Section 3 – Information Security

Administrators can manage the Advanced Box feature through the Remote UI interface and perform the following actions:

Create user accounts and define type (Admin vs. End User)

Activate authentication and enable Personal Space

Register network devices for remote access

Select the file formats allowed for storage (printable format only, common

Office formats, or all). By limiting to printable formats only, such as TIFF, JPEG and PDF, the risk of viruses that are commonly attached to .exe files is reduced.

To prevent the storage of executable files that may contain viruses and other malicious code, system administrators can restrict the types of documents that can be saved to only printable formats, such as PDF, TIFF, and JPEG.

Other Document Security Capabilities

Watermark / Secure Watermark

To discourage the unauthorized copying or sending of confidential information, imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support the ability to embed user-defined text within the background of any print or copy job. When duplicated are made by photocopying, the secure watermark appears. The optional Secure Watermark feature can be set for all print jobs, or assigned by the user through the print driver. Users can also define custom or preset watermarks to appear in any position on copied output.

Encrypted PDF

The Encrypted PDF mode within the optional Scan and Send Security Feature Set enables users to encrypt, set password and define permissions for PDF files that are sent to an e-mail address or file server for enhanced security. Only users who enter the correct password can open, print, or change the received PDF file.

Encrypted PDF mode can be used only if an e-mail address or file server is specified as the destination. If a fax number, I-fax address, or inbox is specified as the destination, a user cannot send the job as an encrypted PDF file. Encrypted PDF files can be saved using 40bit RC4, 128bit RC4 or the 128bit AES algorithms. When sending with Encrypted PDF 128bit AES, Acrobat 7.0 or later is required to open the PDF file.

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.
