Introduction
The data security kit adds a security function to the SHARP Digital Full Color Printer/
SHARP Laser Printer.
When the printer function of a SHARP Digital Full
security function is used, the image data that is generated for the job is encrypted, and when the
job is finished, the encrypted data is immediately erased from memory and the hard disk.
■ Note:
To ensure that the data security function of the machine provides maximum security,
observe the following:
● The administrator plays an important role in maintaining security. Exercise appropriate
care in selecting the person that will assume the job of administrator.
● Be sure to change the administrator password immediately each time a new person
takes over as administrator.
● Change the administrator
● Do not select a password that can be easily guessed for the administrator
● The system settings (administrator) are very important for security management. If
you leave the machine when using the system settings (administrator), be sure to
press the [Logout] key ( ) to quit the system settings (administrator). The
administrator of the machine should inform users that they are not to access the
system settings (administrator) without permission.
● The customer bears responsibility for control of documents printed on the machine.

■ Backing up and clearing data stored with the print hold
function
When the data security kit is installed, data previously stored in the machine with the
print hold function is cleared. For this reason, any data that you need to keep is copied to
a computer before the data security kit is installed, and then returned to the machine
after installation and clearing of the previous data. (This work is normally performed at
the time of installation of the data security kit.)
Only confidential files can be used to return data from a computer to the machine after
installation of the data security kit. For the procedure for storing data on a computer and
returning data from a computer to the machine, see help in the Web pages of the
machine.
2
■ About passwords for the Web page
If an incorrect "users" or "admin" password is entered 3 times in a row when attempting
to access the Web pages of a machine that has the data security kit installed, access to
pages that require entry of the "users" or "admin" password will be prohibited for 5
minutes.
Some of the procedures for operating the machine change when the data
security kit is installed. The manuals for the machine ( "OPERATION
MANUALS AND HOW TO USE THEM" in the Quick Start Guide) explain the
procedures for operating the machine when data security kit is not installed. This
manual explains the changes to those procedures when the data security kit is
installed.

(page 18 of this manual).
● All files with the same user name and password can be printed at once using
the Batch Print feature of the print hold function ( Operation Guide
"BATCH PRINTING" in "2. PRINTING".)
Files that have a password different from the password that was entered at the
time of the search will be treated as files for which an incorrect password was
entered. For this reason, it is recommended that you avoid executing searches
using [All Users] and [User Unknown] as much as possible.
● When the use of a file is prohibited, the following will apply when the print hold
function is used:
● When batch print is performed, a prohibited file will not be printed even if it
matches the search conditions.

☞
Security Settings in the Web pages
When the machine is used as a network printer and the FTP Pull Print function is used, the
data security kit enables authentication of the user by means of a "User Name" and
"Password" for the FTP server. (The Pull Print function allows a file on a previously stored
FTP server to be printed directly from the operation panel of the machine without using the
printer driver; see Operation Guide "DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER" in
"2. PRINTING".)
User authentication is enabled by selecting the [Enable User Authentication] checkbox on
the machine's Web page for configuring FTP Pull Print settings. This checkbox appears
when the data security kit is installed, and is initially selected (a checkmark appears).
System requirements and the procedure for accessing the Web pages are explained in

paper on which print jobs are printed.
■
Pages on which a document control pattern is printed
●
The document control pattern is printed on all pages output by a Sharp machine that has the
document control function, including the back side of pages printed by 2-sided printing.
● When a blank page is output because an odd number of pages were printed by 2-sided
printing, a document control pattern will not be printed on the blank page.
After enabling the document control function in the system settings, follow these steps to
use the function.
■ Using the document control function
● When [Always Print] is enabled in [Document Control Print Select] in the system
settings, a document control pattern is always printed.
●
If [Allow User to Select] is enabled, follow the procedure below to print a document control
pattern.
Step 1: Select the [Data Security Kit] checkbox in the initial settings screen
(properties screen) of the printer driver.

■ Using the document control function when printing a stored
file or for directly printing
