Figure 14—Secure File Erase option in configuration

•

Secure File Erase erases files on a

continuous basis as soon as they

are no longer needed to perform

the requested function. This

feature controls the way a device

deletes its files on an ongoing

basis and is set in the File System

category under Configuration

(see Figure 14). The mode in

which a device can erase its files

can be set to non-secure fast

erase, secure fast erase, or

secure sanitize.

• Secure Storage Erase removes all

non-essential data from storage

devices in a manner consistent

with preparation for

decommissioning or redeployment. This operation can be initiated on demand or scheduled for a

later time. Secure Storage Erase is a device feature which can be invoked from the Storage tab

on any device list for one or many devices. This device feature, once invoked, clears all user files

from the disk in one of the three erase modes.

HP Secure Erase technology provides a choice of three different modes of erase security, each of

which can be configured by an administrator and may be protected from unauthorized changes with

a password. The three erase security modes are:

• Secure Sanitizing Erase: Conforms to the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M specification for

deleting magnetically stored data. This mode uses multiple data overwrites to eliminate trace

magnetic data and also prevents subsequent analysis of the hard disk drive’s physical platters for

data retrieval.

• Secure Fast Erase: This mode completes the erasure faster than Secure Sanitize mode. Secure Fast

Erase mode overwrites the existing data once, and prevents software-based undelete operations

on the data.

• Non-secure Fast Erase: The quickest of the three erasing modes, this mode marks the print job

data as deleted, and allows the MFP’s operating system to reclaim and subsequently overwrite the

data when needed.

Other access controls

Managing device credentials and passwords primarily prevents unauthorized management and

configuration. The following areas describe other ways of protecting devices.

NOTE Not all device security features are covered in this document.

HP Jetdirect IPsec plug-in

HP Web Jetadmin offers plug-in packages through Application Update that add functionality. One of

these is the IPsec plug-in, which is used to manage security policies on HP Jetdirect print servers. This

can be obtained directly through the Application Management > Application Update view when the

application is capable of communication with hp.com. Alternatively, users can download the

application update package file from the Support and Drivers page on
