Preventing Unauthorized Access

6FR8-003

This section describes the security measures on how to prevent unauthorized access from the external network. This is a must-read for all users and administrators before using this machine, other printers, and multifunction machines connected to the network. In recent years, a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network can offer you a variety of useful functions, such as printing from a computer, operating from a computer using the remote function, and sending scanned documents via the Internet. On the other hand, it is essential to take security measures to reduce the security risk for information leakage, as a printer/multifunction machine has become more exposed to threats, such as unauthorized access and theft, when it is connected to the network. This section explains necessary settings you need to specify to prevent unauthorized access before using a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network.

Security Measures to Prevent Unauthorized Access from the External Network

Assigning a Private IP Address(P. 5)

Using Firewall to Restrict Transmission(P. 6)

Specifying the TLS Encrypted Communication (P. 6)

Setting PIN to Manage Information Stored in the Multifunction Machine(P. 6)

Assigning a Private IP Address

An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device participating in a computer network. A "global IP address" is used for the communication connecting to the Internet, and a "private IP address" is used for the communication within a local area network, such as a LAN in the company. If a global IP address is assigned, your printer/ multifunction machine is open to the public and can be accessed via the Internet. Thus, the risk of information leakage due to unauthorized access from external network increases. On the other hand, if a private IP address is assigned, your printer/multifunction machine is closed to a local area network and can be accessed by only users on your local area network, such as a LAN in the company.

Global IP Address	Private IP Address
Can be accessed from the external network	Can be accessed from the users within a local area network

Basically, assign a private IP address to your printer/multifunction machine. Make sure to confirm the IP address, assigned to the printer/multifunction machine you are using, is a private IP address or not. A private IP address is found in one of the following ranges.

Ranges for Private IP addresses

●From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

●From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

●From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

For information on how to confirm the IP address, see Setting IPv4 Address(P. 29) .

●If a global IP address is assigned to a printer/multifunction machine, you can create a network environment to reduce the risk of unauthorized access by installing security software, such as a firew ll that prevents

Setting Up

access from the external networks. If you want to assign a global IP address to and use a printer/ multifunction machine, contact your network administrator.

Using Firewall to Restrict Transmission

A firew ll is a system that prevents unauthorized access from the external networks and protects against attacks/ intrusions to a local area network. You can use a firew ll on your network environment to block access from the external network that appears to be dangerous, by restricting communication from specified IP address of the external network. The function installed to a Canon printer/multifunction machine enables you to set up the IP address filter. For information on how to set up an IP address filter, see Specifying IP Addresses for Firewall Settings(P. 201) .

Specifying the TLS Encrypted Communication

For information on the TLS Encrypted Communication, see onfigur ng the Network Security Settings(P. 198) , and on the procedures to specify, see onfigur ng the Key and ert fic te for TLS(P. 210) .

Setting PIN to Manage Information Stored in the Multifunction Machine

If a malicious third party attempts to gain unauthorized access to a printer/multifunction machine, setting PIN to information stored in the machine will reduce the risk of information leakage. Canon printers/multifunction machines enable you to protect various type of information by setting PIN.

Setting PIN to Each Function

●Setting PIN for Using Remote UI

For more information, see Setting a Remote UI PIN(P. 196) .

●Setting PIN for the System Manager Settings

For more information, see Setting the System Manager ID and PIN(P. 188) .

Listed above are some examples of security measures for preventing unauthorized access. For more information on the other security measures, see Managing the Machine(P. 185) and take necessary security measures for preventing unauthorized access to suit your environment.

Setting Up

Setting Up Using the Setup Guide

6FR8-004

When the machine is turned on ( Turning ON the Machine(P. 83) ) for the first time, the Setup Guide starts up to assist you to configure the initial settings of the machine by following the on-screen guidance. In the Setup Guide, the setting screens are displayed in the following order.

●If you select <No>, the System Manager ID and PIN are not changed from the default settings, and the Setup Guide proceeds to number 4 in this step.

Specify the System Manager ID and PIN.

●Specify the <System Manager ID> <System Manager PIN>.

●Enter numbers for each item, and select <Apply>.

●The Confirm screen is displayed. Enter the PIN once again to confirm.

● Do not forget your PIN.

Setting Up

●You cannot register an ID or PIN that consists only of zeros, such as "00" or "0000000."

4Select <Yes>.

●If you select <No>, a Remote UI Access PIN is not set, and the Setup Guide proceeds to step 4.

5Specify the Remote UI Access PIN.

●Enter a PIN, and select <Apply>.

●The Confirm screen is displayed. Enter the PIN once again to confirm.

●Do not forget your PIN.

●You cannot register a PIN that consists only of zeros, such as "00" or "0000000."

Connecting to a Wireless LAN

6FR8-009

Wireless routers (or access points) connect the machine to a computer via radio waves. If your wireless router is equipped with Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), configuring your network is automatic and easy. If your networking devices do not support automatic configur tion, or if you want to specify authentication and encryption settings in detail, you need to manually set up the connection. Make sure that your computer is correctly connected to the network.

Risk of information leak

●Use wireless LAN connection at your own discretion and at your own risk. If the machine is connected to an unsecured network, your personal information might be leaked to a third party because radio waves used in wireless communication can go anywhere nearby, even beyond walls.

Wireless LAN security

●The wireless LAN function of this machine supports WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK. For the wireless security compatibility of your wireless router, see the instruction manuals for your networking devices or contact your manufacturer.

Required devices for wireless LAN connection

● The machine does not come with a wireless router. Have the router ready as necessary.

Setting Up Connection Using WPS

When using WPS, two modes are available: push button mode and PIN code mode.

Push Button Mode

Find the WPS mark shown below on the package of your wireless router. Also make sure that there is a WPS button on your networking device. Setting Up Connection Using WPS Push Button Mode(P. 17)
