Printer Front Panel access: Once you have entered into the “Service Menu” with the help of an HP
Support representative, you can perform the Secure Disk Erase using the same 3 options that you have in
Web JetAdmin. Note that the name of the feature in the front panel is Disk Wipe DoD 5220.220M, and the
three options are called “Insecure Mode”, “1-pass mode” and “5-pass mode”.
Before you start the erase operation, you must first select the security level (sometimes referred to as sanity level).
The printer will then warn you that the erase operation is a process which deletes all data and takes a long time. Once
you accept, the printer will begin the process, and displays a progress bar until complete. All data will be wiped using
the selected method, and the printer’s firmware will be restored to the latest version installed before this operation.
The following screens show how to perform a secure hard disk erase on the HP Designjet T2300 printer.
