Hard Disk Data Encryption; Encryption Key For Confidential Data - Xerox WorkCentre 7300 Series Administrator's Manual

Hard Disk Data Encryption

The controller hard disk data encryption is enabled by default on your WC 7300 series product. This
encryption feature provides an additional level of data security on the device, while operating at a low level
within the operating system. The impact on performance is very small.
Note: Enabling or disabling disk encryption will result in a system reboot and a hard disk initialization.
During hard disk initialization, all customer information, mailboxes, templates, and other information
stored on the disk will be lost.
To verify or change hard disk data encryption
1. Press the Log In / Out button on the Device's Control Panel.
2. Press the "1" key on the numeric keypad five consecutive times.
3. Press the Machine Status button on the Control Panel.
4. Touch the Tools tab.
5. Touch Common Service Settings.
6. Scroll to Other Settings.
7. Scroll to Data Encryption. The current setting appears in the Current Settings column. Data Encryption
should appear to be ON.
8. To change the setting, touch Data Encryption, touch Change Settings. Touch On or Off, then touch
Save.
Note: Enabling or disabling disk encryption will result in a system reboot and a hard disk initialization.
During hard disk initialization, all customer information, mailboxes, templates, and other data stored on
the disk will be lost.

Encryption Key For Confidential Data

When enabling Data Encryption, the system administrator may also create an Encryption Key For
Confidential Data. The system administrator may either verify the default encryption key, or enter a new
alpha-numeric string of up to 12 characters to be used by the encryption algorithm.
