The following are supported methods of hard drive data erase. Configuration of this setting is made

in service mode, by an Authorized Canon Service Technician.

A disk overwrite can also be forced by the device administrator through the System Settings option.

From Additional function screen, the administrator can select [On] or [Off] for Hard Disk Data

Complete Erase.

If [On] is selected, data from the hard disk will be erased completely. If [Off] is

selected the data will not be completely erased. The default setting is [Off].

Please refer to the Addendum for information on the optional HDD Data Erase Kit available for each

imageRUNNER/imagePRESS device.

Timing of Overwrite

The timing of the delete is sensitive to what mode and finishing options are set at the time of

print out. Generally, if a jam or other unexpected abnormal end to operation occurs on the

device, page data will be stored until the job can be completed and then overwritten on the

hard disk drive.

Please see below for examples of what occurs on the device in certain job modes using a job

consisting of three sets of three originals.

1. Copy/Print Mode:

a. Group Sort

When a user programs a job to be sorted into group sets with no finishing

specified, the page data would be overwritten every time a ‘set’ is complete.

b. Collate Sort

When a user programs a job to be sorted into collated sets with no finishing

specified, the page data would be overwritten as each page of the last set is

printed out.
