Overwrite Hard Disk
Tip:
This is a standard security feature that overwrites and removes all of the job image data residing on the hard drive within the press. It does not affect NVM storage. For more information, contact the Xerox Customer Support Center.
To ensure that job image data on the hard drive cannot be accessed, you can delete and overwrite the job image data. Image data is all user data that is currently in process or temporary user data on the hard drive. This includes current / active jobs, queued jobs, and completed jobs. Select whether or not to perform a hard disk overwrite process. Options include:
Number of Overwrites
Select the number of times to overwrite the hard disk data. Select between 1-3 times.
After deleting data from the hard disk, the area on the hard disk where the data was stored is overwritten. This prevents unauthorized retrieval or restoration of the previously recorded data. This applies to files and other information stored temporarily by the system.
Tip:
Carefully read the following information:
◦ If the press is powered off during the overwriting process, some files may remain on the hard disk.
◦ The data on the hard disk is erased by overwriting it one time. However, overwriting the data three times ensures that the data cannot be recovered. The three times overwrite process does take a longer amount of time to perform than the one time overwrite process.
◦ During the overwriting process, normal operations may run slower than normally.
Scheduled Image Overwrite
Select a schedule, recurring time to overwrite the hard disk data. Selections include:
• Disable
• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly
Run Image Overwrite
Select this option and select Start to begin and immediately run a hard disk overwrite. This removes the job data as soon as the print job completes.
