Other Security Functions

This section explains the settings for preventing information leakage.

It also explains the functions that are restricted when user authentication is enabled.

System status

Checking the system status using [Check Status]

You can check the machine status in the [Alert] and [Status] areas on the top page of Web Image Monitor controlled from networked computers. (Web Image Monitor is a management tool installed on this machine to monitor this machine or configure settings for this machine by using a web browser.)

Checking firmware validity

When the machine starts up, this function is used to check that the firmware is valid.

If an error occurs while a verification process is performed, a verification error is displayed on the control panel.

Note that this can also be checked using a web browser from networked computers after the machine starts. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.) If an error occurs in a verification process of Web Image Monitor, Web Image Monitor cannot be used. If this is the case, check the control panel.
