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 Storage Erase overwrites the entire disk including
• Job Storage documents (even though they have not been retrieved)
• Stored Faxes (even though they have not been retrieved)
• Installed 3rd party solutions
• Installed fonts
Secure Storage Erase will not impact
• Flash-based non-volatile RAM containing default printer settings, page counts, etc.
• Flash-based system boot RAM
• Configuration settings for Digital Sending and Authentication when stored on the system
hard disk.
Note: After a Secure Storage Erase completes, the file structure is re-established and the above
disk based configurations are restored.
Default Setting
Prior to the introduction of Secure Erase technology, all HP printing devices used a method
similar to the Non-Secure Fast Erase method for file delete operations. The default erase mode
on supported devices is Non Secure Fast Erase. Change the “File Erase Mode” setting from the
factory default to benefit from HP Secure Erase Technology’s additional security.
Changing the file erase mode from Non-Secure Fast Erase to Secure Fast Erase or Secure
Sanitizing Erase does not overwrite previously stored data on the disk, nor does it immediately
perform a full Secure Storage Erase. Changing the erase mode dictates how the MFP erases
data after the file erase mode has been changed.
Specifications
Secure Fast Erase mode meets the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special
Publication 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization.
For Secure Fast Erase, each deleted file’s data is overwritten once with:
• the hexadecimal character 0x48.
