Securing data
•
Automatic—Immediately overwrite areas of the disk that were used for job processing. Automatic wiping marks
all disk space used by a previous job and prevents the file system from reusing this space until it is sanitized.
Automatic wiping is the only wiping process that operates without having to take the device offline during the
wiping process.
Note: Automatic wiping is the preferred method of wiping because the time that job files are resident on the
disk is minimized.
•
Scheduled—Select when the disk wiping of previous job files is executed. When the disk space that is used for a
job is no longer required, it is marked for wiping later. At the first available non-busy period after the next scheduled-
time setting, the device goes offline and begins wiping the marked disk space. No user warning or confirmation
message is displayed. The Scheduled and Manual settings enable the file system to reuse marked disk space without
wiping it.
•
Manual—Immediately start wiping all disk space that is marked as previously used for job data. The device is offline
during the wiping process. Do Not Start Now is the default setting. In devices that support a hard disk, you can
access the disk wiping menu from the device Embedded Web Server. In most devices, the menu can also be accessed
from the control panel. If the disk wiping access control is enabled, then make sure that you are authorized before
starting disk wiping.
