Digital copiers are smarter than you think

Commercial copiers have come a long way. Today's generation of digital copiers are "smart" machines that are used to copy, print, scan, fax and email documents. Digital copiers require hard disk drives to manage incoming jobs and workloads, and to increase the speed of production.

The hard drive in a digital copier stores data about the documents it copies, prints, scans, faxes or emails. If you don't take steps to protect that data, it can be stolen from the hard drive, either by remote access or by extracting the data once the drive has been removed. Digital copiers store different types of information in different ways. For example, photocopied images are more difficult to access directly from the hard drive than documents that are faxed, scanned or printed on the copier.
