Print Driver Security Features

Print Job Accounting

A standard feature in Canon’s printer drivers, print job accounting requires users to enter an administrator-defined password prior to printing, thereby restricting device access to those authorized to print. Printing restrictions can be set using Department ID credentials or through the Access Management System.

Custom Driver Configuration Tool Administrators can create customer driver

profiles for users to limit access to print features and specify default settings, thereby protecting the device against unauthorized use, enforcing internal policies and better control output costs. Security conscious settings that can be defined and enforced include duplex output, secure print, B&W only on color devices, watermarks and custom print profiles, as well as hiding any desired functions. For easier deployment, the customized drivers can be distributed to desktops across the organization through the Printer Driver Management Plug-in for imageWARE Enterprise Management Console (iWEMC).

USB Block

USB Block allows the System Administrator to help protect the imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems against unauthorized access through the built-in USB interface. Access to the device’s USB interface for desktop access and the device’s host mode for other USB devices can each be permitted or disabled.

Go to Settings / Registration > Preferences > External Interface > USB Settings.

2.4 – Third Party MEAP Application and Development

Canon actively collaborates with leading third-party software companies to develop custom solutions for imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, known as MEAP applications. Each MEAP enabled device includes a number of safeguards to help ensure the security and integrity of information stored on the device.

Access to the Software Development Kit for MEAP is tightly restricted and controlled through licensing. Once an application has been developed, it is thoroughly reviewed by Canon to ensure that it meets strict guidelines for operability and security. Following the review, the application is digitally signed with a special encrypted signature to protect the integrity of the application. If the application is modified in any way, the signature code will not match and the application will not be permitted to run on the device. These safety measures make it virtually impossible for an altered or rogue MEAP application to be executed on an imageRUNNER ADVANCE system.

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.
