    IR C3220 HDD Format

    We are mainly a Sharp dealer and have a Canon IRC3220 as a trade in which we are going to donate.
    What is the SC to format the HDD and how do I access the SCs? Thanks in advance.

          You can format some of the HDD partitions, but this just deletes the file registry. It will not wipe the HDD clean.

          Press * (additional functions), press 2+8 simultaneously, then press * (additional functions) again. You should see service mode now, press Copier->Function->System.
          Select CHK-TYPE. Press 1 and hit OK.
          Select HD-CLEAR. Press OK.

          Select CHK-TYPE. Press 2 and hit OK.
          Select HD-CLEAR. Press OK.

          Select CHK-TYPE. Press 3 and hit OK.
          Select HD-CLEAR. Press OK.

          1=image storage partition, 2=general file storage partition, 3=PDL file storage partition. 4=firmware partition and 0=all partitions, but 0 or 4 won't work from service mode. You can select them and do the clear but no formatting will actually happen.

          NMFaxMan had a good suggestion, buy a preloaded HDD from Nationwide repair service and give them their old one.

              Thanks D_L_P, I wanted to clear any document storage that the previous customer had saved.
