HP Web Jetadmin - Storage Features

4
The HP Secure Erase feature will not impact data stored on:
 Flash-based non-volatile RAM that is used to store default printer settings, page counts, etc.
 A system RAM disk (if utilized)
 The flash-based system boot RAM
Changing the erase mode (Secure Sanitizing Erase, Secure Fast Erase, or Non-secure Fast 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 erase security
mode has been changed. To enable Secure Storage Erase, select Secure Storage Erase on the right
hand side of the screen after highlighting the printer from the Media selection on the View drop-down
menu (see Figure 4). The following Secure Erase Mode options are available for selection:
 Non-secure Fast Erase mode: Performs standard file system delete only (does not overwrite file
data)
 Secure Fast Erase mode: Performs a one pass overwrite of all data
 Secure Sanitizing Erase mode: Performs a three pass overwrite of all data
A device File System Password is required to be set on the device before a Secure Erase Mode
operation can be set. If a File System Password exists on the device and if it is not captured in HP
Web Jetadmin’s credential store, the user will be prompted for the password when attempting to set
the Secure Erase Mode. Device File System Passwords can be configured on the devices from HP
Web Jetadmin. When these are configured, they are also placed into the credential store. Global file
system credentials can be added to HP Web Jetadmin through Tools > Options > Shared > Credentials
> Device > File System (File System Password). These are used when no password exists in the store
and one is required by the device.
