Secure File Erase Mode This setting determines the level of overwriting applied to delete files during routine functions. This includes removal of files for the Secure Storage Erase function. The settings are: Non-secure Fast Erase does a standard erase with no additional security. Secure Fast Erase overwrites files using one pass. This takes some extra time, but it provides reasonable security. Secure Sanitizing Erase overwrites files with three passes. It noticeably slows the MFP, but it ensures that files are completely unrecoverable. Use Secure Sanitizing Erase to meet stringent security requirements such as Department of Defense standards. Note: Secure File Erase requires that the File System Password be configured. If you are following this checklist in order this should not be an issue. To set the Secure File Erase Mode follow these instructions: 1. Click to select Secure File Erase Mode (Figure 49), and view the options in the dropdown menu. Figure 49: The Secure File Erase Mode setting. 2. Select Secure Fast Erase (Figure 50) or Secure Sanitizing Erase if you require maximum security.
