How to reinitialize the Hard Drive on the HP iMFP?

To perform a hard-disk initialization:

  1. Turn the MFP off and then on.

  2. When the memory count appears on the control panel display, press the right-hand side of the START button until all three LEDs are lit.  

  3. Release the START button.

  4. Press 5 one time. INITIALIZE DISK appears on the control-panel display. 5.  Press 6 one time. A series of asterisks appears on the control-panel display. Wait for the MFP to complete its initialization sequence.

    A hard-disk initialization erases and reformats the hard disk. Perform a hard-disk initialization only if an error message on the control panel indicates a disk error. Always try initializing the hard disk before replacing it.

    NOTE: Before performing a hard-disk initialization, print a menu map and a configuration page. Use the information on these pages to reset any customer specific settings.

    CAUTION: A hard-disk initialization deletes all stored copy jobs, the local address book (email addresses), the speed-dial list (fax numbers), and the Java™ applet files.
