2.9 Security Features

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE 8500 III Series include a comprehensive set of

security features, such as Device Authentication, Data Security, Document

Security, and Network Security.

This section describes the standard ways of how users can authenticate to the

device. The default Device Authentication mode is UA (Universal Authentication).

• UA (Universal Authentication) - A user authentication system that enables

the functions of the machine and MEAP applications, to be used after being

authenticated once. UA has two compatible user authentication systems

(Domain

Authentication is linked to a domain controller in a Windows Active Directory

environment on a network. Local Device Authentication uses a database inside

the machine to authenticate users. Administrators can use one of these two

systems or both at the same time. The Access Management System is a

subset of the UA system.

• ULM (Universal Login Manager) - ULM is a MEAP application, developed by

NT-ware, which provides log in management capabilities, such as simple user

authentication, Local Authentication, and Domain Authentication for Canon

imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices. These user authentication methods use

Picture Log In, PIN Codes, or Proximity Card Log In methods to gain access to

the machine. Although, ULM is a server-less authentication solution, it can also

integrate with the Access Management System for advanced security.

Furthermore, ULM can be upgraded to the full uniFLOW platform, which

provides mobile printing, secure printing, advanced security, and scanning

workflow capabilities, along with a fully-automated statistics and reporting suite.

NOTE

ULM comes pre-installed on all Third Generation imageRUNNER ADVANCE

devices. To activate the ULM, the PC/Workstation used to activate via the

Remote UI, must have access to the Internet.
