Erasing Data on the Printer's Hard Disk
When erasing all data on the hard disk, choose from the following three options.
This operation is only available from the Control Panel.
Erasure Method Details
High Speed Erases file management data for print job data stored on the printer's hard disk. Choose this method for rela-
tively fast erasure. Because only the file management data is erased, the print job data itself is not erased.
Note that it may be possible to read this data using commercial data recovery software.
Secure High Spd. Overwrites the entire hard disk with random data. No verification is performed to check if the data was cor-
rectly written. Choose this method to erase highly confidential data. Note that it may be possible to read the
overwritten data using specialized data recovery tools.
Secure Overwrites the entire hard disk with 00, FF, and random data (one time each). Verification is performed to
check if the data was correctly written. Choose this method to erase especially confidential data. It is virtually
impossible to recover the overwritten data. Conforms to the DoD5220.22-M standard of the U.S. Department
of Defense.
Important
• For a more secure method of preventing data recovery, we recommend physically or magnetically destroying the hard
disk. In this case, the hard disk can no longer be used.
• Erase HDD Data is not available if there is a job queue.
Additionally, print jobs are not processed during execution of Erase HDD Data.
