Hard Disk drives
The HP DesignJet Z5600 Photo Printer contains a 320GB hard disk drive which has different purposes. It is
not possible to operate the printer without the hard disk drive.
User information can be stored in 5 different partitions of the hard disk drive and can include:
• Calibration data and printer settings
• User plots (in rasterizer format, i.e. already processed)
• User plots in native format (plots submitted to the Job Storage of the printer)
• Accounting information
• Usage information
There are different options to erase part of the user information in the hard drive:
• User plots in native format stored in the Job Storage folder of the printer can be erased manually by
users with administrative access to the printer’s Embedded Web Server
• User plots in rasterized format (in the printer’s queue) can be erased from the queue by users with
administrative access to the printer’s Embedded Web Server or with access to the printers front
panel
• Scan temporal files can be erased from the queue by accessing the printers front panel
• Calibration data, printer settings, usage information and accounting information can be erased by
service engineers
HP DesignJet Z5600 Photo Printer series supports Secure Disk Erase and Secure File Erase according to the
U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M specification.
Secure Disk Erase and Secure File Erase allow erasing the information from the Hard Disk drive in a secure
mode which makes it impossible to have this information recovered. It’s also possible to trigger a Secure
Disk Wipe which will use the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M specification to erase all data from
hard disk partitions that contain user data.
