Configuring Out Of Service Erase - Lexmark MS610dn Administrator's Manual

Using security features in the Embedded Web Server
•
Fax data—If your printer does not contain a hard disk, or if you have chosen NAND for fax storage, then you can
erase fax settings and data by resetting the NVRAM using the printer Config menu.
Note: If your printer has a hard disk that has been partitioned for fax storage, then you must reformat that
partition to erase fax data and settings.
•
Embedded solutions—You can erase information and settings associated with embedded solutions by uninstalling
the solutions, or by restoring factory defaults using the printer Config menu.

Configuring Out of Service Erase

Notes:
•
This menu appears only when basic or advanced security is enabled on the device and the "Security Menu
Remotely" access control is activated.
•
This menu allows you to selectively clear all settings, apps, and pending job or fax data stored in the device,
erase all contents on the hard disk, or both. Selecting both will restore the device to the original factory default
settings, which includes network settings.
1
From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Restore Factory Defaults > Out of Service Erase.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not turn off the printer.
2
Click the Erase Printer Memory check box if you wish to clear all settings, apps, and job data.
3
Click the Erase Hard Disk check box if you wish to erase all the contents of the hard disk, and then select either of
the following:
•
Single Pass Erase—This lets you erase the content on the printer hard disk in a single pass with a repeating bit
pattern.
• Multiple Pass Erase—This lets you erase the content on the printer hard disk with random bit patterns several
times, followed by a verification pass. A secure erase is compliant with the DoD 5220.22‑M standard for securely
erasing data from a hard disk. Highly confidential information should be erased using this method.
Notes:
•
You must satisfy the security FAC (Function Access Control) applied in the security template first in order to
access this setting.
•
Single Pass Erase is the factory default setting.
