Security and Administration

Device access and data security have quickly moved to the top of customer concerns and purchase criteria. The C6055 and C7570 offer a number of standard and optional features to limit device access, track use, and protect confidential information stored in memory.

WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION

When accessing the MFP, users are asked to input the username and password that matches their existing login data for other areas of the network domain. Windows Authentication thereby protects against unauthorized use of the machine while eliminating the need for general users to remember additional passwords and for IT personnel to support another login-password system. Once access is granted, the user’s name is automatically entered in the Sender’s Name field of outgoing Scan-to- email jobs, providing traceability.

Depending upon the customer’s type of network, users may take advantage of these other device access mechanisms:

■LDAP Authentication uses the company e-mail server to confirm authorization.

■Basic Authentication limits device access by asking for a username and password stored in the device. This allows customers to control device/data access in non-networked environments.

■User Code Authentication uses assigned code to monitor use. The same code can be used by more than one user, to track system usage by client or job, for example.

■SMTP Authentication and POP before SMTP provide an additional layer of security by verifying a user’s rights to send scanned data before the file is transmitted via Scan-to-email.
