Security Kit Functions

The security kit enables overwriting and encryption.
Overwriting
The MFP 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 unneeded 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.
Note When you cancel a job, the MFP immediately starts
overwriting the data that has been already stored in the SSD.
Encryption
The MFP stores 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.
