Introduction This document describes how to configure print and imaging devices with HP’s Secure File Erase using Web Jetadmin 10.2. The Secure File Erase feature ensures that any part of a fax, copy, digital send, or print job is securely removed from the device. There are 3 options: Nonsecure fast erase (erases indexes only), Secure fast erase (overwrites data), and Sanitizing erase (overwrites data multiple times).

o Personal Job (deleted when printed or system reset) o Proof and Hold (deleted when printed or system reset) • Stored Faxes (deleted when printed) Secure Storage Erase Secure Storage Erase will always use a secure erase mode, either Secure Fast Erase or Secure Sanitizing Erase, defaulting to Secure Fast Erase if Non-secure Fast is the currently configured erase mode.

Secure Sanitizing Erase mode meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M specification using a succession of multiple data overwrites. For Secure Sanitizing Erase, each deleted file is overwritten with: • the fixed character pattern (binary 01001000). • the compliment of the fixed character pattern (binary 10110111). • a random character: o A 32k byte buffer of random characters is generated for each file delete operation using the device’s unique uptime as the seed.
