SmartDeviceMonitor (for Admin*), Password Protection of Stored Documents, Change Community Name

Page 19 highlights

SmartDeviceMonitor (for Admin*) SmartDeviceMonitor is utility software bundled with all printers, print-enabled MFPs and the Printer/Scanner Kit options. This versatile software suite simplifies all aspects of installation, monitoring and management of network output systems, while supporting key security features. ■ Change Community Name To address SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) vulnerability, the system administrator can change the Community Name of hardware devices from "Public" to another more secure name. If this security measure is taken, the Community Name (for the software) must have the identical name as the connected output device. ■ Restrict User Access System administrators can control user privileges through the User Management Tool. This activates a menu for review of the peripherals authorized for use by User Code and User Name. All supported peripherals on the network are listed, and a simple click on the device, accesses a menu that restricts or enables access to the device for individual users. *Note: SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin resides on the client desktop and allows users to determine the status and availability of networked peripherals. Once installed, an icon is placed on each user's desktop in the Windows Taskbar, which shows system status at a glance. Password Protection of Stored Documents Any Ricoh device equipped with document storage capabilities can password-protect stored files. Users can set a password between 4 - 8 digits directly at the control panel to prevent other users from viewing, printing, or sending the file. In Ricoh MFPs equipped with Preview capabilities (pictured at right) documents assigned a password display a key icon instead of an image of the first page of the document to preserve confidentiality. 16

SmartDeviceMonitor (for Admin*)
SmartDeviceMonitor is utility software bundled with all printers, print-enabled MFPs and the
Printer/Scanner Kit options. This versatile software suite simplifies all aspects of installation, monitoring
and management of network output systems, while supporting key security features.
Change Community Name
To address SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) vulnerability, the system administrator can
change the Community Name of hardware devices from “Public” to another more secure name. If this
security measure is taken, the Community Name (for the software) must have the identical name as
the connected output device.
Restrict User Access
System administrators can control user privileges through the User Management Tool. This activates a
menu for review of the peripherals authorized for use by User Code and User Name. All supported
peripherals on the network are listed, and a simple click on the device, accesses a menu that
restricts or enables access to the device for individual users.
*Note: SmartDeviceMonitor for Admin resides on the client desktop and allows users to determine the status and avail-
ability of networked peripherals. Once installed, an icon is placed on each user’s desktop in the Windows Taskbar, which
shows system status at a glance.
Password Protection of Stored Documents
Any Ricoh device equipped with document storage
capabilities can password-protect stored files. Users
can set a password between 4 – 8 digits directly at
the control panel to prevent other users from viewing,
printing, or sending the file. In Ricoh MFPs equipped
with Preview capabilities (pictured at right)
documents assigned a password display a key icon
instead of an image of the first page of the document
to preserve confidentiality.
