DATA CLEARANCE SETTINGS

Data Clearance Settings

Enabling this function activates the following security functions on the machine.
Use caution, as this function cannot be canceled once enabled.
  • The image data generated in each job is encrypted.
  • You can automatically clear the encrypted data in the memory or on the hard disk drive after completing each job.
  • If you enter the password below incorrectly three consecutive times, the input operation becomes locked for five minutes.
    • Administrator password/user password to use when the user authentication function is not set
    • Password for confidential folders and files in document filing
    • Password for printing encrypted PDF for direct printing*
      *This data cannot be used if you enter the password incorrectly three consecutive times.
    • Password for FTP pull print
To enable these features, touch [OK] when a message for confirming whether or not to enable the features appears, and enter the same code as that shown on the "Security code input" screen. Touch the [Execute] key. Then restart the device. After restarting, you can select from one to seven times for the "Clearance Time Settings".
A high clearance time setting will increase security, however, the time will take longer to clear. It is recommended that you set it to an appropriate setting according to your usage.
