Procedure Summary<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Shared network multifunctional and local printers are assets that must be configured to provide a secure printing environment.  Tarleton State University\u2019s (Tarleton or university) information resources are strategic assets which, as property of the State of Texas, must be managed as valuable state resources in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2054<\/a>. This standard applies to the use and configuration of network multifunction printers and local printers used by faculty and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The purpose of this standard is to provide a set of measures that will mitigate information security risks associated with multifunctional printers.

In accordance with Texas Administrative Code (TAC) Chapter 202 \u2010 Information Security Standards<\/a>, each department and\/or resource owner may elect not to implement some or all of the risk mitigation measures provided in this standard based on information security risk management decisions and business functions. Such risk management decisions must be documented and reported to the designated information security officer. This standard will apply equally to all individuals who utilize network multifunctional and\/or local printers and access Tarleton information resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
