government entity to safely deploy digital copying, printing, scanning and faxing.

Advanced account management enables administrators to set authority groups for access to
features of the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series. Administrators can control which
department, for instance, has full access to copying, printing, scanning and/or fax. Walk up users
enter a code, Local Name and Password, or LDAP User Authentication to access their features
assigned to their group. Users can also login utilizing a human interface device (H D) such as a
Smartcard or Common Access Card (CAC).*
Data Erase and Encryption*
To help protect your data, the new MX High-Speed Monochrome Series offers an optional data
security kit that encrypts document data using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) 256-bit
encryption. Additionally, the data security kit erases the temporary memory on the hard drive by
overwriting the encrypted data up to seven times, offering an unprecedented level of assurance.
Additionally, the data security kits for these models comply to the new EEE-2600-2008 security
standard for MFP devices. This new standard specifies security requirements and provides a new
international reference to assess contemporary MFP security.
