Security Functions

Setting the Enhanced Security Mode to [ON] will validate the security func-
tion of this machine. For details of the settings of different security functions
to be changed by turning [ON] the Enhanced Security Mode, see “Enhancing
the Security Function” on page 2-8.

Setting the Enhanced Security Mode to [ON] will enhance the authentication
function. Access control is then provided through password authentication
for any access to the Administrator Setting mode, User Authentication mode,
User Box, a User Box data file, and a Secure Print file. Access is thereby
granted only to the authenticated user.

A password that can be set must meet the requirements of the Password
Rules. The machine does not accept setting of an easily decipherable pass-
word. For details of the Password Rules, see “Password Rules” on
page 1-11
.

If a wrong password is entered, during password authentication, a predeter-
mined number of times (once to three times) set by the Administrator of the
machine or more, the machine determines that it is unauthorized access
through Prohibit Function When Auth. Error, prohibiting any further entry of
the password. By prohibiting the password entry operation, the machine pre-
vents unauthorized use or removal of data, thereby ensuring secured used
of the machine.

To cancel the password entry operation prohibited condition, the Adminis-
trator must perform the Release Setting. When the Administrator performs
the Release Setting for the operation prohibited condition, a sound operation
control in utmost security is achieved under the control of the Administrator.

Setting the HDD Lock Password provides the following security function.
That is, even if the HDD is illegally replaced with another, the HDD authenti-
cation function prohibits access to the HDD, when the HDD Lock Password
is yet to be set or there is a mismatch in the passwords. In addition, should
the HDD be removed unawares, the HDD Lock Password locks the HDD pro-
tecting data contained in the HDD. Furthermore, by mounting the optional
Security Kit SC-503 and setting the Encryption Key, the data stored in the
HDD is encrypted, thereby protecting the data in the HDD. Note, however,
that the HDD Lock Password and Encryption Key do not prevent the HDD
from being physically removed. Make sure of a good operation control.

When the machine is to be discarded, or use of a leased machine is termi-
nated at the end of the leasing contract, the Overwrite All Data function over-
writes and erases all data stored in all spaces of the HDD. The function also
resets all passwords saved in the NVRAM to factory settings, preventing leak
of data. For details of items to be cleared by Overwrite All Data function, see
“Types of Data Cleared by Overwrite All Data Function” on page 1-12.
