●
Non-Secure Fast Erase: 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 diicult for most people to access, but may be accessed using software designed
for the purpose. This is the normal method in which les are erased on most computer systems; it is the
fastest method but the least secure.
●
Secure Fast Erase: all pointers to the information are erased, and the information itself is also overwritten
with a xed character pattern. This method is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, 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: 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 Disk Erase.
Secure Disk 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 diiculty in using Secure Disk Erase from Web JetAdmin, contact HP Support: see Contact HP Support
on page 164.
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 Disk Erase or 24 hours with Secure Sanitizing Erase.
