White Paper: Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Security
Section 3 — Information Security
To prevent the storage of executable files that may contain viruses and other malicious code,
system administrators can restrict the types of documents that can be saved to only printable
formats, such as PDF, TIFF, and JPEG.
Other Document Security Capabilities
Watermark / Secure Watermark
To discourage the unauthorized copying or sending of confidential information, imageRUNNER
ADVANCE systems support the ability to embed user-defined text within the background of any
print or copy job. When duplicates are made by photocopying, the secure watermark appears. The
optional Secure Watermark feature can be set for all print jobs, or assigned by the user through the
print driver. Users can also define custom or preset watermarks to appear in any position on
copied output.
Encrypted PDF
The Encrypted PDF mode within the optional Scan and Send Security Feature Set enables users to
encrypt, set password and define permissions for PDF files that are sent to an e-mail address or
file server for enhanced security. Only users who enter the correct password can open, print, or
change the received PDF file.
Encrypted PDF mode can be used only if an e-mail address or file server is specified as the
destination. If a fax number, I-fax address, or inbox is specified as the destination, a user
cannot send the job as an encrypted PDF file. Encrypted PDF files can be saved using 40bit RC4,
128bit RC4 or the 128bit AES algorithms. When sending with Encrypted PDF 128bit AES,
Acrobat 7.0 or later is required to open the PDF file. With the new Next Generation
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices, Encrypted PDF now offers AES 256-bit support.
Digital Signature PDF (Device and User Signature)
Within Scan and Send, users can add digital signatures that verify the source and authenticity of a
PDF or XPS document. When recipients open a PDF or XPS file that has been saved with a digital
signature, they can view the document’s properties to review the signature’s contents including the
Certificate Authority, system product name, serial number and the Time/Date stamp of when it
was created. If the signature is a device signature it will also contain the name of the device that
created the document, while a user signature verifies the identity of the authenticated user that sent
or saved the document.
