Erase Job Data

There are several methods to protect data stored on the product hard drives. One solution is to purchase a product with an HP High-Performance Secure Hard Disk. With an HP High-Performance Secure Hard Disk, the data on the drive is not accessible if it is erased from the product. Use the Erase Job Data feature in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) to securely erase print jobs from the hard drive. Erase Job Data should be performed prior to donating, recycling, or transferring ownership of the product.

NOTE: This feature is available on the product only when an HP High-Performance Secure Hard Disk has been installed.

Erase Job Data offers the following levels of disk security:

●Non-Secure Fast Erase (no overwrite)

●Secure Fast Erase (overwrites once)

●Secure Sanitize Erase (overwrites three times)

NOTE: Secure Fast Erase overwrites data once and has little performance impact. Secure Sanitize Erase overwrites data three times and can impact performance

Data affected

Data affected by the Erase Job Data feature includes temporary files that are created during the print process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts, disk-based macros (forms), address books, and HP and third-party applications.

Stored jobs are securely overwritten only when they have been deleted through the Retrieve Job from Device Memory menu on the product after the appropriate erase mode has been set.
