Automatic Method
Single pass
Multiple pass
Description
Specifies the mode for disk wiping
Notes:
•
Auto 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.
Specifies times and days for disk wiping
Note: This setting does not appear when Wiping Mode is set to Off or Auto.
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.
•
This menu does not appear when Wiping Mode is set to Off.
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
Notes:
•
"Single pass" is the factory default setting.
•
Only Automatic wiping enables users to activate disk wiping without having to
turn the printer off for an extended amount of time.
•
Highly confidential information should be wiped using only the Multiple pass
method.
