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.

Note: Printers without a hard disk will not display Disk Encryption in the Security menu.
2 From the Disk Encryption menu, select Enable.
Warning—Potential Damage: Enabling disk encryption will erase the contents of the printer hard disk.
Note: Disk encryption can take from several minutes to more than an hour, during which the printer will be
unavailable for other user tasks.
