Security Functions
The bizhub PRO 1050P/1050eP device has two security modes.
Normal mode
Use this mode if the machine is used by a single person and there is a low possibility
of illicit access and operations. This is the default mode when shipped from the
factory. To use regular mode, please see the user’s guide for each individual
machine.
Security Strengthen mode
Use this mode if the machine is connected to a local area network, or to external
networks through a telephone line or other means. A machine manager manages
the device according to this user’s guide, so that users can have a safe operating
environment.
Your machine manager is the only one who can turn the Security Strengthen mode
ON and OFF, and make other changes, and your service representative will
designate an machine manager.
To turn the Security Strengthen mode ON, the service representative should set a
CE authentication password and Machine Manager password for the device.
The Security Strengthen mode cannot be turned ON when the Machine NIC is
activated. Please contact your service representative when using the Security
Strengthen mode.
Security Strengthen mode is recommended to prevent data from being accessed or
tampered with.
Ask your machine manager if the Security Strengthen mode is turned ON.
Environments in which Security Strengthen mode is recommended
• The device is connected to an local network, the Internet through a firewall, or the
external telephone line for maintenance.
• The device is monitored by a telephone line or a network.
Creating a secure environment
For security, we recommend that supervisors and a machine manager use Security
Strengthen mode and establish an environment as follows.
• Where to set up the device
Set up the device in a place where only designated personnel can operate it.
• User training
The machine manager must provide training and information to users to maintain
the security of the device. Users should keep passwords set up by the machine
manager, and a password that they set up on their own in a secure place.
The machine manager is supposed to give the instructions for relearning the
authentication function to a user when creating a Box for that user, therefore the
user should perform to release the authentication function when machine
operation is completed.
• Qualifications to be a machine manager
A supervisor must select a reliable person who has adequate knowledge, technical
ability, and experience as a machine manager, to whom to delegate administration
of the device.
• Guarantee of service representative (CE)
A supervisor or a machine manager can use Security Strengthen mode after
confirming that a service contract was signed with the service representative (CE).
Clearly state in the service contract that the service representative will not engage
in any fraudulent actions.
• Secure LAN
We recommend that you use an apparatus such as WEP code (802.11x) to
prevent tapping during communication when setting up a local area network.
