Security Kit Functions

The security kit enables overwriting and encryption.
Overwriting
Multi-functional products (MFPs) temporarily stores print jobs as data in the SSD, and prints from that data.
Users can also store various types of data in the SSD. As the data storage area used for such data remains in
the SSD as is until it is overwritten by other data, the data stored here remains restorable using special tools for
undesirable use.
The security kit deletes and overwrites (hereinafter collectively referred to as overwrite(s)) the unnecessary data
storage area used for the output data or deleted data to ensure that data cannot be restored.
Overwriting is performed automatically, without user intervention.
CAUTION:
When you cancel a job, the machine immediately starts overwriting the data that has been already
stored in the SSD.
Encryption
MFPs store Custom Box and Job Box data in the SSD. It means the data could be possibly leaked or tampered
with if the SSD is stolen.
The security kit encrypts data before storing it in the SSD. It guarantees higher security because no data cannot
be decoded by ordinary output or operations.
Encryption is automatically performed and no special procedure is required.
CAUTION:
Encryption helps enhance security. However, data stored in a Custom Box or Job Box can be
decoded by the normal printing operation. Never store confidential data in a Custom Box or Job Box.
