Canon multifunction machines and printers have a security policy function for collectively configuring and managing multiple security settings according to a policy. You cannot edit the security policy with the machine, but you can apply a security policy that has been edited with another device or device management software.
You can import a security policy exported from another device or the device management software to the machine and apply it. * If you cannot import a security policy exported from another machine to this machine, use the device management software.
Import the security policy using Remote UI from a computer. You cannot use the control panel to import it. Administrator privileges are required. When a security policy is imported, the machine restarts automatically.
Do not turn OFF the machine until the import is complete.
It may take a few minutes until the process is completed. Turning OFF the machine during processing may cause data corruption or damage the machine.
Do not operate the machine during import.
Before import, check that the machine is not printing or performing other operations.
* If you cannot import a security policy exported from another machine to this machine, use the device management software.
Applying a Password-protected Security Policy
When applying a security policy that is protected with a password from another device to the machine, the same password is set for the security policy on the machine. Thereafter, you can only import a security policy with the same password.
* The security policy exported from the machine is also set with the same password.
Checking the Security Policy Applied to the Machine
You can check the security policy items and their usage.
Check the security policy using Remote UI from a computer. You cannot use the control panel to check this information. Administrator privileges are required.
