HP Web Jetadmin Software Device Configuration Options for Digital Sending, NOTE:, NOTE:, NOTE:, Non-secure, Fast Erase, Non-secure, Fast Erase, Confirm password, Secure Fast Erase

NOTE: For easier password management, it is recommended to set the same file system password for all devices.

NOTE: The file system password needs to be set for a device before the new file erase mode can be configured. The file system password should be set via a separate device configuration. Once set, the new file erase mode value can be set.

To set the initial file system password for a device, type the password in File system password. Type the password again in Confirm password.

Secure File Erase Mode

This option determines the behavior of a secure storage erase operation and the erase operation that a printer automatically performs to make space available on a hard disk drive for incoming print jobs. The erase operations are designed to add available space to a device’s hard disk drive and to prevent unauthorized users from accessing confidential information from a device’s hard disk drive or other erasable storage device. The following are the supported secure file erase modes:

●Non-secure Fast Erase: Erases the file system references to operations, such as completed print jobs. By erasing the references, space on the hard disk drive is made available. This is the fastest erase mode and the default mode.

●Secure Fast Erase: Erases the file system references to operations and provides one layer of masking to hide data stored on the hard disk drive or other erasable storage devices. This mode is slower than the Non-secure Fast Erase but more secure.

●Secure Sanitizing Erase: Erases the file system references to operations and provides multiple layers of masking to hide data stored on the hard disk drive or other erasable storage devices. This mode may introduce a significant performance impact to the device while the process is executing.
