Secure File Erase provides three different levels of security: ● Non-Secure: all pointers to the information are erased. The information itself remains on the hard disk until the disk space it occupies is needed for other purposes, and it is then overwritten. While it remains on the disk, it is difficult for most people to access, but may be accessed using software designed for the purpose. This is the normal method in which files are erased on most computer systems; it is the fastest method but the least secure. ● Secure Fast Erase (1 pass): all pointers to the information are erased, and the information itself is also overwritten with a fixed character pattern. This method is slower than Non-Secure, but more secure. It may still be possible to access fragments of the erased information by using special tools to detect residual magnetic traces. ● Secure Sanitizing Erase (5 passes): all pointers to the information are erased, and the information itself is repetitively overwritten using an algorithm designed to eliminate any residual traces. This is the slowest method, but the most secure. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the US Department of Defense 5220-22.m requirements for clearing and sanitization of disk media. This is the default security level when using Secure File Erase. While files are being erased, the printer's performance may be affected. Secure File Erase is one of the facilities provided by Web JetAdmin, which is HP's free Web-based print management software: see http://www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin. If you have difficulty in using Secure File Erase from Web JetAdmin, contact your support representative: see When you need help on page 128. The Secure File Erase configuration can be changed from Web JetAdmin or the Embedded Web Server (Setup > Security). Disk Wipe Disk Wipe is the same as Secure File Erase (see Secure File Erase on page 124), except that it erases all temporary files, including old ones. The Disk Wipe configuration can be changed from Web JetAdmin or the Embedded Web Server (Setup > Security). NOTE: If you choose to erase the whole hard disk, you may be asked to restart the printer several times during the process, which will take about 6 hours with Secure Fast Erase or 24 hours with Secure Sanitizing Erase.
