Print security—it’s about protecting devices, data, and documents

Protect your devices

• Apply administrative passwords to prevent changes to print device settings and functions.
• Purchase print devices with threat detection and software validation features, so only authorised firmware and software is installed and executed.
• Configure devices according to security best practices, such as closing unused ports and protocols and changing passwords.

Protect your data

• Require user authentication to access device features.
• Ensure print job data is encrypted in transit and at rest on the printer’s mass storage.
• Protect scans with document encryption features and encrypted email.
• Use secure mobile-printing solutions to allow printing from mobile devices.
• Erase sensitive data from hard drives before recycling old products.

Protect your documents

• Activate secure pull printing to store print jobs until the user enters identification at the selected printer.
• Use secure input trays to protect sensitive media, such as paper used to print checks and prescriptions
• Employ anti-counterfeiting solutions, such as security toner, to prevent tampering and alteration of sensitive documents.
