Removal
Removal
■ Overview
• User data kept by the machine contains address books and inbox documents that users
can recognize.
• By using the copy, print, or send function, there is also information left on the HDD of
MFPs that is generally not recognizable but can be recovered as documents. (Refer to the
illustration on the next page.)
• For security, the UI menu is provided to delete data on FLASH PCB and perform overwrite
deletion to render user data on HDD unrecoverable.
● User data delete
• To delete user data, execute Settings/Registration > System Management > Initialize All
Data/Settings in UI menu. Performing Initialize All Data/Settings returns UI menu setting
values to their factory defaults.
• Usually, one overwrite is enough. Note that increasing the number of overwrite increases
the time required for the deletion operation.
Note:
• When you perform Initialize All Data/Settings, license and data of MEAP application are
initialized to the state same as when the HDD is replaced. If MEAP application may be
used by other users after the machine is removed, disable the MEAP application and
uninstall it in advance.
• Performing Initialize All Data/Settings does not delete the license of the system option.
● Deletion of Service Mode Settings
The user mode setting values may have been changed at the user's request. In that case, the
service mode setting values should be changed back to the default values before removing
the machine.
Appendix > Removal > Removal > Work Procedure
■ Work Procedure
If the user uses MEAP applications, ask the user to uninstall the MEAP applications if
necessary.
● User data delete procedure
Settings/Registration > System Management > Initialize
Select a deletion mode
If the user has not given any instruction on which item in the deletion mode should be used,
select the default "Once with 0 (Null) Data".
Note:
• When all the data are initialized, the user data on the HDD and the user data on the Flash
PCB are deleted. For the items to be deleted, refer to the backup list.
• Performing "Initialize All Data" turns auto gradation adjustment values and TPM settings
to OFF. Therefore, to enable normal operation the next time, the operation performed at
installation is necessary.
• Performing Initialize All Data/Settings does not delete the license of the system option.
