SECURITY
Industry-Leading Multi-Layered Security
With multiple levels of network and data security to cover a wide range of security needs, Sharp’s industry-leading
security solutions bring today’s businesses increased confidence and peace of mind. The MX-M450/M350 series safeguards
sensitive data with powerful, enhanced security functions that eliminate the worry of unauthorised use and guarantee
greater protection for your confidential information.
Data Security Kit
Digital copier/printers or multifunction products can retain
hundreds of pages of confidential information from previous jobs
on their hard disks or internal memory. To safeguard this
information from unauthorised access, the optional Data Security
Kit automatically encrypts and erases the data after each job is
complete as well as data stored both on the hard disk and in the
address book.
Print Hold and Confidential Print
To keep others from seeing confidential documents as they are
being printed out, the MX-M450/M350 series’ Print Hold
function* stores print data on its hard disk and withholds output
until the user executes a print command from the control panel.
For added security, the Confidential Print function* requires the
user to enter in a PIN (personal identification number) at the
machine before printing can begin.
* U models require MX-NBX3
Secure Sockets Layer
A newly introduced SSL*
1
(secure sockets layer) enables the
encryption of data communications to prevent data leakage
through the network when printing via IPP, browsing secure Web
pages (HTTPS) or communicating via e-mail (SMTP*
2
and POP3*
2
)
or FTP (FTPS*
2
).
*1: U models require MX-NBX2 or MX-NBX3
*2: Available at a later date
IP/MAC Address Filtering
The MX-M450/M350 series’ network interface card* provides
highly secure operation by restricting access to the MX-M450/
M350 series on your office network. Only PCs that have either
their IP address or MAC (media access control) address
registered are allowed to use the MX-M450/M350 series.
Attempted access from an unknown IP or MAC address will be
denied, preventing unauthorised use.
* U models require optional MX-NBX2 or MX-NBX3
Auditing Mode
Auditing modes can be set individually for each function (copy,
print, scan, fax, document filing), so you can keep track of and
control the amount of use by employee or department. Limitations
can be set for each account and each function.
User Authentication for Network Scanning
To prevent unauthorised use of network scanning, the MX-M450/
M350 series supports user authentication, which requires users to
log in to the machine before performing any network scanning
operations. Four types of user
authentication methods are
provided (Simple, Digest-MD5,
NTLM, and Kerberos).
IPv6 and IPsec Support
The MX-M450/M350 series supports IPv6*, the next-generation
Internet protocol. An obligatory part of IPv6 is IPsec* (IP Security),
a set of protocols for securing Internet protocol (IP)
communications. IPsec encrypts and authenticates traffic between
specified parties, giving IPsec-compatible products an extremely
high level of network security.
* U models require MX-NBX2 or MX-NBX3; IPsec available at a later date
