I am an Analyst that installs brand "X" =;-> multi-function devices for a living. The data is only accessible from the HDD if it is removed from the machine, then put into a Linux box. On top of that, they have very little data cached on them because the storage are is samll ad gets written over when full.

If you are that worried, buy the drive from the company you leased it from, and destroy it.]]>Mar 17th 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/17/your-office-photocopier-could-help-steal-your-identity/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/17/your-office-photocopier-could-help-steal-your-identity/receiving tray (2screws), the cover over the logic board (4 screws)
pull the logic board, (14 connectors, 2 screws, 2 plastic stand offs), THEN, pull the hard drive (4 screws, 2 connectors).

As with the other posters, this is just being "hyped" by Sharp, to promote their "data overwrite" software which overwrites the hard drive after your copy/fax/scan/print job is finished.
Heck, the machines we sell/work on have had either scrambler boards, data encryption, or data overwrite features for years.
I don't know what the big deal is, other than trying to panic
