Erase Temporary Data Files menu

This menu allows you to remove residual confidential material from the scanner hard disk and free up memory space. All permanent data on the hard disk are preserved, such as downloaded fonts, macros, and held jobs. This uses random data patterns to securely overwrite files stored on the hard drive that have been marked for deletion. Overwriting can be accomplished with a single pass‑‑for a quick wipe‑‑or with multiple passes with greater security.

Note: This menu appears only when a formatted, working scanner hard disk is installed.

Use	To
Wiping Mode	Specify the mode for disk wiping.
Auto
Automatic Method	Mark all disk space used by a previous print job. This method does not permit the file
Single pass	system to reuse this space until it has been cleared.
Multiple pass	Notes:
	• “Single pass” is the factory default setting. Use this setting to overwrite the
	scanner hard disk in a single pass with a repeating bit pattern.
	• Select “Multiple pass” to overwrite the scanner hard disk with random bit
	patterns several times, followed by a verification pass. Highly confidential
	information should be wiped using only the Multiple pass method.
