Subject: Volatility statement for Phaser 4500 series color printers
Phaser 4500 series printers do not retain any latent user image in the mechanical system of the printer during normal
operation. If a print job is disrupted prior to completion a latent image may exist in the mechanical systems of the
printer; the image may be removed by cycling power or printing a page.

Phaser 4500 series printers do not retain any latent image in the print controller (raster image processor) or
associated RAM following the completion of printing. No user data is maintained in the print controller or

Phaser 4500 series printers contain non-volatile flash memory contained on the controller. This memory does not
retain any variable printing data, but can be used to retain software updates, store fonts, etc.. No user information is
retained in this memory.
