Ricoh Aficio Common Security Features Guide RAM-based Security Several low-end digital systems use RAM (Random Access Memory) for document processing tasks, not a hard disk drive. Though a hard drive may be available as an option, there is security benefit to nonHDD equipped systems in that jobs processed through RAM are volatile. This means that when power to the system is turned off, all temporary print data is immediately erased. Without a means to permanently store data, such as a hard drive, the security threat of unauthorized reprinting is eliminated. As such, RAM-only devices can be proposed for environments where information security is the top priority. Removable Hard Disk Drive Several Ricoh high volume MFPs offer the Removable Hard Drive option for ultra-security conscious customers. The Removable Hard Drive (RHD) option provides an ideal security solution for government, military, and other office environments that require high security. The system's internal hard drive is externally mounted in a secure bay, allowing the hard drive to be unlocked, removed and stored in a secure external location. To add an extra layer of security, an additional removable hard drive may be purchased to keep classified and unclassified information separate. Unauthorized Copy Control/Masked Type This function discourages the illegal copying of documents that were originally created and printed using the RPCS driver. When the optional Copy Data Security Unit is installed, files printed via the RPCS driver can be embedded with a special message that instructs the scanners of other Ricoh devices not to copy, scan, or send the page. Instead, page content is either grayed out, or overprinted with one of 10 possible obscuring patterns and/or a customized text message to deter illegal copying. 17
