• Hard disk memory—Some printers have a hard disk drive installed. The hard disk is designed for printer-
specific
functionality and cannot be used for long‑term storage of data that is not print-related. The hard
disk does not let users 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.
Erasing printer memory
To erase volatile memory, turn o the printer.
To erase nonvolatile memory, do the following:
1 From the control panel, navigate to Settings > Device > Maintenance > Out of Service Erase > Sanitize all
information on nonvolatile memory.
2 Select Sanitize all information on nonvolatile memory, and then select ERASE.
3 Follow the instructions on the screen.

3 Take a photo of the signed form, and then upload it to the Service Request debrief tool.
4 Fax or e-mail the signed form to the number or e-mail address shown at the bottom of the form.
Handling ESD‑sensitive parts

damage to ESD-sensitive parts, do the following:
• Turn o the printer before removing logic boards.
• Keep the parts in their original packing material until you are ready to install them into the printer.
