Details

High Speed A few seconds Erases le management data for print job data stored on the

printer ’ s hard disk. Choose this method for relatively fast

erasure. Because only the le management data is erased, the

print job data itself is not erased. Note that it may be possible to

read this data using commercial data recovery software.

Secure High Spd. About 40 minutes Overwrites the entire hard disk with random data. No verication

is performed to check if the data was correctly written. Choose

this method to erase highly condential data. Note that it may

be possible to read the overwritten data using specialized data

recovery tools.

Secure About 24 hours Overwrites the entire hard disk with 00, FF , and random data

(one time each). V erication is performed to check if the data

was correctly written. Choose this method to erase especially

condential data. It is virtually impossible to recover the

overwritten data. Conforms to the DoD5220.22-M standard of

the U.S. Department of Defense.
