The printer's hard disk is used as a temporary storage area for print jobs. Secure File Erase can erase your
temporary les from the hard disk to protect them from unauthorized access. It begins to do so as soon as
you turn it on, but old temporary les that were already on the hard disk are not erased retroactively. If you
want to erase the old les too, see Disk Wipe on page 114.
Secure File Erase provides three dierent levels of security:
●
Non-Secure: 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 diicult for most people to access, but may be accessed using software designed for the
