Data affected
Data affected (covered) by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are
created during the print and copying process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based
fonts, and disk-based macros (forms).
Note
Stored jobs will be securely overwritten only when they have been deleted through the
RETRIEVE JOB menu on the MFP after the appropriate erase mode has been set. See
Retrieve job menu
.
This feature will not impact data that is stored on flash-based product non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM) that is used to store default settings, page counts, and similar data. This feature
does not affect data that is stored on a system RAM disk (if one is used). This feature does
not impact data that is stored on the flash-based system boot RAM.
Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode does not overwrite previous data on the disk, nor
does it immediately perform a full-disk sanitization. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode
changes how the MFP cleans up temporary data for jobs after the erase mode has been
changed.
