Auto Erase Memory
A document scanned in copier, or scanner mode, or print data sent from a printer driver is temporarily
stored on the machine's hard disk. Even after the job is completed, it remains in the hard disk as
temporary data. Auto Erase Memory erases the temporary data on the hard disk by writing over it.
Overwriting starts automatically once the job is completed.
The copier, fax and printer functions take priority over the Auto Erase Memory function. If a copy, fax or
print job is in progress, overwriting will only be done after the job is completed.
Overwrite icon
When Auto Erase Memory is set to [On], the Data Overwrite icon will be indicated in the bottom right
hand corner of the panel display of your machine.
