Select the e-shredding algorithm

Introduction

The e-shredding function allows you to securely erase jobs from the system. This prevents unauthorised people from accessing deleted jobs.

You can select one of the following algorithms:

[Gutmann].

All jobs on the system are erased in 35 overwrite passes.
[DoD 5220.22-M].

All jobs on the system are erased in three overwrite passes.
[Custom] allows you to define the number of passes manually.

The factory default is [DoD 5220.22-M].

NOTE

Only set the number of overwrite passes to a number higher than 1, if your security policy requires it. An increase of passes can affect the performance.

Procedure

Open the [Security] - [Configuration] tab.
Click on [Edit] in the upper right hand corner of the [E-shredding] section.
Select the preferred method for the [E-shredding algorithm].
Click Ok to confirm.
