How to Format a Disk
After you have accessed the Administration/Disk Operations
menu, press the control panel keys in the order shown in the
following instructions to format a hard disk. The printer responds
by displaying a status message in the message window. You may
need to press the Next key one or more times to advance through
the list of selections or options. (The “#” symbol represents the disk
number).
NOTE: If the FORMAT FAILED message displays in the
message window during the Format Disk operation, the
disk cannot be used. Press the Menu key to remove the
message and contact your QMS vendor.
