S ECURITY MEASURES
Your machine incorporates strong security utilities ranging from limiting who has access to
the controller to securing the data itself:
> Secure Printing; A standard feature that allows you to control the printing of
confidential documents on printers that are shared with other users in a network
environment.
> Secure Erase; With the optional EFI Secure Erase feature, administrators and users
are able to enhance security by erasing data stored on the controller’s hard drive,
employing an overwriting protection scheme to erase all traces of deleted
information for optimal security in any setting.
S ECURE PRINTING
PCL driver; refer to “Secure printing” on page 33 for full details.
PS driver; refer to the Fiery Configuration Guide for details.
S ECURE ERASE
Secure Erase removes traces of job data from the Fiery hard disk drive, providing a high
level of document security on the Fiery server.
When a job is deleted from the print server, the job cannot be viewed or retrieved using
software provided with the print server. However, if the job was spooled to the print server
hard disk, elements of the job may remain on the hard disk and can possibly be recovered
with disk recovery tools.
Secure Erase erases job files securely from the hard disk whenever a job is deleted. During
deletion, each job file is overwritten multiple times. Secure Erase provides a high level of
document security on the print server.
Secure Erase does not apply to the following types of jobs:
> Jobs located in systems other than the Print Server:
> Copies of the job that are sent to another Print Server (“load balancing”)
> Copies of the job that are archived to media or network drives
> Copies of the job that are located on user computers
> Pages of a job that are merged or copied entirely into another job (for example,
Impose jobs or PDFs that are otherwise merged)
> Jobs submitted through the following methods:
> FTP server
> Novell PServer
> SMB connection
> Portions of a job that are written to disk because of disk swapping and disk caching
NOTE
When using secure erase, always keep in mind that the deletion is irreversible.
There is no way back if you delete wrong files!
