Click the appropriate button for the type of connection: Direct or Network.
If you selected Direct, enter the MFP port and click OK. If you selected Network, type the IP
address and port for the MFP, and then click OK. The portal is disabled.

If the PIN number gets lost and the portal needs to be disabled, try using the default PIN listed
to disable it.

Secure Disk Erase

You might need to protect deleted data from unauthorized access on the MFP hard drive. Secure
Disk Erase is a security feature that you can use to securely erase print and copy jobs from the
hard drive.

Secure Disk Erase offers the following levels of disk security:

Non-Secure Fast Erase

This is a simple file-table erase function. Access to the file is removed, but actual data is retained
on the disk until it is overwritten by subsequent data-storage operations. This is the fastest mode.
Non-Secure Fast Erase is the default erase mode.

Secure Fast Erase

Access to the file is removed, and the data is overwritten with a fixed identical character pattern.
This is slower than Non-Secure Fast Erase, but all data is overwritten. Secure Fast Erase meets
the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M requirements for the clearing of disk media.

Secure Sanitizing Erase

This level is similar to the Secure Fast Erase mode. In addition, data is repetitively overwritten by
using an algorithm that prevents any residual data persistence. This mode will impact
performance. Secure Sanitizing Erase meets the U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22.M
requirements for the sanitization of disk media.

Data affected

Data affected (covered) by the Secure Disk Erase feature includes temporary files that are
created during the print and copying process, stored jobs, proof and hold jobs, disk-based fonts,
and disk-based macros (forms).

Note

Stored jobs will be securely overwritten only when they have been deleted through the

Retrieve

Job

menu on the MFP after the appropriate erase mode has been set. (See

Deleting a stored job

.)

This feature will not impact data that is stored on flash-based product non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM) that is used to store default settings, page counts, and similar data. This feature does
not affect data that is stored on a system RAM disk (if one is used). This feature does not impact
data that is stored on the flash-based system boot RAM.

Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode does not overwrite previous data on the disk, nor does it
immediately perform a full-disk sanitization. Changing the Secure Disk Erase mode changes
how the MFP cleans up temporary data for jobs after the erase mode has been changed.
