Encrypting Data On The Machine - Ricoh Pro C9100 Operating Instructions Manual

Encrypting Data on the Machine

• Keep SD cards or USB flash memory devices out of reach of children. If a child accidentally
swallows an SD card or USB flash memory device, consult a doctor immediately.
Even if the memory device or hard disk is stolen, data leakage can be prevented by encrypting the data
on the machine, such as Address Book, authentication data, and files.
Once encryption is enabled, all data subsequently stored on the machine will be encrypted.
You can also choose to encrypt or delete the data currently stored on the machine.
The encryption algorithm is AES-256.
Data that is encrypted
This function encrypts data that is stored in the machine's NVRAM (memory that remains even after
the machine is turned off) and on the hard disk.
The following data is encrypted:
NVRAM
• System settings information
• Network I/F setting information
• Browser Features
• User code information
• Counter information
Hard disk
• Address Book
• Embedded Software Architecture applications' program/log
• Logs (Job log/access log/Eco-friendly log)
• Sent/received e-mail
Type of Encryption
Specify whether to encrypt existing data and keep it on the hard disk or delete (format) it.
Encryption takes time if a large amount of data is to be kept. The NVRAM data will not be deleted
(initialized).
