Erasing printer memory

To erase volatile memory or buffered data in your printer, turn off the printer.
To erase nonvolatile memory, device and network settings, security settings, and embedded solutions, do the
following:
1
From the home screen, touch Settings > Device > Maintenance > Out of Service Erase.
2
Touch the Sanitize all information on nonvolatile memory check box, and then touch ERASE.
3
Touch Start initial setup wizard or Leave printer offline, and then touch Next.
4

Note: This process also destroys the encryption key that is used to protect user data. Destroying the
encryption key makes the data irrecoverable.

4
Start the operation.
Note: The process to sanitize the hard disk can take from several minutes to more than an hour, making the
printer unavailable for other tasks.
