Disposing of a printer hard disk
•
Degaussing—Flushes the hard disk with a magnetic field that erases stored data
•
Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable
•
Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits
Note: To guarantee that all data are completely erased, destroy physically each hard disk where data is
stored.
Description
Some printers may have a hard disk drive installed. The
printer hard disk is designed for printer-specific
functionality. The hard disk lets the printer retain buffered
user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font
data.
