  • Operating system
  • Kernel version
  • Platform name
  • Device attributes
  • Disk geometry
  • Partitioning information

This is useful when disk reports are required immediately for each disk; the batch does not need to complete before the report is issued.

Default printer
Select printer to be used exclusively to print certificate
Always print certificate
Use this options to automatically print erase certificate right after erasure completed.
Skip print preview
Disable in-build system print preview dialog and print certificate immediately when requested.
