Disk Encryption
Controls whether the printer encrypts the information that it writes to the hard disk.
Warning: When the value for Disk Encryption, the printer completely formats the hard disk which means that all
information on the disk is deleted.
Note: If an encrypted disk is removed from the printer and another disk is installed, the Disk Corrupted.
Reformat? message appears. The newly installed disk must either be formatted or removed from the printer.
Selections include Disable (default) and Enable. When Disk Encryption is selected, Yes or No appears for you
to confirm. Select either Yes or No, and press Select ( ) to continue. To cancel, select No.
The Disk Encryption menu item only appears when:
• A non-defective disk is installed in the printer.
• The values of bits 3-2 of digit 4 in the Configuration ID 2 are either 01 for Supported, or 10 for Supported
with an internal network adapter (INA).
A graphic appears, showing:
• The message Encrypting Disk or Formatting Disk
• A percentage scale
• The message DO NOT POWER OFF
The process is complete when the percentage scale displays 100.
Wipe Disk
Note: Due to the lengthy amount of time required to wipe an entire hard disk using either method, a wipe should
not be initiated unless it is absolutely unavoidable (for example, disk corruption), or unless the printer can
remain offline for several hours without inconveniencing users.
Warning: A user should not initiate either type of wipe from the Configuration Menu if the hard disk contains
downloaded fonts, macros, held jobs, and so forth that should not be erased.
This setting initiates either a single pass wipe or a multiple pass wipe of the entire hard disk. Select Disk Wipe
(fast) to complete a single pass wipe and replacement of the file system. Select Disk Wipe (secure) to
complete a multiple pass wipe at a more basic level.
Duplex Gloss
Generates higher quality duplex copies than when using the normal duplex mode. The major difference between
normal duplex and duplex gloss mode is the number of sheets in the duplex print media path. Normal duplex
mode feeds two sheets simultaneously, while duplex gloss feeds only one sheet.
Selections include Off (default) and On.
Font Sharpening
Lets a user set a text point-size value below the setting of the high frequency screens used when printing font
data. This menu item only affects the PostScript, PCL, XL, and PDF emulators.
Settings are in the range of 0–150 (24 is the default). For example, if the value is set to 24, then all fonts sized 24
points or less use the high frequency screens. To increase value by 1, press ; to decrease the value by 1,
press .
