To prevent damage from malicious attackers, follow the points below in addition to the contents of "Software/Extension Security" and ensure that installation and setup are performed properly.

When using this product

Administrators should prepare a secure PC, server, or network that can only be accessed by authorized persons.
Printer Driver Packager NX information assets can be accessed in common from all PC accounts.
Therefore, appropriately manage the PC access account.
To avoid attacks that disguise the driver package, obtain the driver from the Ricoh web site and properly manage and distribute the driver package created. In some cases, you may also need a security program.
To prevent leakage of print information over the network during printing, we recommend that models that support encrypted communication use it.
For server communications, we recommend you to enable the SSL/TLS setting.
We recommend you to use a certificate issued by a trusted third-party certification authority instead of a self-signed certificate as the digital certificate used to encrypt the communication.
We recommend TLS 1.2 for printing with a multifunction device or printer using the IPP port.
To use driver two-way communication, enable SNMPv1/v2 for the multifunction device or printer. In this case, refer to the multifunction device security for details about the precautions.
When creating a driver package that uses LPR, make sure that the multifunction device or printer ports are not restricted.
