Section 3 – Information Security

The Scan Lock feature enables the following restrictions to be applied to a document:

•Complete Restriction: No one can make any copy/send/fax.

•Password Authentication: Allows the ability to make copy/send/fax only if the proper password is entered.

•User Authentication: Allows the ability to make copy/send/fax only to original authorized user logged into the device with the proper User ID and Password.

System administrators can choose to force all scan and copy jobs to apply Document Scan Lock & Tracking code onto each print job, as well as choose whether to allow all or prohibit all copy, scan, send and fax jobs of documents that contain the hidden tracking code.

For more information on Document Scan Lock & Tracking as it pertains to tracing, please consult the Logging & Auditing section in this document.

3.2 – Data Security*

A wide variety of device and network security features are standard on imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems. Canon recognizes that each customer’s needs are different, therefore Canon offers various advanced security options to assist companies in meeting their internal privacy goals and address regulatory guidelines that may be applicable to certain environments.

These options have been developed in accordance with the extended security requirements of key customers and U.S. government agencies. Canon offers advanced security features that protect data stored on the device and during transmission.

Data at Rest

HDD and RAM Data Protection

All imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems require hard disk and RAM for their normal operation.

The partitions on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE hard disk are formatted with one of the following types of file systems:

•iR File System

•FAT 32-Compatible File System

The “iR File System” is a Canon proprietary file system that was designed solely for the processing of image files in a fast and efficient manner. This file system is not compatible with commonly used PC file systems, and therefore analyzing its data at the sector level is extremely difficult.

The “Fat-32 Compatible File-System” is the file system used by the imageRUNNER Advance for the disk areas that store the system firmware, MEAP applications, Mail Box and Advance Box files.

In general, it is difficult to analyze the data on these file systems at the sector level, however, Canon recognizes that highly motivated and experienced attackers may try to obtain

*Some imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems that are configured with the optional HDD Mirroring Kit for external Print Controller may contain more than one disk.

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.
