Eraze or wipe hard drive on HP laserJet 1320

Guys,

We are trading in some of our printers and I'm looking to wipe anything stored on HP LaserJet 1320
HP states that upon returning or trading in a printer they will wipe the hard drive or crush it.
Just wondering what would be the best way of going about erasing the data yourself. I just don't feel comfortable sending thi sthing in and hoping that somebody will eventually erase it.
Please provide step by step instructions if possible..., I wasn't able to find any info on how to erase the data other then just trashing the printer and the drive.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Frosty555,

That`s what I thought also, but then HP also lists secure erase and they explicitly listed laserjet 1320
So, I thought, perhaps there is something  in it. Go figure... I will just do a hard reset on it.

Thanks
Thanks guys.
