HP LaserJet Enterprise - Hard Disk Security Features available in HP FutureSmart firmware printers

2 Public
Overview
This document discusses secure erase options and hard disk security on HP FutureSmart Firmware printing
devices. The section of the disk containing job data can now be securely erased on demand, instead of
performing an entire disk wipe (See Erase Job Data). Industry standard ATA Secure Erase is an available
option which securely wipes all data including spared and reallocated sectors for decommissioning devices
(See Secure Disk Erase).
Secure Erase Commands
HP FutureSmart Firmware printing devices support four different data erase features to securely erase
ongoing job data, and for device decommissioning or redeployment.
1. Managing Temporary Job Files
The feature controls how temporary job files are erased at the completion of print, copy, fax, or digital
send jobs.
Temporary job files include:
o Temporary data for print jobs
o Temporary data for copy, fax, e-mail, and send to network folder jobs
The File Erase Modes available are:
o Non-secure Fast Erase (No overwrite)
o Secure Fast Erase (Overwrite 1 time)
o Secure Sanitizing Erase (Overwrite 3 times)
