Specifying Send/Fax Security Settings
When entering a fax destination manually, there is a potential for the information to be leaked if the fax is mistakenly sent to the wrong destination.
Also, there is a possibility that data may be intercepted during the sending process by external users with ill intent.
By performing the applicable security settings on your imageRUNNER ADVANCE, you can help minimize the risk of information leakage when sending data.
This section describes procedures for the settings below.
The screens may differ, depending on the model of the machine and on attached optional products.
Setting the Address Book PIN
You can set a PIN for the Address Book, which is used when sending faxes and scanning. By setting a PIN, you can restrict the registering, editing, adding, and erasing of destinations. You can enter up to seven digits for the Address Book PIN.
Limiting New Destinations
This mode restricts sending to registered destinations only. Setting this mode in combination with the Address Book PIN enables you to strengthen the security for sending. Sending is only allowed in the following cases when this mode is set:
If you specify a destination stored in the Address Book
If you specify a destination via an LDAP Server
If you specify a destination by pressing a one-touch button
If you recall a destination stored in [Favorite Settings]
If you select [Send to Myself]
You can turn the limits On or Off for each send function (Fax, E-Mail, I-Fax, File Server).
You cannot enter new destinations for a restricted function.
Managing Address Book Access Numbers
This mode enables you to assign access numbers to each destination so that when you enter an access number, only the corresponding destination is displayed. By managing the access numbers and combining this mode with Limit New Destinations, you can limit the destinations available to each user.
Confirming Entered Fax Numbers
This mode requires you to enter a fax number and confirm the number (enter the number a second time) to prevent misdialing.
Prohibiting Sending from the Fax Driver
This mode enables you to set the machine to prohibit sending from the fax driver.
By combining this mode with the management functions of the machine, you can help prevent unauthorized sending.
Setting the MAC Address Filter
The MAC Address Filter identifies the sender and regulates transmission.
A MAC Address is set for the machine receiving communications. A MAC Address is a unique network interface ID number for computers and network machines.
Access is restricted to machines with an authorized MAC address. A MAC address does not change even if the IP address is changed, enabling you to securely transmit data.
Specifying the TX Destination Domain
This mode enables you to restrict the domains where e-mails can be sent.
If you restrict the domains for sending, you can send documents only to destinations that belong to the specified domains.
In turn, this helps prevent information leakage.
Encrypting Data
You can set a password for opening a PDF file or encrypt the PDF file itself for sending. If you set a password for a PDF file, only recipients who enter the correct password can open, edit, or print the file. Also, you can grant editing/operating privileges according to the sensitivity of the information (optional kit required).

Reference Information
SSL Communication
You can perform SSL communication which encrypts your data transmissions. Doing so helps prevent data interception, theft, and modification.
|
NOTE
|
|
SSL Encrypted Communication is a send/receive protocol that encrypts data on the Internet. This protocol is widely used to encrypt data on the Internet such as WWW and FTP, which enables confidential information including credit card numbers and trade secrets to be securely transmitted.
|
WebDAV
You can transmit files using WebDAV. WebDAV enables you to share files via an Internet server. If the server supports SSL (HTTPS), all transmissions over the server are encrypted, making file sharing more secure and versatile.
