CanoScan LiDE 220 - How to clear memory of scan and fax data

[Baltus]

In preparing to recycle my CanoScan LiDE 220 scanner, I want to clear any residual scan and/or fax data from its memory. However, I am unable to find instructions on how to do so for this particular device. As far as I can tell, neither the owner's manual nor the IJ scanner software addresses doing a factory reset or other memory-clearing procedure. I would appreciate receiving guidance from a product expert on this matter. Thank you.

Hi,

The LIDE 220 does not save any of your scans on the scanner itself. It does not have a hard drive and only has volatile memory that clears when it's unplugged.

Hi,

Is the same true for CanoScan LiDE 300 and 400 models?

Arthur, 

Does the Canoscan 9000f save scans or is it like the above-referenced scanner in that it does not have a hard drive and therefore clears when it is unplugged?

HI MaryB1,

The CanoScan 9000F does not have a memory in which previous scans are saved.  There is nothing to clear when the scanner is unplugged, as the scanner is not capable of retaining that information.
