Q: I have a Brother’s Wireless MFC-8890DW all-in-one. How long is data stored on the memory of my all in one? If I am printing confidential information on my wireless printer, is my printer vulnerable to hackers?

    This printer only has RAM. When the printer is turned off any data in the RAM vanishes and cannot be recovered.

    If you’re printing wirelessly I would suggest making sure that you are using an encrypted wifi connection.
