Section 3 – Information Security

information from environments, where sensitive information is processed, by analyzing the hard disks from these devices. In order to help protect your sensitive and confidential information Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems include a standard hard disk format utility, as well as more advanced optional accessories, such as the HDD Data Erase Kit, the HDD Data Encryption Kit or the Removable HDD Kit.

Standard HDD Format*

Best practices, and often company policies, usually recommend that systems be completely wiped by the system administrator prior to the device being reallocated to a new location or prior to the end of lease or at the end of its lease. The Hard Disk Drive Format feature, which is standard on all imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems, is more than just a regular hard disk format function. It not only deletes the File Allocation table (FAT) associated with all user areas on the disk, but it also overwrites all user data areas on the hard disk with null characters. Overwritten information includes:

•Data stored in Mail Boxes and Advanced Box

•Data stored in Fax/I-Fax Inbox (Confidential Fax Inbox/Memory RX Inbox)

•Address data stored in the Address Book

•Scan settings registered for the Sending function

•Mode Memory settings registered for the Copy or Mail Box function

•MEAP applications and license files

•Data saved from MEAP applications

•The password for the SMS (Service Management Service) login service of MEAP

•User authentication information registered in the Local Device Authentication system of SSO-H (Single Sign-On H)

•Unsent documents (reserved documents and documents set with the Delayed Send mode)

•Job history

•Settings/Registration settings

•Forms registered for the Superimpose Image mode

•Registered forwarding settings

•Key Pair and Server Certificate registered in [Certificate Settings] in [Device Management] in Management Settings (from the Settings/Registration screen)

The standard HDD format feature that is included with every imageRUNNER ADVANCE system will perform a one pass overwrite using null characters. If the optional HDD Erase Kit is installed, the HDD Format feature provides additional overwrite options, including the choice to perform a DoD 5022.22M compliant 3-pass overwrite.

HDD Data Encryption Kit

The HDD Data Encryption Kit option, which has achieved Common Criteria Certification of Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3), ensures that all data stored on the internal disk drive is protected using industry-standard algorithms. The HDD Data Encryption Kit for imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems uses a dedicated plug-in board that encrypts every byte of data before it is committed to the disk using the 256-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm.

Please refer to Section 9.2 for information on the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Hard Disk Drive Security Kit Options.

*Please see the imageRUNNER Bulletin #5.10 issued on 4/26/10 entitled Hard Disk Drive Format Technology Procedures for imageRUNNER, imageRUNNER ADVANCE and imagePRESS devices to learn more about this feature.

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.
