3. Data Management and Security

The imagePRESS C800/C700 Series machines offer several ways to
protect and secure data. It is strongly recommended that a backup and
security system is in place, along with an antivirus protection system to
make sure that no data on the hard disk drives are lost, stolen, or
compromised.
There are several security methods available from Canon USA that
appropriately addresses a customer's needs for securing data.
• Trusted Platform Module
• Customer Accessible HDD Initialization Function (Initialize All
Data/Settings)
• Optional Security Kits (HDD Data Erase Kit and HDD Encryption &
Mirroring Kit)
• Optional Removable Hard Disk Kit (for the imagePRESS C800/C700
Series machines)
• Optional Removable Hard Disk Kit (for the imagePRESS Server
F200)
CAUTION
Canon USA is not liable for any damages resulting from the loss or
corruption of data. (See the DISCLAIMER, on page
a) TPM (Trusted Platform Module)
TPM is a standard security chip (tamper resistant hardware) installed
in the imagePRESS C800/C700 Series machines. The TPM provides
a facility for the secure generation of cryptographic keys, encrypts
information stored on the internal HDD, and decrypts information
read from the internal HDD. The public keys to encrypt confidential
information are securely controlled by the TPM chip, and they can
only be decrypted if the TPM releases the associated decryption key.
If the HDD is removed from the machine, it will be difficult to retrieve
data off that HDD since the encryption key for that data is stored in a
separate location within the TPM.
Once the TPM setting is activated, if the end user fails to back up the
TPM key, or if the end user loses the TPM key, it may result in
permanent, unrecoverable data loss, for which Canon USA is not
liable. (See the DISCLAIMER, on page
