Wiping Mode

Off

Auto

Manual

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:

  • This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is installed.
  • 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.

Time

Day(s)

Specifies times and days for disk wiping

Note: This setting does not appear when Wiping Mode is set to Off or Auto.

Manual Wiping

Start now

Do not start now

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. This type of wipe does not erase any information related to an unprocessed print job.

Notes:

  • This setting does not appear when Wiping Mode is “Off.”
  • "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

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.

Automatic Wiping marks all disk space used by a previous job and does not permit the file system to reuse this space until it has been sanitized.

Only Automatic Wiping enables users to activate disk wiping without having to take the printer offline for an extended amount of time.

Notes:

  • This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is installed.
  • Single pass is the factory default setting.
  • Highly confidential information should be wiped using the Multiple pass method only.
Manual Method

Single pass

Multiple pass

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.

Both manual and scheduled wiping allow the file system to reuse marked disk space without first having to wipe it.

Notes:

  • This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is installed.
  • Single pass is the factory default setting.
  • Highly confidential information should be wiped using the Multiple Pass method only.
Scheduled Method

Single pass
