In today’s digital age, protecting sensitive information is more important than ever, and Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE series of multifunction printers/copiers (MFPs) are designed with this in mind. These devices offer robust security features to ensure that your data is protected at every stage of its lifecycle.

1. User Authentication:
Canon’s MFPs support a variety of authentication methods, including user IDs, PIN codes, and even biometric options. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access the device’s functions, preventing unauthorized use.

2. Data Encryption:
Data is encrypted during transmission and storage, reducing the risk of interception or breaches. This is especially critical for businesses handling sensitive or confidential information.

3. Secure Print and Mailbox:
The Secure Print feature allows users to send documents to the printer but delays printing until they are physically at the device and authenticate themselves. This ensures that confidential documents aren’t left unattended in the output tray. The Mailbox feature stores documents in a secure digital mailbox on the device, accessible only by authorized users.

4. Hard Drive Security:
Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices come with a standard HDD overwrite function, which automatically overwrites data after use, ensuring that no remnants of documents are left behind. Additionally, the optional HDD encryption adds another layer of protection to your stored data.

5. Network Security:
With features like IP/MAC address filtering and secure network protocols (like IPsec), these MFPs can be integrated into your network without compromising its security. Canon also supports SSL for secure communications and provides network management tools for continuous monitoring and control.

6. Device and Fleet Management:
Canon’s security solutions extend across your entire fleet of devices, allowing IT administrators to implement uniform security policies, track device usage, and ensure compliance with industry standards.

7. Document Security:
With Canon’s secure watermarking, you can deter unauthorized copying, scanning, or distribution of sensitive documents. If a document is duplicated, the watermark becomes visible, making it easier to trace and identify unauthorized copies.

Canon’s imageRUNNER ADVANCE series not only enhances productivity and workflow but also provides advanced security features that are essential for modern businesses. By integrating these MFPs into your office environment, you’re not just investing in a multifunctional device but also in the security of your company’s critical information.
