Securing data 50 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 to make sure that no customer data remains. Using the Embedded Web Server 1 Click Settings > Security. Note: Depending on your printer model, click 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 are 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. Using the control panel This menu is available only in some firmware versions. 1 Turn off the printer. 2 While turning on the printer, press and hold 2 and 6 on the keypad simultaneously until a progress bar appears. Note: Some printer models require you to press and hold the check mark and the right arrow buttons. The printer performs a power-on reset, and then the Configuration menu appears. 3 From the list, select Reset Factory Defaults > Out of Service Erase.
