Section 3 – Information Security

Essentials Workflow Composer

Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Essentials includes the Workflow Composer component to enable users and administrators to create custom workflows that automate redundant tasks and provide integration with back-end systems via connectors. Administrators are able to create workflows for users to reduce errors when sending documents and limit access to only designated individuals for operations that interact with back-end systems.

Trusted Platform Module

Every imageRUNNER ADVANCE system includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM),

a tamper-resistant open standards security chip that is responsible for encrypting and decrypting information such as passwords, certificates, IDs and cryptographic keys. TPM protects information on the internal hard disk drive by storing the encryption key in a separate location. Once enabled, the device will not launch if the TPM chip is removed to protect against physical attacks.

TPM functionality is disabled by default. The feature can be enabled on Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices within the Additional Functions menu. Once enabled, it is important to back up the TPM key in the event of failure through USB memory.

Data in Transit

Encrypted Secured Print

Encrypted Secured Print utilizes strong AES 256 bit encryption to protect your print job data while in transmission over the network. To protect print jobs from being output at the device unattended, the Encrypted Secured Print feature holds the job in a queue until the user-defined password is entered on the control panel.

Encrypted PDF

The Encrypted PDF feature of imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support 40-bit/128-bit RC4 encryption and 128-bit AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for greater security when sending documents. When sending a 128-bit AES encrypted PDF, Acrobat 7.0 or later is required to open the 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.
