Product: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw

I want to recycle my printer, but I cannot do a cold reset to remove all sensitive information that has been scanned on it over time. Please help me. I do not see any way that the system gives me any options for resetting this machine. This is a LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw.

There is no scan or print data stored in the printer.

 

For reset you need to press and hold right arrow and cancel button on the screen and turn the printer ON. Keep buttons pressed and you will get a permanent storage message on the screen.
