• As a general rule, Ricoh assigns relatively restricted access privileges to Type 2 applications.
These applications are normally prohibited from performing operations such as file storage to
MFP/LP media or opening and closing sockets to communicate over the network. Vendors who
wish to utilize such functions must make this request to Ricoh when applying for the digital
signature. After having fully ascertained all relevant details on the proposed SDK application,
including the Vendor’s specific purpose for using the application on the MFP/LP in question, and
having determined that the application poses no security threat to the MFP/LP, Ricoh approves the
application and assigns the appropriate access level.
Prevention of Access to Address Book Data and Machine Management Data
• Regardless of the access level granted by Ricoh, SDK applications are not able to access Address
Book data, internal log data or machine settings stored in the NV-RAM. It is therefore not possible
for the SDK application to perform any operations whatsoever on this data, such as making
unauthorized copies of the data, transmitting it over the network or saving it to an SD card or other
media.
