Abstract
A multi-function peripheral (MFP) device having enhanced security for processed data is disclosed. The MFP includes both a non-volatile memory and a volatile memory. The MFP also includes a user interface configured to allow a user to prevent data from being stored on the non-volatile memory. The MFP further includes a processor or a switch configured to disable access to the non-volatile memory. The MFP blocks data from being stored on its non-volatile memory upon a user's selection via the user interface. The data is only temporarily stored on the volatile memory, and is erased after processing. This configuration prevents others from having access to the data.
