USB Block
USB Block allows the System Administrator to help protect the imageRUNNER/imagePRESS device
against unauthorized access through the built-in USB interface. Access to the imageRUNNER/imagePRESS
through the USB interface for desktop access and the device’s host mode for other USB devices can each
be permitted or disabled.

irus Concerns for Email Reception
For those imageRUNNER / imagePRESS devices with Universal Send capabilities, if an e-mail with an
attached data virus is received, the imageRUNNER/imagePRESS will always discard the virus upon receipt.
Universal Send-enabled devices support POP3 and SMTP as e-mail reception protocols. When data is
received, the e-mail text is separated from any file attachments, and only TIFF image files among the
attached files are printed and transferred.
There are three possible scenarios that are explored:
11.. DDaattaa wwiitthh aa vviirruuss aattttaacchheedd iinn tthhee ee--mmaaiill::
All file attachments except for ‘TIFF” files received in the e-mail are discarded
immediately after reception.
22.. VViirruusseess pprreetteennddiinngg ttoo bbee TTIIFFFF ffiilleess::
TIFF image files are compressed with formats such as MH, MR, and MMR. The
imageRUNNER/imagePRESS device compresses the ‘TIFF’ format at reception and after
regenerating the image encodes the image again. When processed correctly, the original image
is discarded and a new image is created, printed, and transferred. If an error occurs during the
process, the data from the ‘TIFF’ file is not transferred but is discarded, and a message notifying
the user of the error is added to the e-mail text and is printed.
33.. TTeexxtt wwiitthhiinn ee--mmaaiill iiss aa vviirruuss::
E-mail text data gives the Date, From, Message-Id, To, or Subject data written at the top of the
received e-mail for printing and transfer. The e-mail text data is comprised of character strings
(function calls such as fgets() or fprintf()). If binary data such as data with a virus is used in the
e-mail text, the data will be damaged and data with a virus will be discarded. Even if the data
with a virus is visible data with a script format, it is not possible to recognize it as a script
because Date, From, Message-Id, To, or Subject data is attached at the top.
Job Log Data Protection
The job history stored within the imageRUNNER/imagePRESS job log may be considered sensitive
information by some users. The display of the job log data can be turned ON/OFF. The default of the job
log data display is ON.
