Security Policy Function

The security policy function is used to collectively configure the
security-related settings into one security policy. These settings can be
protected by a dedicated password to achieve a high-level of security.
An Administrator can implement policy settings that comply with the
security policies of his/her company in the devices under his/her charge
to restrict people, other than the Administrator and end users, from using
functions that do not comply with the policies, or from changing the
setting values.
The information configured in the security policy can be exported or
imported by using the DCM function or the iWEMC DCM Plug-In, and can
be copied to multiple devices.
IMPORTANT
• Only an Administrator, who knows the security password, can disable
the Security function or Service Mode password.
• Proper management and workflows are necessary for users who use
the Security Policy function, and for machines that support this function.
• If an Administrator must log on to access the machine, it is necessary to
notify the service technicians and the Call Center of support of these
security policies, in case the Administrators or users forget their
passwords. Therefore, a service technician must make an appointment
with the Administrator, before a visit, so that the Security function can
be disabled. Also, it is important to verify and establish a system to
issue license keys.
• Users can also lock the Service Mode of the machine, and the
Administrator must release it with their password.
• The passwords of the Administrator can be cleared from the Service
Mode. However, if the Security Policy is set to restrict access to the
Service Mode, then the Service Technician cannot clear passwords
from the Service Mode. If the Administrator forgot his/her password, an
HDD clear (clears many Settings/Registration settings and Service
Mode settings) can be performed, or the Administrator can request a
new password license from a local authorized Canon dealer. It is
necessary to explain to the Administrator about the risk of any security
policy specified, and request to manage the passwords.
