Disk Wiping menu

Menu item	Description
Wiping Mode	Disk Wiping erases only print job data that is not currently in use by the file system
Off	from the printer hard disk. All permanent data on the printer hard disk is preserved,
Auto	such as downloaded fonts, macros, and held jobs.
Manual	Notes:
	• This menu item appears only if a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is
	installed.
	• Off is the factory 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	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 (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 factory 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.
Automatic Method	Disk Wiping erases only print job data that is not currently in use by the file system
Single pass	from the printer hard disk. All permanent data on the printer hard disk is preserved,
