Introduction
The AR-FR11 adds a security function to the SHARP Digital Laser Copier/Printer. When the
copy function, printer function, network scanner function, or fax function of a SHARP Digital
Laser Copier/Printer with the security function is used, the image data that is generated for
the job is encrypted, and when the job is finished, the encrypted data is immediately erased
from memory and the hard disk.
Note:
To ensure that the data security function of the machine provides maximum security,
observe the following:
●The key operator plays an important role in maintaining security. Exercise appropriate
care in selecting the person that will assume the job of key operator.
●Be sure to change the key operator code immediately each time a new person takes over
as key operator.
●Change the key operator code on a regular basis (at least once every 60 days).
●During the procedure for changing the key operator code, the current key operator code
and new key operator code appear in the display. Be sure to complete the procedure
promptly.
●Do not select a number for the key operator code that can be easily guessed.
●The key operator programs are very important for security management. The
administrator of the machine should inform users that they are not to access the key
operator programs without permission.
●If the administrator and users of the machine are to be out of the office, security measures
such as locking the machine should be taken to prevent unauthorized access.
●The customer bears responsibility for control of copies of documents made on the
machine and faxes received on the machine.
●Even when the data security kit is installed, note that fax data in the public memory box
used by the facsimile expansion kit (AR-FX8) can be read.

■Backing up and clearing data stored with the document filing
function
When the data security kit is installed, data previously stored in the machine with the
document filing function is cleared. For this reason, any data that you need to keep is
copied to a computer before the data security kit is installed, and then returned to the
machine after installation and clearing of the previous data. (This work is normally
performed by a service technician at the time of installation.)
NOTE
Some of the procedures for operating the machine change when the data security kit is
installed. The "OPERATION MANUAL (for general information and copier operation)"
explains the procedures for operating the machine when the data security kit is not
installed. This manual explains the changes to those procedures when the data security
kit is installed.

When the data security kit is installed
When the data security kit is installed, the following icon
appears on the touch panel. Touch the icon ( ) to view
information on the data security kit version.
When the data security kit is installed, data remaining in the machine is automatically
erased after each copy and fax job.
When data clearing begins, the following message appears for 6 seconds*.
* The duration of the message display can
be changed with the key operator
program, "MESSAGE TIME SETTING".
(See page 10 of the key operator's guide.)
Restrictions on tandem copying and tandem printing
Tandem copying and tandem printing operate as shown below based on the configuration
of the server machine and client machine (whether or not the data security kit is installed).
NOTE
If the machine power is turned off while image data is being cleared from the hard disk
drive or before jobs are finished, the data may not be completely erased. If you do not
wish to leave partially cleared data when the power is turned off, it is recommended that
you use the key operator program, "CLEAR ALL MEMORY" (page 6 of this manual), to
complete data clearing before turning off the power.

Security settings in the Web page
When the machine is used as a network printer and the Pull Print function is used, the data
security kit enables authentication of the user by means of a "USER NAME" and
"PASSWORD". (The Pull Print function allows a file on a previously stored FTP server to be
printed directly from the operation panel of the machine without using the printer driver; see
"Directly printing a file on an FTP server" on page 3-9 of the "OPERATION MANUAL (for
printer)".)
User authentication is enabled by selecting the "Enable User Authentication" checkbox in
the machine's Web page for Pull Print function settings. (This checkbox appears when the
data security kit is installed, and is initially selected (a checkmark appears)).
System requirements and the procedure for accessing the Web page containing this
checkbox are explained in "REMOTE OPERATION VIA A NETWORK" on page 3-2 of the
"OPERATION MANUAL (for printer)". The checkbox appears in the screen shown in step 2
of "■ Storing an FTP server" on page 3-9 of the "OPERATION MANUAL (for printer)".
■
■■
■Procedure for directly printing a file on an FTP server when
user authentication is enabled
Your user name and password must be entered following selection of the FTP server
that contains the file to be printed from the touch panel of the machine.
When the FTP server is selected in step 3 of "■ Printing a file on an FTP server from the
operation panel of the machine" on page 3-9 of the "OPERATION MANUAL (for
printer)", a screen will appear prompting you to enter your user name and password for
the FTP server.
Press the [USER NAME] key to enter your user name and the [PASSWORD] key to
enter your password. A letter entry screen will appear in each case. When you have
finished entering your user name/password, touch the [OK] key.
After entering your user name and password, continue from step 4 on page 3-10 of the
"OPERATION MANUAL (for printer)".
About transfer of copied data to the machine
When the data security kit is installed and the Web page is used to copy data stored with
the document filing function to a computer (page 3-4 of the "OPERATION MANUAL (for
printer)"), the copied data can only be transferred back to the original machine from which it
was copied; it cannot be transferred to another machine even if the machine conditions are
the same.

"NUMBER OF TIMES POWER UP AUTO CLEAR PROGRAM IS REPEATED", and
"NUMBER OF TIMES AUTO CLEAR AT JOB END PROGRAM IS REPEATED" that are
suitable for your security needs and conditions of use.

10
DISABLING OF PRINT JOBS OTHER THAN PRINT HOLD JOB
If a printed document is left on an output tray after being printed in printer mode, it is
possible that another person might take the document and leak sensitive information. This
program is used to disable all print jobs other than print jobs that require printing to be
initiated from the operation panel of the machine. To enable this program, select the
checkbox. To print a job when this program is enabled, select "Hold Only" in the "Retention"
field of the printer driver and then execute the print command. To begin printing, call up the
file from the operation panel of the machine using the document filing function as explained
in "CALLING UP AND USING A FILE" (page 7-13 of the "OPERATION MANUAL (for
general information and copier operation)". If "Hold After Print" or "Sample Print" is selected
before executing the print command, printing will not take place. However, the job will be
held in the machine and can be printed from the operation panel using "JOB SETTINGS" of
the document filing function in the same way as a "Hold Only" job.
JOB STATUS JOBS COMPLETED LIST DISPLAY SETTINGS
This program is used to select whether or not the JOBS COMPLETED list is displayed in
the job status screen of the touch panel (page 1-14 of the "OPERATION MANUAL (for
general information and copier operation)"). (The setting can be selected separately for
"PRINT JOB", "E-MAIL/FTP", "FAX JOB", and "INTERNET-FAX" modes.) The JOBS
COMPLETED list stores and displays printer mode user names, fax/image send
destinations, and received fax sender information. If you do not wish to display this
information for security reasons, use this program to disable display of the list.
To display the JOBS COMPLETED list in a mode, touch the checkbox of the mode so that a
checkmark appears. To disable display of the list, remove the checkmark from the
checkbox.
DISABLING OF FAX NUMBER DIRECT ENTRY
When the fax function is enabled, this program is used to prohibit dialing of a destination fax
number by direct entry with the numeric keys. To prohibit dialing by direct entry with the
numeric keys, touch the checkbox to select it. When this is done, faxes can only be sent to
destinations that have been stored, and thus this program can be used to restrict fax
destinations and prevent accidental transmission to an incorrect number. The following
operations are also prohibited:
●Storing one-touch dial numbers
●Direct entry of fax numbers when storing a group
●Direct entry of fax numbers of relay destinations in a relay broadcast memory box

11
DISABLING RESEND KEY
When the fax or network scanner function is enabled, this program is used to disable
display of the [RESEND] key, which is used to transmit to the last destination transmitted to.
To disable display of the [RESEND] key, touch the checkbox so that a checkmark appears.
When the [RESEND] key is disabled, it will not appear in the main screens of fax mode and
scanner mode (page 1-4 of the Facsimile Expansion Kit AR-FX8 manual and page 9 of the
"OPERATION MANUAL (for network scanner)"). (Normally the key appears in these
screens.)
PRODUCT KEY
To initially enable the security function, you must use a key operator program to enter the
product key (password). The name of the key operator program used for this purpose is
"DATA SECURITY KIT". Please ask your dealer for the product key. (See page 13 of the
key operator's guide for the procedure for using this program.)
