White Paper: Canon imageRUNNER/imagePRESS Security
2.2 – Network Security
Network and Print Security (Canon Network Printer Kit Only)
Canon imageRUNNER/imagePRESS devices include a number of highly configurable network security
features that assist in securing information when the optional Network Print Kit is installed. Standard
network security features include the ability to permit only authorized users and groups to access and
print to the device, limiting device communications to designated IP/MAC addresses, and controlling
the availability of individual network protocols and ports as desired.
Enabling/Disabling Protocols/Applications
Through Canon’s device setup and installation utilities, network administrators are provided
with the ability to configure the specific device protocols and service ports that are accessible.
As a result, unwanted device communication and system access via specific transport
protocols can be effectively blocked.
The imageRUNNER/imagePRESS devices have the ability to disable unused TCP/IP ports to
further secure the devices. Disabling ports affects the available functions and applications on
the device. Configurable ports include:
* Used ports and default port settings may vary per model. Please consult your device manuals or contact your service technician
for additional details.
