Introduction
The MX-FR36U adds a security function to the SHARP Digital Full Color Multifunctional
System.
When the copy, printer, or fax function of a SHARP Digital Full Color Multifunctional System with
the security function is used, image data generated in each job is encrypted, and when the job is
finished, the encrypted data is immediately erased from the memory and hard disk.
■ Note:
To ensure that the data security function of the machine provides maximum security,
observe the following:
● The administrator plays an important role in maintaining security. Exercise appropriate
care in selecting the person that will assume the job of administrator.
● Be sure to change the administrator password immediately each time a new person
takes over as administrator.
● Change the administrator password on a regular basis (at least once every 60 days).
● Do not select a password that can be easily guessed for the administrator password
.
● The setting mode (administrator) are very important for security management. If you
leave the machine when using the setting mode (administrator), be sure to tap the
[Logout] key to quit the setting mode (administrator). The administrator of the machine
should inform users that they are not to access the setting mode (administrator)
without permission.
● The customer bears responsibility for control of copies of documents made on the
machine and faxes received on the machine.
● Even when the data security kit is installed, note that fax data in the polling memory
box used by the facsimile function can be read.
■ Backing up and clearing data stored with the document filing
function
When the data security kit is installed, data previously stored in the machine with the
document filing function is cleared. For this reason, any data that you need to keep is
copied to a computer before the data security kit is installed, and then returned to the
machine after installation and clearing of the previous data. (This work is normally
performed by a service technician at the time of installation of the data security kit.)
Only confidential folders can be used to return data from a computer to the machine
after installation of the data security kit. Before returning data from a computer to the
machine, create confidential folders if needed.

■ About passwords for the Web page
If an incorrect "users" or "admin" password is entered 3 times in a row when attempting
to access the Web pages of a machine that has the data security kit installed, access to
pages that require entry of the "users" or "admin" password will be prohibited for 5
minutes.
Some of the procedures for operating the machine change when the data
security kit is installed. The manuals for the machine explain the procedures for
operating the machine when data security kit is not installed. This manual
explains the changes to those procedures when the data security kit is installed.

Security Settings in the FTP Pull Print Function
When the machine is used as a network printer and the FTP Pull Print function is used, the
data security kit enables authentication of the user by means of a "User Name" and
"Password" for the FTP server. (The Pull Print function allows a file on a previously stored
FTP server to be printed directly from the operation panel of the machine without using the
printer driver.)
User authentication is enabled by selecting the [Enable User Authentication] checkbox on
the machine for configuring FTP Pull Print settings. This checkbox appears when the data
security kit is installed, and is initially selected (a checkmark appears).
■
Procedure for directly printing a file on an FTP server (when user
authentication is enabled)
Your user name and password must be entered following selection of the FTP server
that contains the file to be printed from the touch panel of the machine.
When the FTP server is selected in step 3 of "DIRECTLY PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP
SERVER" in "PRINTER" in the User's Manual (PC), a screen will appear prompting you
to enter your user name and password for the FTP server.
Tap the [User Name] key to enter your user name and the [Password] key to enter your
password. A letter entry screen will appear in each case.
When you have finished entering your user name/password, tap the [OK] key.
After entering your user name and password, continue from step 4 of "DIRECTLY
PRINTING A FILE ON AN FTP SERVER" in "PRINTER" in the User's Manual (PC).
