bizhub SECURE services

Data protection is a major issue for most companies. bizhub delivers advanced security settings through bizhub SECURE services, a total security setting service that provides greater protection for customer data stored in the SSD and device’s network settings.

Use PC login user names for easy secure printing

The PC login profile can be used as an ID for secure printing, so the user can print easily and securely once logged in without the trouble of entering his or her ID each time.

Secure printing

By setting a password for documents on the printer driver screen, the document is stored on the unit’s SSD until the same password is input into the MFP’s operation panel. The document is protected and will not be output until the password set for that document is matched. This is useful when you wish to print confidential documents or give permission for limited users to receive copies.

Encrypted SSD

The bizhub 650i series is equipped with a new 256 GB encrypted SSD for heightened security. With very few device compatibility problems, and with full-time encryption, this constantly maintains a high level of security with no fuss.

Non-contact IC card authentication

Non-contact IC cards*1 such as FeliCa can be used to authenticate users*2. This also supports SSFC (Shared Security Formats Cooperation) specifications which enable integration of staff authentication with authentication systems. Apart from non-contact IC cards, authentication can also be carried out on NFC-compatible Android devices*3 .

*1 Non-contact IC cards are compatible with FeliCa (IDm), SSFC, FCF, FCF (Campus) and MIFARE (UID).

*2 Requires the IC card authentication device AU-201S option.

Virus scanning

The bizhub 650i series is equipped with robust antivirus software based on an embedded Bitdefender scan engine to ensure safe connection to devices including PCs, tablets, and USB flash drives. Scanning individual files means much finer virus detection than with the whitelist method alone. Latent viruses in the office are discovered through checking and notification when files are input. Checking when files are output from the MFP also prevents dissemination of infected files. Further periodic checking of files in the MFP discovers risky files and detects latent risks in the MFP. Real time virus scan jobs are available for print, scan and fax functions, while manual or scheduled virus scans are possible for folders such as SMB folders on the Box and SSD

Serverless printing in a ubiquitous network

The bizhub 650i series achieves serverless printing in a ubiquitous network that outputs previously sent print jobs from any desired MFP in the office network, after authentication. As a base unit for printing, it works as a print server, which enables the easy, low-cost creation of a serverless printing system for ubiquitous computing.

A print system in a ubiquitous network can be created for up to 100 units. Each MFP requires the i-Option LK-114 option.

Supports VLAN (Virtual LAN)

The bizhub 650i series supports a VLAN function that splits multiple networks logically. Data can be isolated for each network, such as externally vs. internally connected networks, company dedicated vs. guest-only networks, or in shared offices so the bizhub can be used securely.

Security watermark function

The bizhub 650i series achieves serverless printing in a ubiquitous network that outputs previously sent print jobs from any desired MFP in the office network, after authentication. As a base unit for printing, it works as a print server, which enables the easy, low-cost creation of a serverless printing system for ubiquitous computing.

Encrypted PDFs

Password encryption
Documents distributed in PDF format can be password encrypted.

Digital ID encryption
Only authorised recipients with a private key can decrypt. This ensures a far more robust level of security than the previous public key system. If encrypting with Digital ID, the email address (S/MIME send) to which the Digital ID has already been registered must be registered to the MFP’s abbreviated address.Requires the i-Option LK-102 v3.

Electronic signatures
Electronic signatures certify (MFP) document authors, and also guarantee that the document has not been changed and is valid. Certifications by third party organisations can also be used. When using electronic signatures, files should be encrypted using either a password or Digital ID. Requires i-Option LK-102 v3.
