Data Security Kit
Digital copiers/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. It also encrypts data stored on the hard disk and in
the address book.
Secure Network Interface Card
The network interface card* provides highly secure operation by restricting access to the
MX-M550U 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-M550U. Attempted
access from an unknown IP or MAC address will be denied, preventing unauthorised use.
* U models require optional MX-NBX1
