This is one of the many news segments that have been aired over the last few months on the subject of digital copiers and what information they store inside of them. This, as well as all of the others, is loaded with truth and facts. Any one with common knowledge of the inner workings of computers knows that they have the ability to store information on their hard drives. You can create a document and save it to your computer. The same goes for all digital copiers.
To say that copier dealers like us were blindsided by this wouldn't be completely fair. There was a collective 'Aaah...didn't think of that!' throughout our office when we watched the videos. We immediately contacted Canon USA to find out as much information on this as possible. We spoke with IT professionals to get a clear picture of what is really going on and what dangers their really are for our customers copied information. We have established this list of FAQ's and solid facts based off what we have found and from the several inquiries we have received from our customers. We will be adding to this list as needed so please bookmark this link to refer back to or to pass along to your colleagues.

Is it true that my copier stores digital images of what I copy on its hard drive?
If you do in fact own a digital copier, then the answer is yes. Most copiers manufactured after 2002 are digital.
