Disk Wipe

Usually when you delete a file, the file’s dictionary entry is removed but data still remains on the disk. The Disk Wipe utility enables you to clear previously deleted files. The utility eliminates the contents of your deleted files by scanning all of the empty sectors on the disk and replacing them with zeros. Nonempty sectors are left untouched. This feature enables you to work in a more secure environment. If there is a system shutdown, the disk wipe operation can begin immediately.

To operate the Spire Disk Wipe utility:

1.In the Settings window, select Security.

2.To enable the disk wipe feature, select Wipe disk on system

shutdown.

3.Click Save.

4.Exit the Spire CX250 color server application.

Notes:

•The disk wipe operation does not function well when the Norton Utilities application is installed. Before you activate the Disk Wipe utility, make sure that Norton Utilities is not installed on the Spire CX250 color server.

•In rare cases, the process of deleting files from the Storage window is not completed—for example, the system shuts down before the deletion process is completed. When this happens, parts of the deleted files still reside in the D\:Output folder. Therefore, it is recommended that before you start the disk wipe operation, check the D\:Output folder to ensure that all the relevant files were deleted.

•The Disk Wipe utility affects the user disk and printer disk.

•Do not operate the Disk Wipe utility while another application is running.

•The supported language is English.
