Manual Wiping

Disk Wiping erases only print job data that is not currently in use by the file system

 

 

Start now

from the printer hard disk. All permanent data on the printer hard disk is preserved,

 

 

Do not start now

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.
