White Paper: Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE Security
Section 3 — Information Security
System administrators can choose to force all scan and copy jobs to apply Document Scan Lock &
Tracking code onto each print job, as well as choose whether to allow all or prohibit all copy,
scan, send and fax jobs of documents that contain the hidden tracking code.
For more information on Document Scan Lock & Tracking as it pertains to tracing, please
consult the Logging & Auditing section in this document.
3.2 – Data Security*
A wide variety of device and network security features are standard on imageRUNNER ADVANCE
systems. Canon recognizes that each customer’s needs are different, therefore Canon offers various
advanced security options to assist companies in meeting their internal privacy goals and address regulatory
guidelines that may be applicable to certain environments.
These options have been developed in accordance with the extended security requests of key customers and
U.S. government agencies. Canon offers advanced security features that protect data stored on the device
and during transmission.
Data at Rest
HDD and RAM Data Protection
All imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems require hard disk and RAM for their normal operation.
The partitions on the imageRUNNER ADVANCE hard disk are formatted with one of the
following types of file systems:
 iR File System
 FAT 32-Compatible File System
The “iR File System” is a Canon proprietary file system that was designed solely for the
processing of image files in a fast and efficient manner. This file system is not compatible with
commonly used PC file systems, and therefore analyzing its data at the sector level is extremely
difficult.
The “Fat-32 Compatible File-System” is the file system used by the imageRUNNER Advance for
the disk areas that store the system firmware, MEAP applications, Mail Box and Advance Box
files.
In general, it is difficult to analyze the data on these file systems at the sector level, however,
Canon recognizes that highly motivated and experienced attackers may try to obtain information
from environments where sensitive information is processed, by analyzing the hard disks from
these devices. In order to help protect your sensitive and confidential information Canon
imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems include a standard hard disk format utility, as well as more
advanced optional accessories, such as the HDD Data Erase Kit, the HDD Data Encryption Kit or
the Removable HDD Kit. With the new Next Generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices,
the HDD Data Erase Kit comes standard.
* Some imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems that are configured with the optional HDD Mirroring Kit for external
Print Controller may contain more than one disk
