In high‑security environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to make sure that conﬁdential data

stored in the printer hard disk cannot be accessed when the printer—or its hard disk—is removed from your

premises.

• Degaussing—Flushes the hard disk with a magnetic ﬁeld that erases stored data

• Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable

• Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits

Note: Most data can be erased electronically, but the only way to guarantee that all data is completely

erased is to physically destroy each hard disk where data is stored.

buered data, simply turn o the printer.
