If trouble occurs when fonts or macros are downloaded from a personal computer to this machine and the problem cannot be resolved by reinstalling, follow the steps explained in this section to initialize the hard disk partition.

IMPORTANT

Only the system administrator for the machine can initialize the hard disk. Contact the system administrator to execute this procedure.
The font or macros information downloaded to the hard disk is deleted by initializing the hard disk.
Do not turn OFF the power when the hard disk is initializing. Doing so may damage the machine.

NOTE

The hard disk cannot be initialized in the following conditions:
When print data is being received or printed. (It is recommended that you remove the cable connecting the machine to the hub, so it does not receive print data.)
When fonts are being installed or uninstalled.
The steps explained below are for initializing the PCL Hard Disk partition.
