IMPORTANT
Before initiating the Initialize All Data/Settings mode, make sure that the data you are erasing is completely unnecessary. Note that Canon will not be liable for any damages resulting from the loss of data. If the Card Reader-C1/Copy Card Reader-F1 is attached to the machine, and does not operate properly after initializing the data, contact your local authorized Canon dealer. To prevent other users from accidentally erasing all the data on the memory, it is recommended to register a System Manager ID and System PIN so that only the System Manager can perform this procedure. Confirm that there are no current jobs being processed before using the Initialize All Data/Settings mode. Backup or export any necessary data before erasing the data in the machine. You can backup or export the following data: Data you can export using Remote UI Address book, device settings, Settings/Registration settings, printer settings, and paper information (For information on exporting data, see "Saving Address Book and Device Settings Information to a Computer (Export).") License files for MEAP applications (For information on downloading license files, see "Managing Application Licenses.")

Settings which can be sent using the Device Information Delivery mode (Can only be backed up if you have another machine with the Device Information Delivery mode. It is not necessary to back up this data if you want to use the data already registered in the other machine. For more information on the Device Information Delivery mode, see "Specifying Device Information Delivery Settings.")
