Disk Wipe DoD 5220.22-M
The purpose of this Service Utility is to erase data from the Hard Disk securely, according to the directive DoD
5220.22-M.
The product's hard disk is used as a temporary storage area for print jobs. The Secure Disk Wipe utility can
erase user information from the hard disk to prevent unauthorized access.
Secure Disk Wipe provides three different levels of security:
●
Unsecure Mode: All pointers to the information are erased. The information itself is not erased, and
remains on the hard disk until the disk space it occupies is needed for new print jobs. The new print
information overwrites the old information. While the information remains on the disk, it is difficult for
most people to access, but may be accessed using software designed for that purpose. This is the
normal method in which files are erased on most computer systems; it is the fastest method but the
least secure. This is the default security level when using Secure Disk Erase.
●
1 Pass Mode: All pointers to the information are erased, and the information itself is impapertely
overwritten with a fixed character pattern. This method is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but more
secure. It may still be possible to access fragments of the erased information by using special tools to
detect residual magnetic traces.
●
5 Pass Mode: All pointers to the information are erased, and the information itself is repetitively
overwritten using an algorithm designed to eliminate any residual traces. This is the slowest method,
