Digital photocopiers have data storage capabilities that retain information.  It is possible that every single document copied, printed, or scanned might be stored in the copier’s hard drive.  Even an image of a copied or scanned document might be stored.  Copier hard drives are in many ways no different from computer hard drives.  They require complete data cleansing prior to release from the current user. 

The information is stored within memory locations such as the copier hard drive, IP address, fax address book, email address book, and mailboxes.  Additionally, in some hard drives with system software and image data, information cannot be erased unless data is removed appropriately. 

Ross RSC’s data eradication services follow OEM guidelines and have been developed over time.  Complete data destruction services are also available, with certification, if required.
