Configuring printer hard disk encryption

Enable hard disk encryption to prevent loss of sensitive data in the event the printer or its hard disk is stolen.

Note: Some printer models may not have a hard disk installed.

1Turn off the printer.

2From the control panel, hold down 2 and 6 while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the progress bar appears.

3Touch Disk Encryption > Enable.

Note: Enabling disk encryption erases the contents of the hard disk.

4Touch Yes to proceed with disk wiping.

Notes:

Do not turn off the printer during the encryption process. Doing so may result in loss of data.

Disk encryption can take from several minutes to more than an hour, during which the printer is unavailable for other user tasks.

A status bar indicates the progress of the disk wiping task. After the disk is encrypted, the printer returns to the Enable/Disable screen.

5Touch Back, and then exit the Configuration menu.

Note: The printer performs a power-on reset, and then returns to normal operating mode.
