File Erase Mode
Determines the behavior of a secure
storage erase operation and the erase
operation that the printer automatically
performs to make space available on a
hard disk drive for incoming print jobs.
The erase operations are designed to
add available space to the printer's hard
disk drive, and to prevent unauthorized
users from accessing confidential
information from the printer's hard disk
drive or other erasable storage device.
NOTE:
The File System Password
must be configured before these settings
can be modified.
The following erase modes are available.
See row four in
Table 3-6 Security
on page 35
for more information.
●
Non-Secure Fast Erase. When a
Secure Storage Erase is
performed, files on the mass
storage device are not actually
deleted. Rather, the reference to
the files in the file system tables is
removed.
●
Secure Fast Erase. When a
Secure Storage Erase is
performed, file information is
overwritten with a random
character pattern when it is deleted.
●
Secure Sanitize Erase. When a
Secure Storage Erase is
performed, a secure, repetitive
algorithm is used to overwrite all file
information and remove any
residual data persistence. A
random character is written to all
bytes of deleted sectors. Then the
complement of that character is
written, and finally, another random
character is written. The device
might restart a number of times
during this process.
