Restricting Use of Memory Media

USB memory devices and other memory media can be easy and convenient, but they can also lead to information leakage. You can prohibit the use of memory media for specific functions or all functions.
Even if you use this setting to restrict the use of memory media, a computer can still be connected to the USB port on the back of the machine. To also restrict computer connections, see the following.
