Initialize All Data/Settings Function

The Initialize All Data/Settings function is a standard function on all
Canon devices. This setting is available in the Management Mode, to
which the System Administrator must authenticate. Performing this
function, erases all user information on the storage drive of the machine
(e.g., contact information, Advance Box client data, network settings,
and image data) up to nine times, depending on the Administrator
settings.
IMPORTANT
The Initialize All Data/Settings function deletes the FAT (File Allocation
Table) and overwrites the target storage drive data area with "0"
(zeroes) one time.
