Before initiating the Initialize All Data/Settings mode, make sure that the data you are erasing is completely unnecessary. Note that Canon will not be liable for any damages resulting from the loss of data. If the Copy Card Reader-F1 is attached to the machine, and does not operate properly after initializing the data, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.

You can backup or export the following data: Data you can backup using the Remote UI Mail box settings, stored files in the mail box, stored files in the Advanced Box, and registered forms for Superimpose Image (For information on backing up data, see "Backing Up Stored Data.")
