Factory Defaults Restore
Do Not Restore
This menu item is used to return most of the control panel settings back to their factory
settings.
When you choose to restore the factory default settings:
• All downloaded resources (fonts, macros, symbol sets) in printer memory (RAM) are
deleted. (Resources residing in flash memory or on hard disk are unaffected.)
• All menu settings are returned to the factory default values
except
:
– Display Language
– Job Buffer Size
– All settings in the Parallel Menu, Serial Menu, Fax Menu, Network Menu, USB Menu,
Infrared Menu, and LocalTalk Menu.
Note:
An asterisk (*) appears next to the factory default value for each of the menu items
listed in this chapter.
Format Flash
Ye s
No
Formatting flash memory deletes all resources (fonts, macros) stored in flash memory and
prepares flash memory to receive new resources. You may want to select Print Directory
before you format the flash memory to determine what resources, if any, are stored in flash.
The Format Flash menu item is not displayed if the flash memory is Read/Write or Write
protected.
Warning:
If you select Format Flash and then press
Go
,
any data stored in flash memory is
lost.
Do not turn the printer off while the flash is formatting.
Defragment Flash
Ye s
No
Defragmentation offers a method where the user can reclaim the space occupied by a deleted
resource without reformatting the entire flash memory device. During defragmentation the
printer firmware copies all undeleted resources to printer memory, and then reformats the
flash. Once the format operation is complete, the firmware loads all the undeleted resources
back on the flash memory.
The defragment flash menu item is not displayed if the installed option is defective or is Read/
Write or Write protected.
