    							ProtectingtheMachinefromUnauthorizedAccess
    1469-07A
    Prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing and using the machine. You can implement multiple security
    measures, such as using  4rewalls and changing port numbers.

    							PreventingUnauthorizedAccess
    1469-07C
    This section describes the security measures on how to prevent unauthorized access from the external network. This is a must-read for all users and administrators before using this machine, other printers, and multifunction machinesconnected to the network. In recent years, a printer/multifunction machine connected to the network can offer you a
    variety of useful functions, such as printing from a computer, operating from a computer using the remote function,
    and sending scanned documents via the Internet. On the other hand, it is essential to take security measures to
    reduce the security risk for information leakage, as a printer/multifunction machine has become more exposed to
    threats, such as unauthorized access and theft, when it is connected to the network. This section explains necessary
    settings you need to specify to prevent unauthorized access before using a printer/multifunction machine connected
    to the network.

    Assigning a Private IP Address
    An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device participating in a computer network. A "global IP address" is used for the communication connecting to the Internet, and a "private IP address" is used for the communication within a local area network, such as a LAN in the company. If a global IP address is assigned, your printer/
    multifunction machine is open to the public and can be accessed via the Internet. Thus, the risk of information leakage
    due to unauthorized access from external network increases. On the other hand, if a private IP address is assigned, your printer/multifunction machine is closed to a local area network and can be accessed by only users on your localarea network, such as a LAN in the company.
     GlobalIPAddress
    Can be accessed from the external networkPrivateIPAddress
    Can be accessed from the users within a local area network
    Basically, assign a private IP address to your printer/multifunction machine. Make sure to  con4rm the IP address,
    assigned to the printer/multifunction machine you are using, is a private IP address or not. A private IP address is
    found in one of the following ranges.
    RangesforPrivateIPaddresses
    	 From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
    	 From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
    	 From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
    For information on how to  con4rm the IP address, see 
    SettingIPv4Address(P.337) .
    	
    If a global IP address is assigned to a printer/multifunction machine, you can create a network environment
    to reduce the risk of unauthorized access by installing security software, such as a  4rewall that preventsSecurity

    							access from the external networks. If you want to assign a global IP address to and use a printer/multifunction machine, contact your network administrator.
    Using Firewall to Restrict Transmission
    A  4rewall  is a system that prevents unauthorized access from the external networks and protects against attacks/
    intrusions to a local area network. You can use a  4rewall on your network environment to block access from the
    external network that appears to be dangerous, by restricting communication from  speci4ed IP address of the
    external network. The function installed to a Canon printer/multifunction machine enables you to set up the IP
    address  4lter. For information on how to set up an IP address  4lter, see 
    SpecifyingIPAddressesforFirewall
    Rules(P.402) .
    Specifying the TLS Encrypted Communication 
    For information on the TLS Encrypted Communication, see 
    ImplementingRobustSecurityFeatures(P.425) , and
    on the procedures to specify, see 
    EnablingTLSEncryptedCommunicationfortheRemoteUI(P.426) .
    Setting PIN to Manage Information Stored in the Multifunction Machine
    If a malicious third party attempts to gain unauthorized access to a printer/multifunction machine, setting PIN to information stored in the machine will reduce the risk of information leakage. Canon printer/multifunction machine
    enables you to protect various type of information by setting PIN.

    							SettingAccessPrivileges
    1469-07E
    Protect the machine from unauthorized access by only allowing users with access privileges to use the machine. When privileges are set, the user must enter a PIN to change settings or access the Remote UI.
    Access privileges are divided into two types: System Manager Mode and General User Mode. System Manager Modehas full access privileges, and a System Manager PIN can be set to restrict logon in this mode. And by setting a Remote
    UI Access PIN, you can restrict use of the Remote UI in General User Mode and in System Manager Mode without a
    System Manager PIN set.
    SystemManagerPIN
    System Manager PIN is intended exclusively for Administrators having full access privileges. If you specify thisPIN, you need to log on to the machine using this PIN in order to access  or . Set the System Manager PIN when you need different access privilege levels for administrators and general users.
    SettingtheSystemManagerPIN(P.397)

    This is a PIN for using the Remote UI. Only users who know the PIN can access the Remote UI.
