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.
1 Turn off the printer.
2 From 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.
3 Touch Disk Encryption > Enable.
Note: Enabling disk encryption erases the contents of the hard disk.
4 Touch 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.
5 Touch Back, and then exit the Configuration menu.
Note: The printer performs a power-on reset, and then returns to normal operating mode.

in the printer cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons. For more information, go to the
