Disk Wiping menu
Menu item Description
Automatic Wiping
Off
On
Disk Wiping erases only print job data that is not currently in use by the file system
from the printer hard disk. All permanent data on the printer hard disk is preserved,
such as downloaded fonts, macros, and held jobs.
Automatic Wiping marks all disk space used by a previous job and does not permit
the file system to reuse this space until it has been sanitized.
Only Automatic Wiping enables users to activate disk wiping without having to take
the printer offline for an extended amount of time.
Notes:
• This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is
installed.
• Off is the 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.
Manual Wiping
Start now
Do not start now
Disk Wiping erases only print job data that is not currently in use by the file system
from the printer hard disk. All permanent data on the printer hard disk is preserved,
such as downloaded fonts, macros, and held jobs.
Manual Wiping overwrites all disk space that has been used to hold data from a
print job that has been processed (i.e. printed). This type of wipe does not erase any
information related to an unprocessed print job.
Notes:
• This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is
installed.
• "Do not start now" is the 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.
