Overview
Sensitive information that is handled through information devices such as computers and printers can be targeted by malicious third parties. Unexpected losses may result not only from attacks such as unauthorized access, but also information leakage caused by carelessness and misoperation. The printer is equipped with a variety of security functions to protect against these risks. Take the necessary measures according to your environment.
Administrator Password (and security administrator password) Settings
Allow only users with access privileges to change settings and prevent unauthorized use by third parties. In addition, in models where security policies can be set, it is possible to set a security administrator with higher authority than an administrator. This enables advanced security.
User Restrictions
Restrictions can be placed on operation in standard user mode.
Network Security
You can make security settings for the network and protect valuable data and information.
Security Policy
In models that allow a configurable security policy, security-related settings can be copied from the printer of the security administrator who made the security setting to other printers. This enables unified management of security-related settings of printers in departments managed by security administrators. The management scope includes not only printers in the same network, but also printers for remote work.
The security policy manages not only communication protection but also prevention of unauthorized use.
The printers that can be managed by the security policy include not only some of Canon inkjet printers, but also some of imageCLASS printers,i-SENSYS printers and imagePRESS printers.
Firmware Updates
Keep firmware updated to the latest version to enjoy smooth and secure printer operation.
