Erasing Data on the Printer's Hard Disk

When erasing all data on the hard disk, choose from the following three options.
This operation is only available from the Control Panel.
Erasure
Method
High Erases file management data for print job data stored on the printer's hard disk. Choose this method
Speed for relatively fast erasure. Because only the file management data is erased, the print job data itself is
not erased. Note that it may be possible to read this data using commercial data recovery software.
Secure Overwrites the entire hard disk with random data. No verification is performed to check if the data
High Spd. was correctly written. Choose this method to erase highly confidential data. Note that it may be possi-
ble to read the overwritten data using specialized data recovery tools.
Secure Overwrites the entire hard disk with 00, FF, and random data (one time each). Verification is per-
formed to check if the data was correctly written. Choose this method to erase especially confidential
data. It is virtually impossible to recover the overwritten data. Conforms to the DoD5220.22-M stand-
ard of the U.S. Department of Defense.

stroying the hard disk. In this case, the hard disk can no longer be used.
