Specific Operation - Oki LP-1040 Maintenance Manual

4.15 Specific Operation

If the printer cannot start due to hardware failure or another problem, you can still start it in
self-diagnostic mode.
The functions available in specific operation are as follows.
- HDD check function
- HDD format function
- Product key deletion (the product key should not be deleted unless expressly specified to do so)
Set the printer DIP switch SW1 to ON and start the printer to use specific operation.
Note
When the printer cannot start because a fatal error occurred during startup, and if you could
determine from the error code that the cause is the HDD, the problem can sometimes be
solved by executing HDD format in specific operation.
If the printer cannot be used anymore because all administrators have lost their password
when printer administration is activated, the problem can be solved by executing HDD format
in specific operation.
* Read the following notes as formatting the HDD has some negative effects.
