Data Encryption

Allows you to select whether or not to encrypt data recorded on the hard disk of the
machine.
When you enable data encryption, the machine encrypts automatically copy, scan, or print
data written to the hard disk. You cannot select whether or not to encrypt by feature. This
prevents unauthorized access to the stored data. To activate this feature, set an encryption
key.
