							Securing the hard disk and other installed
memory
Statement of Volatility
Your printer contains various types of memory that are capable of storing device and network settings,
information from embedded solutions, and user data. The types of memory—along with the types of data stored
by each—are described below.
Volatile memory—Your device utilizes standard Random Acc es s Me mory (RAM) to temporarily buffer user
data during simple print and copy jobs.
Non‑volatile memory—Your device may utilize two forms of non-volatile memory: EEPROM and NAND (flash
memory). Both types are used to store the operating system, device settings, network information, scanner
and bookmark settings, and embedded solutions.
Hard disk memory—Some devices have a hard disk drive installed. The printer hard disk is designed for
device‑specific functionality and cannot be used for long term storage for data that is not print‑related. The
hard disk does not provide the capability for users to extract information, create folders, create disk or
network file shares, or FTP information directly from a client device. The hard disk can retain buffered user
data from complex scan, print, copy, and fax jobs, as well as form data, and font data.
There are several circumstances under which you might wish to erase the contents of the memory devices
installed in your printer. A partial list includes:
The printer is being decommissioned
The printer hard drive is being replaced
The printer is being moved to a different department or location
The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization
The printer is being removed from your premises for service
The printer is being sold to another organization
Disposing of a hard drive
Note: Not all printers have a hard disk installed.
In high‑security environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to ensure that 
confidential data
stored on the printer hard disk cannot be accessed once the printer—or its hard disk—is removed from your
premises. While most data can be erased electronically, you may want to consider one or more of the following
actions before disposing of a printer or hard disk:
Degaussing—Flushes the hard drive with a magnetic 
field that erases stored data
Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable
Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits
Note: While most data can be erased electronically, the only way to guarantee that all data is completely
erased is to physically destroy each memory device on which data could have been stored. Securing the hard disk and other installed memory 223 
						

							Erasing volatile memory
The volatile memory (RAM) installed on your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the
buffered data, simply power down the device.
Erasing non‑volatile memory
Individual settings, device and network settings, security settings, and embedded solutions—Erase
information and settings by selecting Wipe All Settings in the Configuration menu.
Fax data—Erase fax settings and data by selecting Wipe All Settings in the Configuration menu.
1Turn off the printer.
2Hold down  and 6MNO while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the
progress bar appears.
The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Configuration menu appears. When the printer is
fully powered up, the touch screen displays a list of functions, instead of the standard home screen icons.
3To u c h  Wipe All Settings.
The printer will reboot several times during this process.
Note: Wipe All Settings securely removes device settings, solutions, jobs, faxes, and passwords on the
printer.
4To u c h  Back > Exit Config Menu.
The printer will power‑on reset, and then return to normal operating mode.
Erasing printer hard disk memory
Notes:
Some printer models may not have a printer hard disk installed.
Configuring Erase Temporary Data Files in the printer menus lets you remove residual confidential
material left by print jobs by securely overwriting files that have been marked for deletion.
Using the printer control panel
1Tu r n  
off the printer.
2Hold down 2 and 6 while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the progress
bar appears.
The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the 
Configuration menu appears. When the printer is
fully turned on, the touch screen displays a list of functions.
3To u c h  Wipe Disk, and then touch one of the following:
Wipe disk (fast)—This lets you overwrite the disk with all zeroes in a single pass.
Wipe disk (secure)—This lets you overwrite the disk with random bit patterns several times, followed by
a verification pass. A secure overwrite is compliant with the DoD 5220.22‑M standard for securely
erasing data from a hard disk. Highly confidential information should be wiped using this method.
4To u c h  Ye s to proceed with disk wiping. Securing the hard disk and other installed memory 224 
						

							Notes:
A status bar will indicate the progress of the disk wiping task.
Disk wiping can take from several minutes to more than an hour, during which the printer will be
unavailable for other user tasks.
5To u c h  Back > Exit 
Config Menu.
The printer will perform a power‑on reset, and then return to normal operating mode.
Configuring printer hard disk encryption
Note: Your printer may not have a hard disk installed.
Enabling hard disk encryption helps prevent the loss of sensitive data in the event your printer or its hard disk
is stolen.
Using the Embedded Web Server
1From the Embedded Web Server, click Settings > Security > Disk Encryption.
Note: Disk Encryption appears in the Security Menu only when a formatted, non‑defective printer hard
disk is installed.
2From the Disk encryption menu, select Enable.
Notes:
Enabling disk encryption will erase the content of the printer hard disk.
Disk encryption can take from several minutes to more than an hour, during which the printer will be
unavailable for other user tasks.
3Click Submit.
Using the printer control panel
1Turn off the printer.
2Hold down  and 6MNO while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the
progress bar appears.
The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Configuration menu appears. Once the printer is
fully powered up, the touch screen displays a list of functions, instead of standard home screen icons such
as Copy or Fax.
3To u c h  Disk Encryption > Enable.

4To u c h  Ye s to proceed with disk wiping.
A status bar will indicate the progress of the disk wiping task. After the disk has been encrypted, the printer
will return to the Enable/Disable screen.
Notes:
Do not turn off the printer during the encryption process. Doing so may result in loss of data. Securing the hard disk and other installed memory 225
