Disk Wiping erases
only
print job data that
is not
currently in use by the file system
from the printer hard disk. All permanent data on the printer hard disk is preserved,
such as downloaded fonts, macros, and held jobs.
Manual Wiping overwrites all disk space that has been used to hold data from a
print job that has been processed (i.e. printed). This type of wipe
does not
erase any
information related to an unprocessed print job.

This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is
installed.
•
"Do not start now" is the default setting.
•
If the Disk Wiping access control is activated, then a user must successfully
authenticate and have the required authorization in order to initiate the disk
wipe.
