Protecting Data Stored in the Flash Memory

The administrator settings in this machine allow setting or changing the Flash Memory Lock Password that
is used to authenticate the Administrator of the machine.

Should the flash memory be removed unawares, the Flash Memory Lock Password locks the flash memory
protecting data contained in it. The Flash Memory Lock Password entered is displayed as "*."

Note

Set unique password for Flash Memory Lock Password. Do not set any number that can easily guessed
from birthdays, employee identification numbers, and the like for Flash Memory Lock Password.
Change the Flash Memory Lock Password at regular intervals.

Make sure that nobody but the Administrator of the machine comes to know the Flash Memory Lock
Password.

Note

When the Flash Memory Lock Password is set, flash memory verification is carried out when the
machine is started. If the flash memory is illegally replaced with another and the flash memory cannot
be unlocked by the Flash Memory Lock Password, the machine sounds an alert and stops booting
while displaying an hourglass icon on the control panel. If the flash memory does not have the Flash
Memory Lock Password setting, the control panel displays Service Call "SC-D303", a message that
tells there is a mismatch between the flash memory and the Flash Memory Lock Password.

The flash memory has the following function. Even if the flash memory is illegally removed or replaced
with another, detection of a wrong Flash Memory Password five consecutive times will lock the
authentication function. Leak of data can thus be prevented.
