Initializing All Data/Settings

 
You can restore all of the machine settings to the factory default setting. All data stored in the storage device is completely erased, preventing external leakage of confidential data when replacing or disposing of the storage device. Administrator privileges are required in order to perform initialization.
Before initializing, make sure that there are no documents being processed or waiting to be processed. These documents will be deleted when initialization is performed.
Do not turn OFF the machine during initialization. Doing so may lead to defects in the memory of the machine.
Initialization may take 30 minutes or more to complete. The machine cannot be used during the initialization process.
If you perform <Initialize All Data/Settings> when the Copy Card Reader is attached, it is necessary to reinstall the Copy Card Reader. For more information, contact your dealer or service representative.
