mail for printing and transfer. The e-mail text data is comprised of character strings. If binary data such as
data with a virus is used in the e-mail text, the data will be damaged and data with a virus will be
discarded. Even if the data with a virus is visible data with a script format, it is not possible to recognize it
as a script because Date, From, Message-Id, To, or Subject data is attached at the top.
Section 4 — Network Security
4.2 – Mail Server Security
When the Scan and Send on imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices is enabled, the internal mail service is
enabled and supports the POP and SMTP protocols. To protect the service against attack or improper use,
administrators can enable additional security features such as SMTP Authentication and POP
Authentication before SMTP.
SMTP Authentication
To prevent unauthorized users from making use of the device’s internal SMTP server, administrators can
enable SMTP Authentication and designate a username and password to connect to the server.
In addition, administrators can enable SSL for all SMTP send and receive operations.
POP Authentication Before SMTP
As an additional layer of security, imageRUNNER ADVANCE systems support the ability for
administrators to enable or disable the POP Authentication before SMTP feature. POP Authentication
before SMTP forces a successful login to a POP server prior to being able to send mail via SMTP.
