Automatic file system check
When you turn on the printer, you occasionally see a front panel display similar to the one shown
below.
A file system check is taking place; it can take up to 40 minutes. Please wait until it finishes.
CAUTION: If you turn the printer off before the file system check has finished, the file system could
be seriously damaged, making the printer's hard disk unusable. In any case, the file system check
restarts from the beginning whenever you turn the printer on.
