    HDD wipe

    Evening,

    We are Kyocera & Konica Minolta dealers and have won an account where we need to wipe the memory and hhd on 3 old(ish) Canons. The models concerned are:
    5240i
    5235
    5030

    We know nothing about Canons. If someone could PM me the instructions i'd appreciate it.

    Thanks...
    The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

          Initializing All Data/Settings

          If this mode is performed, the following data stored in the machine are completely erased. It is not normally necessary to use this mode, but it is useful to erase personal or confidential information when returning or disposing of the machine.

          [Favorite Settings] registered for the Copy, Store/Access Files, and Send functions
          MEAP applications and license files
          Data saved from MEAP applications
          The password for the SMS (Service Management Service) login service of MEAP
          (If you changed the password, it returns to the default password.)
          User authentication information registered in the Local Device Authentication system of SSO-H (Single Sign-On H)
          Unsent documents (reserved documents and documents set with the Delayed Send mode)
          Job history
          Settings/Registration settings
          Forms registered for the Superimpose Image mode
          Registered forwarding settings

              If you want to be sure you have wipped ALL data from the HDD, remove the drive from the copier, fit it in a HDD caddy then format the drive in Windows.

                  Not 100% true, you can undelete/unwipe any disk if you do a plain format... create a Wipe CD with G-Disk (How to perform a hard disk wipe using the Ghost utility called GDisk)
                  and you'll be 90% sure. For 100% sure use a certified wipetool (costs $) like 'Youwipe'...

                  Wipetools erase data by overwriting it several times with 1's and 0's
