Statement of Volatility

Type of memory
Description
Volatile memory
The printer uses standard random access memory (RAM) to buffer temporarily user data during simple print and copy jobs.
Nonvolatile memory
The printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory: EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types store the operating system, printer settings, and network information. They also store scanner and bookmark settings and embedded solutions.
Intelligent storage drive (ISD)
Some printers may have an ISD installed. ISD uses nonvolatile flash memory to store user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font data.
Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:
  • The printer is decommissioned.
  • The ISD is replaced.
  • The printer is moved to a different department or location.
  • The printer is serviced by someone from outside your organization.
  • The printer is removed from your premises for service.
  • The printer is sold to another organization.
To dispose a storage drive, follow the policies and procedures of your organization.
