I also know from calling Xerox technical support that the recall option CAN BE disabled if the person is savvy enough to do it. So, it depends on the machine and the store staff I guess.

Can they be configured to not allow recall? If so, maybe some just aren't being reconfigured. Maybe this is an old store issue. Or maybe it is a new store issue (that would be bad).

This is a problem with any MFP (multi function printer) that digitally stores copied or scanned documents. All of the Kinko's stores I have personally been in have machines with this capability, so I assume that most of their stores across the country do too. However, this problem is not limited to Kinko's. Any store or copy center that offers these types of machines also exposes its customers to this threat. Any person who uses the machine after you can access the information stored on the internal hard disk if it is not cleared properly. If you have to use a public MFP, the best bet is to ask a store employee to help you clear all the stored data from the machine as soon as you are done using it. Great question jkb!
