HDD / NVRAM / DIMMS - Differences

[Caveman]

Would like to request a brief, and accurate explanation of the functions that the HDD / NVRAM & DIMMS serve during the copy cycle. Trying to gain a better understanding of the specific role each of these components play during the copy process.

If anyone is willing to share their knowledge - in laymans terms - the help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you -

HDD holds the address book for destinations like email, fax and user codes. It also saves images as a document server. It also holds a completed image which is then funneled to the laser for printing and to the CPU for such functions as duplexing, sorting, etc. RAM does the same but it is empted after one completed copy
thats as simple as I can get it.

The NVRAM holds certain information about the copier, such as serial number and copy count. each time a copy is made, the count information such as copy, print, color, black and white, etc, is written to the NVRAM.
DIMMS are memory modules and allow the machine to perform certain functions such as print/scan etc. In older machines, in order to do other functions such as fax, scan, print, postcript, DOSS, a DIMM was installed. It holds a set of instructions for the mmachine. In newer machines, these are either built into the controller or on an SD card.
