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.

■ 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.

.
If the machine power is turned off while image data is being cleared from the
hard disk drive or before a job is finished, the data may not be completely
erased. If you do not wish to leave partially cleared data when the power is
turned off, it is recommended that you use the program "Clear All Memory"
(page 11 of this manual), to complete data clearing before turning off the power.
System settings of the data security kit
When the data security kit is installed, settings to enhance security can be added to the
system settings (administrator) of the machine. See "System settings" (page 9 of this
manual) for details.
Document control function
The document control function is used to embed a document control pattern on the paper
when print jobs are printed.
The embedded document control pattern prevents secondary copying, faxing and other
operations of a printed document. For more information, see "Document Control Setting"
(page 19 of this manual).
Print hold
To use the print hold function to store jobs in the machine when the data security kit is
installed, enter a password in the printer driver settings (when the factory default setting is in
effect).
Files whose property is set to "Sharing" cannot be stored.

When the data security kit is installed
Authority group registration screen
When the data security kit is installed, [Security] is added to the "Authority Group
Registration" menu screen in the Web page (administrator). This screen is displayed by
selecting "User Control" > "Authority Group List".
When this item is selected, the following screen appears.
● Print Hold Approval Setting
When storing an authority group for user authentication, select whether or not print hold
is allowed.
To enable a filing mode, select the checkbox of the mode.
● Print Jobs Other than Print Hold Job

group registration when user authentication is enabled.
Print hold must be allowed in the following settings.
By default, print hold is only allowed in confidential mode.
● Allow print hold in authority group registration (this setting)
● Setting for Print-Hold Disabling in the system settings (page 16 of this manual)
Protecting passwords
When the data security kit is installed, passwords entered from the operation panel of the
machine or the Web pages can be protected.
■ Administrator Password/User Password
When the data security kit is installed, password entry will be locked for 5 minutes if an
incorrect administrator password is entered 3 times in a row when the user
authentication function is not enabled, or if an incorrect user password is entered 3 times
in a row when the user authentication function is enabled.

■ Confidential files of the print hold function
If an incorrect password is entered 3 times in a row for a specific confidential file, the file
will be locked. To unlock the file, use "Release Lock on Print-Hold Data Manipulation"
(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.

When the data security kit is installed
■ FTP Pull Print
When the FTP Pull Print function is used to directly print a file on an FTP server, a "User
Name" and "Password" must be entered when the FTP server is selected. When the
data security kit is installed, entry will be locked for 5 minutes if an incorrect "User Name"
or "Password" is entered 3 times in a row.
■ Login when user authentication is enabled
When "User Authentication Settings" in the Web page (administrator) ("USER
AUTHENTICATION" in the Quick Start Guide) is enabled, login is required in the login
screen before the machine can be used. When "A Warning when Login Fails" is enabled
in the Web page (administrator), the machine will lock for 5 minutes if login fails 3 times
in a row.
The "A Warning when Login Fails" setting is always enabled when the data security kit
installed.
☞
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
"ACCESSING THE WEB SERVER IN THE MACHINE" in the Quick Start Guide.
