Auto Erase Memory
A document scanned in copier, or scanner mode, or print data sent from a printer driver is temporarily
stored on the machine's hard disk. Even after the job is completed, it remains in the hard disk as temporary
data. Auto Erase Memory erases the temporary data on the hard disk by writing over it.
Overwriting starts automatically once the job is completed.
The copier and printer functions take priority over the Auto Erase Memory function. If a copy or print job
is in progress, overwriting will only be done after the job is completed.
Overwrite Icon
When Auto Erase Memory is set to [On], the Data Overwrite icon will be indicated in the bottom right hand
corner of the panel display of your machine.
Dirty
This icon is lit when there is temporary data to be overwritten, and
blinks during overwriting.
Clear This icon is lit when there is no temporary data to be overwritten.
• The Data Overwrite icon will indicate "Clear" when there is a Sample Print/Locked Print/Hold Print/
Stored Print job.
• If the Data Overwrite icon is not displayed, first check if Auto Erase Memory has been set to [Off]. If
the icon
is not displayed even though Auto Erase Memory is [On], contact your service representative.
