Formatting
You can format the hard disk built in the Product.
1) Click the Format button in the hard disk operation screen.
2) Select an appropriate formatting option, then click the OK button.
Set an appropriate formatting option.
Normal formatting: Updates only control information on the data stored in the hard disk. The data may
be reproduced using commercially available restoration software.
Overall formatting: Deletes all the data on the hard disk. It takes much time as all the data on the hard
disk is replaced.
When disposing of or assigning the Product, or when wanting to delete the entire
data, select the overall formatting.
3) Click the OK button.
Formatting starts.
