Configure Secure Erase
Before enabling Secure Erase, verify the following:
•
Make sure that the imagePRESS Server is not receiving, processing, or printing files. If the system has just
finished processing, wait at least five seconds after the system reaches Idle before you proceed.
•
Print a Configuration page and check if Secure Erase is already enabled under Security Setup.
1 Make sure that Enable Printed Queue is off.
Note: If Enable Printed Queue is on, Secure Erase does not work.
2 In Configure, as Administrator, click Security > Secure Erase and then select Enable Secure Erase.
3 Click Save.
How Secure Erase works
When a job is deleted from the imagePRESS Server, the job cannot be viewed or retrieved using software provided
with the imagePRESS Server. However, if the job was spooled to the imagePRESS Server hard disk drive, elements of
the job may remain on the hard disk drive and can possibly be recovered with disk recovery tools.
Secure Erase clears job data securely from the hard disk drive after a job is deleted. When data is getting cleared,
each job file is overwritten three times.
Secure Erase applies to jobs only after they have been deleted.
It is not recommended to enable Secure Erase only on a single-file basis. Keep Secure Erase enabled at all times to
ensure that data security is properly enforced.
Job deletion
When you enable Secure Erase, the feature is applied whenever a job is deleted from a queue or when a user deletes a
job.
A job can be deleted in the following ways:
•
A job is automatically deleted from the Printed queue after the queue is full.
•
A user deletes the job from the Hold queue.
•
A user deletes the job from the Printed queue.
•
A completed print job is sent to the Direct connection.
•
A scan job is deleted based on Scan Setup.
•
A job is deleted when the user performs any of the Clear Server functions.
•
A user prints or deletes a Secure Print job.
