Erase All Memory
You can initialize the machine's memory. When the optional hard disk is installed, you can also erase all the data on the hard disk by overwriting it.
For details about using the machine after executing Erase All Memory, contact your sales representative.
If the main power switch is turned off before "Erase All Memory" is completed, overwriting will be stopped and data will be left on the hard disk.
Do not stop the overwrite mid-process. Doing so will damage the hard disk.
We recommend that before you use the Erase All Memory function, you use Device Manager NX to back up the user codes, the counters for each user code, and the Address Book. The Address Book can also be backed up using a web browser from networked computers. (We use Web Image Monitor installed on this machine.) For details, see Device Manager NX Help or Web Image Monitor Help.
The only operation possible during the "Erase All Memory" process is pausing. When "Random Numbers" is selected and it is set to overwrite three times, the "Erase All Memory" process takes up to 2 hours and 56 minutes.
The "Erase All Memory" function also clears the machine's security settings, so that neither machine nor user administration will be possible. Ensure that users do not save any data on the machine after "Erase All Memory" has completed.
