What do you mean by held?
Held, as in it can be reprinted or resent from the control panel or web interface? No.
Held, as in plugging the HDD into another computer, scanning certain partitions of the HDD, then converting the data back into images? Sure, it can be done.

Re: Sharp mxm 623n

What type of scan are we talking about? If it was a scan to email, the email might still be in your attorney's sent email folder, for the email address used by the copier. If it's scan to folder, maybe it's in his Recycle Bin on his computer.

Otherwise you're probably out of luck. I don't think scans are stored on the copier's hard drive unless you actually scan it to the hard drive. At most they'd be inside some undocumented temporary cache file that'd get overwritten after the next scan. You can't just plug the Sharp HDD into your computer either since it uses a proprietary filesystem. You'd have to contact Sharp to get a definitive answer whether it's theoretically possible (to retrieve off the copier HDD), and then probably spend thousands in specialized data recovery services.

Sounds like an important document. No guarantees but there's a good chance you can recover the image from it.
Pull the HDD from the copier. Find where the network jack plugs in and the HDD will be close behind the cover.
Plug it into a computer that has software capable of recovering lost or deleted data/pictures.
Copiers use several partitions, just like Linux os's. One of those partitions is a swap file partition. The emails/prints/scans are spooled there and hopefully hasn't been written over. Unless they have the encryption kit the software should be capable of finding "lost" images the same as if it were scanning an Android phone or camera.
IIRC, home key, firmware, P * C * will get in service mode. I think it was sim 22-01? To list options.
Or there was a user print which would print the options. Encrypt kits are rare though.
Best of luck!
