| MULTI-LAYERED SECURITY |
 |
| Digital copier/printers or multifunction products can retain hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous jobs on their internal memory. To safeguard this information from unauthorised access, the optional Data Security Kit automatically erases the data after each job is complete. |
 |
| The AR-M316/M256’s network interface card provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the AR-M316/M256 on your office network. Only PCs that have either their IP address or MAC (media access control) address registered are allowed to use the AR-M316/M256. Attempted access from an unknown IP or MAC address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use. |
| To keep others from seeing confidential documents as they are being printed out, the AR-M316/M256’s Print Hold function stores print data in its memory and withholds output until the user executes a print command from the control panel. For added security, the Confidential Print function requires the user to enter in a PIN (personal identification number) at the machine before printing can begin. |
 |
An auditing mode requires users to enter a five-digit PIN code to gain access to the control panel. This feature also restricts users from printing to the AR-M316/M256.
|
To prevent unauthorised use of network scanning, the AR-M316/M256 supports user authentication, which requires users to log in to the machine before performing any network scanning operations.
|
| A newly introduced SSL (secure sockets layer) enables the encryption of data communications to prevent data leakage through the network when printing via IPP or browsing secure Web pages (HTTPS). |
The AR-M318/M258 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.
