Erasing Data on the Printer's Hard Disk
When erasing all data on the hard disk, choose from the following three options.
This operation is only available from the Control Panel.
Erasure
Method
Details
High
Speed
Erases file management data for print job data stored on the printer's hard disk. Choose this method for
relatively fast erasure. Because only the file management data is erased, the print job data itself is not
erased. Note that it may be possible to read this data using commercial data recovery software.
Secure
High Spd.
Overwrites the entire hard disk with random data. No verification is performed to check if the data was
correctly written. Choose this method to erase highly confidential data. Note that it may be possible to
read the overwritten data using specialized data recovery tools.
Secure
Overwrites the entire hard disk with 00, FF, and random data (one time each). Verification is performed
to check if the data was correctly written. Choose this method to erase especially confidential data. It is
virtually impossible to recover the overwritten data. Conforms to the DoD5220.22-M standard of the U.S.
Department of Defense.
Note
•
For a more secure method of preventing data recovery, we recommend physically or magnetically destroying
the hard disk. In this case, the hard disk can no longer be used.
• Erase HDD Data
is not available if there is a job queue.
Additionally, print jobs are not processed during execution of
