1. Getting Started Enhanced Security This machine's security function can be enhanced through the management of the machine and its users using the improved authentication functions. By specifying access limits on the machine's functions and the documents and data stored in the machine, you can prevent information leaks and unauthorized access. Data encryption can prevent unauthorized data access and tampering via the network. ❖ Authentication and Access Limits Using authentication, administrators manage the machine and its users. To enable authentication, information about both administrators and users must be registered in order to authenticate users via their login user names and passwords.
