Printer maintenance kits
Three maintenance kits are available for your printer, containing components that may need to be replaced
after long use. When one of them is needed, a message is displayed on the front panel and by the HP
DesignJet Utility.
When you see the message, you should contact HP Support (see Contact HP Support on page 166) and
request the maintenance kit. The kits are installed by service engineers only.
Secure Disk Erase
The printer's hard disk is used as a temporary storage area for print jobs. The Secure Disk Erase facility can
completely erase your information from the hard disk to protect it from unauthorized access. You can choose
to erase particular les, or the whole hard disk.
Secure Disk Erase provides three dierent levels of security:
●
Non-Secure Fast Erase: all pointers to the information are erased. The information itself remains on the
hard disk until the disk space it occupies is needed for other purposes, and it is then overwritten. While it
remains on the disk, it is diicult for most people to access, but may be accessed using software
designed for the purpose. This is the normal method in which les are erased on most computer
systems; it is the fastest method but the least secure.
●
Secure Fast Erase: all pointers to the information are erased, and the information itself is also
overwritten with a xed 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.
●
Secure Sanitizing Erase: 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, but the most secure. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the US Department of Defense 5220-22.m
requirements for clearing and sanitization of disk media. This is the default security level when using
Secure Disk Erase.
