About The Security Kit
The copy machine temporarily stores the original document read as electronic
data onto an internal hard disk. Copies are made using this data. After a copy
is made, the data is no longer recognized by the copy machine, yet remains
stored on the copy machine's hard disk until it is overwritten by other data.
Because of this process, specialized tools could be illicitly used to directly read
the hard disk area and recover old data. The Security Kit overwrites old data,
and rewrites the entire data storage area to ensure that data cannot be
recovered.
The Security Kit secures data on the copy machine’s internal hard drive, but
does not protect any other kind of data (data sent to the computer, etc.).
Additionally, if even one of the conditions necessary for the operation of the
Security Kit as described below is not met, the security of such an environment
could be compromised.
