Securing printers 62 Warning-Potential Damage: This action deletes all the contents of a hard disk, including font data, forms data, macros, and any buffered fax, Confidential Print, or Print and Hold data. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Restore Factory Defaults > Erase Hard Disk. 2 Select either of the following: • Single Pass Erase-Overwrite the hard disk in a single pass. • Multiple Pass Erase-Overwrite the hard disk with random bit patterns several times, followed by a verification pass. A secure overwrite is compliant with the DoD 5220.22‑M standard for securely erasing data from a hard disk. Use this method when wiping highly confidential information. 3 Select the check box to confirm. 4 Click Submit. Note: Do not turn off the printer while erasing hard disk data. This process may take several hours to complete. Out‑of‑service wiping This menu lets you clear all settings, applications, and pending job or fax data stored in the device, erase all contents on the hard disk, or both. Doing both restores the device to the original factory default settings, which includes network settings. Out‑of‑service wiping allows users to erase the printer memory and completely wipe the hard disk in one process. When removing a device from a secure environment, we recommend performing this procedure to make sure that no customer data remains. 1 From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Restore Factory Defaults. 2 Depending on your printer firmware version, click Out of Service Erase or Out of Service Wiping, and then select one or more of the following: • Erase Printer Memory-Erase all settings, applications, and job data. • Erase Hard Disk-Erase all the contents of the hard disk. • Perform Disk Wipe-Clear all job data. • Clear Settings and Solutions-Clear all settings and applications. Note: In some printer models, the Out of Service Wiping setting is visible only if security is enabled. Make sure that the access control for the security menus is set to use any security template other than No Security. 3 If you selected either Erase Hard Disk or Perform Disk Wipe, select either of the following: • Single Pass Erase-Erase the content on the printer hard disk in a single pass with a repeating bit pattern. • Multiple Pass Erase-Erase the content on the printer hard disk with random bit patterns several times, followed by a verification pass. A secure erase is compliant with the DoD 5220.22‑M standard for securely erasing data from a hard disk. Highly confidential information should be erased using this method. 4 Confirm your selection. 5 Apply the changes. Warning-Potential Damage: Do not turn off the printer while erasing data. This process may take several hours to complete.
