Deleting Hp 8600 Officejet memory prior to disposal

PrintQ2 · ‎05-13-2016

I have heard that printers keep documents that were printed or copies in memory. My HP Officejet Pro 8600 is broken and I wantto know how to delete it's memory prior to rrecycling it.

Thank you.

There are printer models that have a hard drive and can store print jobs, but the Officejet Pro 8600 does not. Make sure there are no memory cards plugged into the lower left front.

The one thing the printer may store beyond a power cycle would be the wireless settings and the FAX log. You can clear these from the front panel - go to the wireless setup wizard and the FAX setup wizard and put in dummy data.
