Data Encryption
Allows you to select whether or not to encrypt data recorded on the hard disk of the
machine.
When you enable data encryption, the machine encrypts automatically copy, scan, or print
data written to the hard disk. You cannot select whether or not to encrypt by feature. This
prevents unauthorized access to the stored data. To activate this feature, set an encryption
key.
Note • An optional component is required to use this feature. For more information, contact our Customer
Support Center.

îš„ Starting the Data Encryption and Changing Settings
When you change the Data Encryption setting or the encryption key, you must restart the
machine. When the machine reboots, the machine initializes part of the disk area. The
previous data is not secured.
The disk area stores the following data.
- Spooled print data
- Print data including Secure Print and Sample Set
- Forms for the Form Overlay feature
- Folder and job flow sheet settings (folder name, passcode, etc.)
- Files in folders
- Address book data
Important • Be sure to save all necessary settings and files before using data encryption or changing any
settings.
• Make sure that the hard disk and encryption settings match. Otherwise, an error will occur. For
information on error messages and their remedies, refer to "Other Errors" (P.571).
• The following procedure is recommended for changing the encryption settings while a large amount
of data (100 jobs or more) is stored in a folder, and [Number of Overwrites] is set to [1 Overwrite] or
[3 Overwrites] under [Overwrite Hard Disk].
