You can update the encryption key and create a new key. Updates are possible when the printer is functioning normally.
The encryption key is required for recovery if the printer malfunctions. Be sure to store the encryption key safely for retrieving backup data.
When the encryption key is updated, encryption is performed using the new key. After completing the procedure on the printer's control panel, turn off the power and restart the printer to enable the new settings. Restarting can be slow when there is data to be carried over to the hard disk.
If the encryption key update was not completed, the printed encryption key will not be valid.
Log in as the machine administrator from the control panel.
Display the “Update Encryption Key” screen.
