SECURITY
Industry-Leading Multi-Layered Security
With multiple levels of network and data security to cover a wide range of security needs, Sharp’s industry-leading
security solutions protect your business assets and bring peace of mind. The MX-5001N/5000N safeguards sensitive data
with powerful, enhanced security functions that eliminate the worry of unauthorised use and guarantee greater
protection for your confidential information.
Data Security Kit
Digital copier/printers or MFPs can retain hundreds of pages of
confidential information from previous jobs on their hard disks or
internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised
access, the optional
Data Security Kit
automatically
encrypts and
erases the data after
each job is complete
as well as data
stored both on the
hard disk and in the
address book.
Encrypted PDF with Password Protection
To prevent unauthorised viewing of confidential image data, the
MX-5001N/5000N enables users to password protect and encrypt
PDF data. By setting a password when scanning, users can
transmit a PDF over the network in encrypted format. Then, after
transmission,
viewers will only
gain access to the
encrypted PDF
after successfully
re-entering the
chosen password.
Document Control Function
Document Control prevents unauthorised copying, scanning,
faxing, and filing of confidential documents. This is how it works:
the MX-5001N/5000N embeds copy prevention data onto a
document when it is first copied or printed. It will then detect this
data the next time someone tries to make a copy of the
document. Any unauthorised attempts to copy a Document
Controlled-document will simply be cancelled or result in the
output of a blank page.
Note: Requires optional Data Security Kit. May not work for certain types of
documents or paper.
Secure Network Access
The MX-5001N/5000N’s IP/MAC address filtering function
provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the
MX-5001N/5000N on your office network. Only PCs that have
either their IP address or MAC (media
access control) address registered are
allowed to use the MX-5001N/5000N.
Attempted access from an unknown
IP or MAC address will be denied,
preventing unauthorised use. The
MX-5001N/5000N also supports the
IEEE 802.1X standard for port-based
network access control, which blocks
all access from unauthorised devices.
Secure Sockets Layer
SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data
communications to prevent data leakage through the network
when printing via IPP, browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS), or
communicating via e-mail (SMTP and POP3) or FTP (FTPS).
User Authentication
The MX-5001N/5000N prevents unauthorised use by requiring
passwords for machine access. This safeguarded solution can
register up to 1,000 users in three access levels as Administrator,
User, or Guest and can designate to which function user
authentication applies. The MX-5001N/5000N can, for example,
be set to allow B/W copying by all users while restricting colour
copying to designated users. And
the MX-5001N/5000N works with
an external Active Directory
server to extend user authentication
to multiple MFPs and a greater
number of users.
IPv6 and IPsec Support
The MX-5001N/5000N supports IPv6, the next-generation Internet
protocol. An obligatory part of IPv6 is IPsec (IP Security), a set of
protocols for securing Internet protocol (IP) communications. IPsec
encrypts and authenticates traffic between specified parties, giving
IPsec-compatible products an extremely high level of network
security.
