Statement of Volatility
Type of memory Description
Volatile memory The printer uses standard random access memory (RAM)
to buer 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.
Hard disk storage drive Some printers may have a hard disk drive installed. The
printer hard disk is designed for printer-specific
functionality. The hard disk lets the printer retain buered
user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font
data.
Intelligent storage drive (ISD) Some printers may have an ISD installed. ISD uses non-
volatile 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 printer hard disk or ISD is replaced.
• The printer is moved to a dierent department or location.
• The printer is serviced by someone from outside your organization.
