Formatting the Hard Disk Drive

When installing a new hard drive (HDD) or when trying to restore an inoperative printer, you can
format the hard drive. Formatting the HDD writes over the disk allocation tables which point to where
information is stored on the drive. After you format the HDD, the printer can no longer access files
and settings that were on it. Use Format HDD to remove access to sensitive information when
moving the printer from your group.
Note: Formatting the HDD does not remove secure or sensitive files from the printer hard disk
drive, it only overwrites the allocation table. A formatted HDD still contains file and setting
information that can be retrieved. To remove all sensitive information from the HDD, erase and
overwrite the entire drive.
To format the HDD:
