How can I determine if an all-in-one printer has a hard drive before I recycle it?

I want to get rid of an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax, though I want to make sure there is no internal hard drive or memory that might have saved some of the copies/faxes that I have sent over the years. I can't seem to find anything when I search online regarding this. Does anyone have any idea how I can figure out if there might be a drive or memory inside it?

Dell 1600n Multifunction Mono Laser Printer

Thanks!

these small printers only use RAM to temporary store your print job so it can print it or to store the scanned in doc so it can be saved.

once printed or saved the data is erased.

RAM does not retain any data once used or the device is turned off.

the only devices I know of that have a hard drive are large office print centers.
