This feature is displayed when [Allow Job Viewing at All Times] or [Require Login to View
Jobs] is selected.
Select either [No] or [Yes].
Overwrite Hard Disk
Select whether or not to conduct hard disk overwriting.
When copy, fax, scan, or print processing is completed, the data is deleted from the hard disk
and the area on which the deleted data was stored is automatically overwritten with blank
data. This feature prevents unauthorized retrieval or restoration of the data recorded on the
hard disk. It also applies to copy document and other information stored temporarily by the
system.
The following option can be configured.
Number of Overwrites
You can select the number of overwrites either once or three times.
Important • If the machine is turned off during the overwriting, unfinished files may remain on the hard
disk. The overwriting will resume if you turn the machine on again with the unfinished files
remaining on the hard disk.
• Overwriting once erases the data, but overwriting three times makes it even more definite
that the data cannot be restored. It does, however, take longer.
• During overwriting, normal operations may be slowed down.
Note • An optional component is required to use this feature. For more information, contact our
Customer Support Center.
For more information on how to check the status during overwriting, refer to "Overwrite Hard Disk"
(P.96).

To protect the data deleted from or stored on the hard disk, the following settings are
required:

- Service Representative Restricted Operation: [Yes]
z
Change the system administrator's factory default passcode (x-admin). Register a new
passcode of 7 characters or more (maximum 12 characters). Be careful not to register a
passcode that can be easily assumed and not to store the registered passcode on a location
that is easily accessible to other persons.
Important • If the system administrator's user ID and passcode are forgotten, the machine configuration
will not be able to recover in case of malfunction.
z
Set [Passcode Entry from Control Panel] to [On].
z
Set [Maximum Login Attempts] to 5 times.
