Perform an Image Overwrite at the Machine
This procedure will overwrite the image data from the hard disk. This excludes Embedded Fax data, when
this feature is installed on the machine.
NOTE: All existing jobs (excluding Embedded Fax), regardless of their state, shall be deleted and all
job submission will be prohibited for the duration of the overwrite. The power on/off button will be
ignored during image overwrite.
IMPORTANT: The machine should not be in diagnostics mode when the Overwrite is started. (The
machine screen indicates a status of 'Diagnostics Mode'- this mode is used by a Customer Service
Representative when servicing the machine.) The machine should not be used to perform any jobs
and the power should not be switched off while an Overwrite is being performed.
