The printer company Xerox points out that modern printers have a disk that can always be a conduit for data thieves. Therefore, the manufacturer has installed an encryption.

Network printer stopped finally before a lot of data for a long time and all that was ever printed on such a device, be reconstructed. On the other hand could give thieves access to sensitive on this point data such as passwords and finance - for example, by expanding the memory unit and read like any external hard drive.

Xerox was therefore appropriate in its systems encryption. But many customers were not aware of this and the danger was unknown to them, said Xerox with a report from the American magazine InformationWeek. Therefore, the Group will now try to point out in seminars and webinars. Xerox also offers training and consulting to customers and explain the proper use of encryption. Admins should see the printer as you would any other sensitive point in the network and manage them with, they said. Most of them regarded this as “stupid” output devices.
