Xerox Phaser 3500 Printers 

Statement of Volatility 

Phaser 3500 series printers do not retain any latent user image in the mechanical 

system of the printer during normal operation. If a print job is disrupted prior to 

completion a latent image may exist in the mechanical systems of the printer; the image 

may be removed by cycling power or printing a page. 

Phaser 3500 series printers do not retain any latent image in the print controller (raster 

image processor) or associated RAM following the completion of printing.  No user data 

is maintained in the print controller or associated RAM following the cycling of power. 

Phaser 3500 series printers contain 16MB non-volatile nand flash memory on the 

controller for the storage of printer firmware and 4MB non-volatile flash memory for the 

storage of Fonts, Forms and Macros.  These modules do not retain any variable printing 

data and no user information is retained in this memory. 

The chart below shows the corresponding memory types for the Xerox Phaser 3500 

series printers.
