Introduction
The MX-FR43U adds a security function to the SHARP Digital Full Color Multifunctional
System.
When the copy, printer of a SHARP Digital Full Color Multifunctional System with the security
function is used, image data generated in each job is encrypted, and when the job is finished, the
encrypted data is immediately erased from the memory and 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 setting mode (administrator) are very important for security management. If you
leave the machine when using the setting mode (administrator), be sure to tap the
[Logout] key to quit the setting mode (administrator). The administrator of the machine
should inform users that they are not to access the setting mode (administrator)
without permission.
● The customer bears responsibility for control of copies of documents made on the
machine on the machine.

■ Backing up and clearing data stored with the document filing
function
When the data security kit is installed, data previously stored in the machine with the
document filing 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 by a service technician at the time of installation of the data security kit.)
Only confidential folders can be used to return data from a computer to the machine after
installation of the data security kit. Before returning data from a computer to the
machine, create confidential folders if needed.

■ 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 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 12 of this manual), to complete data clearing before turning off the power.
Security settings of the data security kit
When the data security kit is installed, settings to enhance security of the machine can be
added. See "Security settings" (page 10 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, copies are printed.
The embedded document control pattern prevents secondary copying and other operations
of a printed document. For more information, see "Document Control Setting" (page 20 of
this manual).
Document Filing
To use the document filing function to store jobs in the machine when the data security kit is
installed, set the file property to "Confidential".
Files set to the "Sharing" or "Protect" properties cannot be stored. In addition, to print from a
computer using the retention function, enter a password in the printer driver settings (when
the factory default setting is in effect).

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

■ Confidential folders and confidential files of the document
filing function
If an incorrect password is entered 3 times in a row for a specific confidential folder or
file, the folder or file will be locked. To unlock the folder or file, use "Release Lock on File/
Folder Operation" (page 19 of this manual).
● All files with the same user name and password can be printed at once using
the Batch Print feature of the document filing function.
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] in so far as is possible.
● When the use of a file is prohibited, the following will apply when the document
filing function is used:
● When batch print is performed, a prohibited file will not be printed even if it
matches the search conditions.
■ File search screen of document filing
When the data security kit is installed, the password entry setting will not appear in the
document filing search screen.
■ Encrypted PDF
When a job is printed by encrypted PDF direct printing, the job will appear in the spool
queue of the job status screen and a password must be entered to begin printing.
If an incorrect password is entered 3 times in a row when the data security kit installed,
the message "Operation is disabled. Please see your administrator for your assistance."
will be displayed for 6 seconds and printing will be locked.
If you tap a file in the spool screen for which an incorrect password was entered 3 times,
the message "The print of this job is disabled. Delete the job?" will appear.
●
Tap the [Yes] button to delete the print job.
●Tap the [No] button to cancel deletion of the print job.
To unlock the print job, use "Release Lock on File/Folder Operation" (page 19 of this
manual).
■ 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.

When the data security kit is installed
■ Login when user authentication is enabled
When "User Authentication" in the setting mode (administrator) is enabled, login is
required in the login screen before the machine can be used. When "A Warning when
Login Fails" (Settings (Administrator) > "User Control" > "Default Settings") is enabled,
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.

When the data security kit is installed
Security Settings in the FTP Pull Print Function
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.)
User authentication is enabled by selecting the [Enable User Authentication] checkbox on
the machine for configuring FTP Pull Print settings. This checkbox appears when the data
security kit is installed, and is initially selected (a checkmark appears).
■
Procedure for directly printing a file on an FTP server (when
user authentication is enabled)
Your user name and password must be entered following selection of the FTP server
that contains the file to be printed from the touch panel of the machine.
When the FTP server is selected in step 3 of "DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP
SERVER" in "PRINTER" in the User's Manual (PC), a screen will appear prompting you
to enter your user name and password for the FTP server.
Tap the [User Name] key to enter your user name and the [Password] key to enter your
password. A letter entry screen will appear in each case.
When you have finished entering your user name/password, tap the [OK] key.
After entering your user name and password, continue from step 4 of "DIRECTLY
PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER" in "PRINTER" in the User's Manual (PC).
Transferring copied data
When the data security kit is installed and the Web pages are used to copy data stored with
the document filing function to a computer, the copied data can only be transferred back to
the original machine from which it was copied.
The data cannot be transferred to another machine even if the machine conditions are the
same.
The [Restore from PC] key will only appear on the Web page and transfer of data back to
the machine will only be possible when a confidential folder is selected.
