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.
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.

Instructions for General Users (for Both General Users and Administrators)
Note When you cancel a job, the MFP immediately starts
overwriting the data that has been already stored in the SSD.
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.

CAUTION Do not turn the power switch off during overwriting. It
may crash the SSD.
Note If you turn the MFP off at the power switch during
overwriting, data may not be overwritten completely from the
SSD. Turn the MFP back on at the power switch. Overwriting
automatically resumes.

Installing the Security Kit
The Security Kit Contents
The security kit package includes:
• License Certificate
• Installation Guide (for service personnel)
Before Installation
• The system will be initialized during installation of the security kit. This
means that the data stored in the SSD will be all overwritten. Special
attention should be given if you install the security kit on the MFP
currently used.
Installation
Installation of the security kit should be performed by the service
personnel.
The only thing required by the administrator during the installation is to
enter the encryption code.
Encryption Code
An encryption code of 8 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9, A to Z, a to z)
to encrypt data needs to be entered. By default, the code is set 00000000.
As an encryption key is then created from this code, it is safe enough to
continue using the default code.
After Installation
After installing the security kit, you can change the security password.
The changes could be given as required, either at installation or later.
Refer to page 4 for the procedures.
Changing Data Security Functions
Enter the security password to change data security functions.
1Press [System menu/Counter].
2Press or to select System/Network, and then press [OK].
Instructions for Administrators (for Those in Charge of Installation and Operations
of the Security Kit)
CAUTION Be sure to remember the encryption code you entered. If
you need to enter the encryption code again for some reason and
you do not enter the same encryption code, all the data stored on the
SSD will be overwritten as a security precaution.
