stored in the device

•Domain Authentication – in this mode, user authentication can be linked to an Active Directory environment on the network

•Domain Authentication + Local Device Authentication

When used in Domain Authentication mode, a user must successfully authenticate using valid credentials on the system’s control panel, Remote UI utility, or web browser when accessed via a network prior to gaining access to any of the device functions.

SSO ships standard with MEAP capable imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems and can support up to 200 trusted domains plus the users that belong to the same domain as the device.

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.
