HP LaserJet Enterprise - Hard Disk Security Features available in HP FutureSmart firmware printers

4 Public
This erase mode is only accessible from the pre - boot menus for the main system disk. It is available
for accessory disks in EWS and Web Jetadmin. If the erased disk contained the system firmware,
performing an Erase/Unlock will render the device inoperable, and a new firmware image must be
installed to the disk before the device can be used again.

4. Erase / Unlock Encrypted Disk
The HP High Performance Secure Hard Disk supports a special erase referred to as a “Crypto Erase”.
Selecting the Erase/Unlock option for one of these disks forces its encryption keys to be destroyed and
new keys generated. This instantly renders all the encrypted data on the disk unreadable. There is no
method to recover the encryption keys and no method to recover the encrypted data once the keys have
been changed.

Accessory Drive
A second hard drive can be added to the device to store all customer job data. Once the drive is installed,
it is enabled by selecting the drive and clicking the Use option. All existing customer job data is then
transferred to the external drive automatically. From that point forward all job data including temporary files
for print and scan jobs use the accessory drive instead of the main system drive.
