This is not for the faint of heart.  Copiers digitally store all your confidential and personal information – and when you trade in your copier you are handing all of this information to someone you don’t know!  Never mind the security implications for MA Regulation 201 CMR 17.00 – but what about confidentiality.  Oy vey!

What to do?  Get a letter from the company taking the copier that they have wiped the hard drive in the copier, or find a company that will do this before you trade the unit in.
