• Hard disk memory—Some printers have a hard disk drive installed. The printer hard disk is designed for
printer-specific
functionality and cannot be used for the long‑term storage of data that is not print-related.
The hard disk does not provide the capability for users to extract information, create folders, create disk or
network file shares, or transfer FTP information directly from a client device. The hard disk can retain buered
user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font data.
The following parts can store memory:
• Printer control panel
• User interface controller card (UICC)
• Controller board
• Optional hard disks
Note: The printer control panel and controller board contain NVRAM.
