McAfee Embedded Control
McAfee

Built-in Enhanced Security is the Standard offering on
the WorkCentre 7970/7970i that can detect and prevent
unauthorized read-modify-write of files by unauthorized
persons/systems. Built-in security prevents unauthorized
reading, writing, adding of any of the systems protected files &
directories. Any unauthorized attempt to modify these protected
filed are recorded to the audit log on the device and can be
setup to send email alerts thru CWIS, Centreware Web, Xerox
Device Manager, or McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator.
Optional purchasable McAfee
®
Integrity Control provides the
same protections as Embedded Security with some key
additions.
Prevents new files from being EXECUTED from ANY location via
untrusted means. By utilizing whitelisting technology from
McAfee the multi-function device prevents a targeted attack from
executing an unauthorized and possibly malicious program such
as malware.
Prevents WRITING of protected executable files. Integrity
Control prevents the malicious overwrite of operating system thru
executables. File Inventory is hashed to prevent malicious
changing of it.

Non-standard Paper Sizes
Plain paper with a feed length below 5.5in. (140mm) may jam
more frequently, which may require replacement of the fuser
unit. Therefore paper transport capability is not guaranteed to
meet the spec for plain paper with a feed length below 5.5in.
(140mm).
Select media between 257-300gsm are supported, please see
Recommended Materials List for further details
Media weights heavier than 80lb Cover (216gsm) may
experience more frequent misfeeds from the High Capacity
Feeder
Recommended paper to maximize image quality and product
reliability is Xerox Color Xpressions Select 24lb or Xerox Colour
Impressions 90gsm (smooth bright white paper). This paper is
specifically designed to maximize image quality and machine
performance over a wide range of environmental conditions.
Using coated (e.g., gloss, matte coated or photo finished /
proofing) and/ or Cardstock (i.e., >90lb Index / 164 gsm) stock
may result in degraded reliability performance. Customers using
these materials exclusively or extensively will see decreased
performance as it relates to image quality and product reliability.
Attempts to feed heavier than recommended paper stocks,
and/or misuse of the media settings, may cause machine
damage or poor image quality. Using media at run modes other
than that recommended for the grade may cause poor image
quality and machine damage.
Envelope printing should not be used as a primary application
Envelopes without windows are supported through the bypass
tray in sizes Monarch, DL, C5, and No 10 (other custom sizes
are supported as well). Envelope feeding reliability is highly
dependant on the envelope used and the area coverage of the
image being affixed to the envelope.
The optional envelope tray replaces Tray 1. Customer is
responsible for installing the envelope tray.
Specialty media may not provide optimum image quality at the
extremes of the environmental ranges.
Service Uptime
The number of copies or prints between service calls on a digital
color copier / printer is highly dependent on customer expectations
of quality and the use of applications and throughput materials.
At an average usage of 10,000 copies or prints per month. It is
expected that service will be required about once every 24 weeks.
Volumes higher than this could result in more frequent service.
