PIXMA MG6821

I need to dispose of this printer.  Before doing that, I want to  be sure I'm not leaving personal information on it.  Does this model have either an internal memory or SIM card?  If so, how do I erase information before discarding?

Thank you.

Hi lynnt,

The PIXMA MG6821 does not have internal memory that sotres any of the printing, scanning or copying that has been performed.
