6 Use the Time and Day(s) options to designate when disk wiping should occur, and then click Add. Repeat as needed
to schedule additional times for disk wiping. When finished, use the browser Back button to return to the Disk
Wiping setup screen.
Note: Disk wiping can take from several minutes to more than an hour, during which time the printer will be
unavailable for other user tasks.
7 From the Disk Wiping settings screen, select one of the following for each method of disk wiping (Automatic, Manual,
and Scheduled):
• Single Pass—This lets you overwrite the printer hard disk in a single pass with a repeating bit pattern.
• Multi-pass—This lets you overwrite the printer hard disk with random bit patterns several times, followed by
a verification pass. A secure overwrite is compliant with the DoD 5220.22-M standard for securely erasing data
from a hard disk. Highly confidential information should be wiped using this method.
