Canceling Data Encryption - Ricoh Pro C9100 Operating Instructions Manual

13. Turn off the main power switch, and then turn on the main power switch again.
The machine will start to convert the data on the memory after you turn on the machine. Wait until
the message "Memory conversion complete. Turn the main power switch off." appears, and then
turn the main power switches off again.
For details about turning off the main power, see "Turning On/Off the Power", Getting Started.

Canceling Data Encryption

Use the following procedure to cancel the encryption settings when encryption is no longer necessary.
Enabling and disabling the encryption settings takes equally long.
• The machine cannot be used while data encryption is being cancelled.
• After completing this procedure on the machine's control panel, turn off the main power and restart
the machine to enable the new settings. Restarting can be slow when there is data to be carried
over to the hard disk.
• Once the canceling of data encryption starts, it cannot be stopped. Make sure that the machine's
main power is not turned off while the encryption process is in progress. If the machine's main
power is turned off while the encryption process is in progress, the hard disk will be damaged and
all data on it will be unusable.
• When disposing of a machine, completely erase the memory. For details about erasing all the
memory, see page 63 "Deleting Data on the Machine".
