for relatively fast erasure. Because only the file management data is erased, the print job data itself

is not erased.

does not allow you to read and use data saved in the past safely and fast. Select to erase highly

confidential data.

encryption key specified for the hard disk drive is erased. Verification is performed to check if the

impossible to recover the overwritten data. Conforms to the DoD5220.22-M standard of the U.S.
