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.
Notes:
•
Off is the factory default setting.
•
Due to the large amount of resources required for Automatic Wiping, activating
this option may decrease printer performance, especially if the printer requires
hard disk space faster than it can be wiped and returned to service.
Manual Wiping
Do not start now
Start now
Manual Wiping overwrites all disk space that has been used to hold data from a
print job that has been processed (printed). This type of wipe
does not
erase any
information related to an unprocessed print job.
Notes:
•
“Do not start now” is the factory 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.
Automatic Method
Single pass
Multiple pass
Automatic wiping marks all disk space used by a previous print job and does not
permit the file system to reuse this space until it has been cleared.
Only Automatic wiping enables users to activate disk wiping without having to turn
the printer off for an extended amount of time.
Notes:
•
“Single pass” is the factory default setting.
•
Highly confidential information should be wiped using
only
the Multiple pass
method.
Manual Method
Single pass
Multiple pass
Both manual and scheduled wiping allow the file system to reuse marked disk space
without having to wipe it first.
Notes:
•
“Single pass” is the factory default setting.
•
Highly confidential information should be wiped using
only
the Multiple pass
method.
