7.1 – Canon Security Recommendations Quick Reference

The following actions are recommended by Canon as appropriate first steps in securing the Canon

imageRUNNER or imagePRESS device for most environments. While these suggestions assist in

enhancing device security, internal company security policies should ultimately dictate which security

measures are appropriate for implementation within a specific environment.

1. Set the system administrator ID and password

2. Disable unused ports and applications (e.g. FTP, RUI)

3. Set passwords for MailBoxes

4. Restrict printing and RUI access to specific IP or MAC addresses

5. Set passwords for Address Book management

6. Change the SNMP community strings

7. Disable the USB port if unused

8. Utilize Optional Hard Disk Drive Erase Kit or Hard Disk Drive Encryption Kit to ensure integrity

of data stored on internal imageRUNNER/imagePRESS Hard Disk Drives

9. Enable and configure Department ID to manage user device access permissions on a

departmental or user level

10. Monitor the devices using imageWARE EMC
