Securing the printer

Using the security lock feature

The printer is equipped with a security lock feature. Attach a security lock compatible with most laptop computers in the location shown to secure the printer in place.

Statement of Volatility

Your printer contains various types of memory that can store device and network settings, and user data.

Type of memory Description

Volatile memory Your printer uses standard random access memory

(RAM) to temporarily buer user data during simple print jobs.

Non-volatile memory Your printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:

EEPROM and NAND (ﬂash memory). Both types are used to store operating system, device settings, and network information.

Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:

• The printer is being decommissioned.

• The printer is being moved to a dierent department or location.

• The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization.

• The printer is being removed from your premises for service.

• The printer is being sold to another organization.

Using M1145 63

Erasing volatile memory

The volatile memory (RAM) installed in your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the buered data, turn o the printer.

Erasing non‑volatile memory

Erase individual settings, device and network settings, security settings, and embedded solutions by following these steps:

1 Turn o the printer.

2 Hold down 2 and 6 on the keypad while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen

with the progress bar appears. The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Conﬁguration menu appears. When the printer is

fully turned on, a list of functions appears on the printer display.

3 Press the up or down arrow button until Wipe All Settings appears.

The printer will restart several times during this process.

Note: Wipe All Settings securely removes device settings, solutions, jobs, and passwords from the printer memory.

4 Navigate to:

Back > Exit Conﬁg Menu

The printer will perform a power‑on reset, and then return to normal operating mode.

Finding printer security information

In high-security environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to make sure that stored in the printer cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons. For more information, visit the

Lexmark security Web page.

You can also see the Embedded Web Server — Security: Administrator’s Guide for additional information:
