A Tipping Point… Sort Of
An interesting article appeared recently which is relevant for the imaging industry.
For the first time in its history, Amazon sold more electronic books for their Kindle product than hard copy books. While this development is inevitable (eventually), it was remarkable for several reasons: Read more...(538 words and 1 image)

Scrambler/Encryption – Standard on Toshiba
Due to the popularity of our recent post on copier security, we have decided to feature information from Toshiba on how exactly to secure the data on an e-studio MFP hard drive. Protect your stored documents with 128-bit encryption and Key Code access.
The Process:
- Documents are sent to System Board
- System Board converts documents and sends them to the appropriate output for printing, copying or scan to PC
- Scrambler board encrypts data and sends to hard drive
- Documents can only be recovered from the hard drive using the encryption code which is unique (128-bit)
Feel free to contact us about this procedure.
FACTS
With the convergence of digital imaging and printing technologies, nearly every digital
copier or MFP built since 2002 contains a hard drive; just like the one on your personal computer. These hard drives store an image of every document copied, printed, scanned, or emailed by the device. The intention of this design originally was to improve the information processing and handling ability of a digital copier/MFP. However, according to a recent report from CBS, nearly 67% of workers today do not even know the copier/MFP contains a hard drive. Furthermore, even more people don’t know the potential security risks that this presents…including IT professionals. Read more...(473 words and 2 images)
