Configuring printer hard disk encryption

Enable hard disk encryption to prevent loss of sensitive data in the event the printer or its hard disk is stolen.

Note: Some printer models may not have a printer hard disk installed.

Using the Embedded Web Server

  1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

    Notes:

  2. Click Settings > Security > Disk Encryption.

    Note: Disk Encryption appears in the Security Menu only when a formatted, non-defective printer hard disk is installed.
  3. From the Disk encryption menu, select Enable.

    Notes:

  4. Click Submit.

Using the printer control panel

  1. Turn off the printer.

  2. Hold down 2 and 6 while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the progress bar appears.

    The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Configuration menu appears. When the printer is fully turned on, a list of functions appears on the printer display.

  3. Touch Disk Encryption > Enable.

    Note: Enabling disk encryption will erase the contents of the printer hard disk.
  4. Touch Yes to proceed with disk wiping.

    Notes:

  5. Touch Back > Exit Config Menu.

The printer will perform a power-on reset, and then return to normal operating mode.
