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 Erase HDD Data.
  1. On the Tab Selection screen of the Control Panel, press or to select the Settings/Adj. tab ().
    Note
    •  If the Tab Selection screen is not displayed, press the Menu button.
  2. Press the OK button.
    The Set./Adj. Menu is displayed.
    3.
  3. Press or to select System Setup, and then press the OK button.
    4.
  4. Press or to select Erase HDD Data, and then press the OK button.
    5.
  5. Press or to select High Speed, Secure High Spd., or Secure, and then press the OK button to display the confirmation screen.
    Note
    •  If a password has been set on the printer, the Admin.Pswd screen is displayed. In this case, enter the password and press the OK button to go to the next step.
    •  As for the time required for deletion, confirm it on the Control Panel. However, when High Speed is selected, this finishes in several seconds.
  6. Press the OK button to start erasure.
    After the printer hard disk is erased, the printer automatically restarts.
