Security Suggestions for Key Operators

Overview Product

To maintain your machine’s highly-sensitive document data secure from unauthorized users, machine access must be restricted, managed, and controlled from the initial machine installation, network connection, network configuration, and setup of security functions.

The designated Key Operators are instructed to perform the recommended security measures described below.

1.Key Operators are required to verify the identity of the manufacturer's service technician, or of an affiliated company's staff, or marketing company, by requesting their ID Card.

2.Always connect through a Firewall when installing your device on a network that is connected to the Internet. When connecting this device to a client PC, or a server, we recommend configuring your network environment with a switching hub to prevent your device from being wiretapped.

3.A Key Operator password is essential to maintaining the security of the machine.

Key Operators are required to keep the password confidential, and in a safe place.

To change the initial Key Operator password, refer to the Operating Instructions (For Copy & Function

Parameters), and setup:

[General Settings] [09 Key Operator Mode] [50 Key Operator Password]

4.Change the Hard Disk Drive Lock password from the initial setting.

By setting a password, even is the hard disk drive is taken away, the password locked device prevents illicit retrieval of the data by unauthorized personnel.

The Hard Disk Drive Lock password is required when the equipment is being repaired. Furthermore, it is essential that the Key Operator personally enter the password to maintain security of the password and prevent unauthorized users.

To change the initial Hard Disk Drive Lock password, refer to the Operating Instructions (For Copy & Function

Parameters), and setup:

[General Settings] [09 Key Operator Mode] [51 HD Drive Lock Settings]

5.The documents stored in the Mail Box should be printed immediately. Upon printing, the document data is deleted, thus preventing unauthorized re-printing by a third party.

For additional information, please refer to the Operating Instructions (For PCL Printer Driver), [Mail Box].

6.When disposing of this equipment, initialize the Hard Disk Drive, by overwriting and deleting the data area stored in the Hard Disk Drive.

To initialize the Hard Disk Drive, refer to the Operating Instructions (For Copy & Function Parameters), and

setup:

The security settings on this equipment are restricted, and requires the input of an 8-digit Key Operator password to set, or change them. The initial password setting is 00000000 (8-digit). The password can be set arbitrarily.

The Key Operator plays a critical part in maintaining and controlling the security of the machine, and in prevention of its unauthorized access, therefore, it is of utmost importance that you understand the content described in the Operating Instructions, and that you follow the suggestions herein.
