Hi All
I have replaced my HP Premium 6700 printer/copier Do you know if it safe from a security perspective to sell it to printer company if they give you a certificate to say all your data has been wiped? if I do decide to destroy it what part should your remove to check data is destroyed
Thanks for your thoughts

Does it have scope for saving standard documents, or holding prints pending PIN entry? If not, I suspect it can't store anything that is a security concern.

it appears to have no drive in it so no worries.
on our MFDs at work we used to do a secure wipe of the drive freespace nightly and shred the drive when the printer was replaced or removed.
