What You Can Do with This Machine
• You can limit the usage of functions for each user.
• See Security Guide.
Centrally Controlling Scan Conditions and Distribution
You can use the distributed scan management (DSM) system in Windows Server 2008 R2/2012 to
manage the destinations and scan settings for each individual user in a group and to use the information
when distributing scanned data.
You can also use this system to centrally manage information about people using the network and the
machine's scanner functions. Both delivered files and user information can be controlled.
• You must set up and configure a Windows server to use the distributed scan management system.
This system is supported by Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.
• For details about how to deliver files using the distributed scan management system, see
"Managing Scan Conditions and Other Settings in the Block Using Distributed Scan Management",
Scan.
Monitoring and Setting the Machine Using a Computer

CJQ609
CUM003
1. What You Can Do with This Machine
You can check which tray is running out of paper, register information in the Address Book, specify the
network settings, configure and change the system settings, manage jobs, print the job history, and
configure the authentication settings.
• See "Using Web Image Monitor", Connecting the Machine/ System Settings.
• See Web Image Monitor Help.
Preventing Unauthorized Copying
You can print embedded patterns on printouts to prevent unauthorized copying.
26
What You Can Do with This Machine
• Using the copier function or the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in the printed document. If
the document is copied on a machine with witch the Copy Data Security unitfunction is enabled,
protected pages are grayed out in the copy. This can minimize the risk of confidential information
being copied. Protected fax messages are grayed out before being transmitted or stored. If a
document protected by unauthorized copy guard is copied on a machine that is equipped with
witch the Copy Data Security unitfunction is enabled, the machine beeps to notify users that
unauthorized copying is being attempted. If the document is copied on a machine without witch the
Copy Data Security Unitfunction is disabled, the hidden text becomes conspicuous in the copy,
showing that the copy is unauthorized.
• Using the copier function or the printer driver, you can embed text in the printed document for
unauthorized copy prevention. If the document is copied, scanned, or stored in a Document Server
by a copier or multifunction printer, the embedded text appears conspicuous in the copy,
discouraging such unauthorized copying.
• For details, see Security Guide.
• For details, see the printer driver Help.
• For details about this function in the copier mode, see "Preventing Unauthorized Copies", Copy/
Document Server.
• For details about this function in the printer mode, see "Printing Documents That Are Not Authorized
