Cautions When Requesting Repairs, Leasing,
Transferring Ownership, and Disposing of the
Printer
If personal information is registered with the printer or
security information such as passwords are set on the
printer, that information may remain inside the printer.
To prevent information leaks, reset the settings (to the
factory default state), before the printer is temporarily out
of your hands such as for getting it repaired or leased,
or before the printer is transferred to another owner or
disposed of. For instructions, refer to "When Repairing,
Lending, or Disposing of the Printer" in the Online Manual.
