DeleteCopier data method
1. Connect a computer connected to the same network to the copier and install disk cleaning software. Find and double-click the “setup.exe” that comes with the file software. This file will be on the installation disk or can be downloaded from the software manufacturer’s website. Double click on the “setup.exe” file and once the software is installed, the automatic installation process will begin and stop.
2. Execute the scrubbing software. Depending on the type of software you are using, once launched, the software will search all hard drives on the network.
3. Select the hard drive of the copier to scrub. If you have a computer or device with several hard drives, make sure you choose the correct hard drive. Once you start the washing process, your data will be deleted and cannot be recovered.
4. Select “Options” and start the washing process. Options typically include a full disk scrub or an open disk space scrub. The safest option is to scrub, and therefore wipe, the entire drive.
5. Unplug the copier from its power supply, network and fax lines. Once the drive has been scrubbed, disconnect all machines from power immediately to avoid the copier receiving extra information.
How to prevent copiers from leaking
1, Choose copiers without hard drives
From the point of view of information security, there is no need for users to blindly pursue high-configuration and multi-function digital copiers. Copiers without hard disks are the safest. Because the copier with the hard disk is formatted, the data still exists in the hard disk.
2, Do not save or clear information in timeCopier with hard disk
If you choose a copier with a hard disk, try not to save or clear the information in time when using it. For confidential data, it is best to use a professional decryption method, such as using a professional degaussing device to completely clear the hard disk space and replacement space. The processed hard disk can still be used, but the disadvantage is that compared with the unit price of the hard disk, its decryption the cost is too high.
3. Restriction of after-sales service
Some copiers have a warning label attached to the casing of the built-in hard disk before they leave the factory. Smooth warranty and maintenance.
