Ideally suited to the small or home office the various Multifunctional Copiers that we have on the market today are becoming more and more advanced as time progresses. Years ago, we would need to purchase and maintain separate copier, fax machine, scanner and printer, at substantial cost. Replacing the working parts and consumables dictated that the initial setup of such an operation was beyond most small enterprises.

We offer a variety of professional-quality multifunction photocopiers, including compact desktop all-in-one machines for efficient printing and copying. One machine with a single set of consumables can print, copy, scan, and fax to a professional standard for corporations. These compact, efficient machines allow corporations to place multifunctional copiers at workstations, enabling staff to customize them for individual needs.

Like any technology, it’s crucial to find equipment that meets your specific needs and achieves the desired standards for performance. When choosing a multifunction photocopier, consider copy speed, costs, frequency of consumable replacements, and various resolution capabilities for all functions. Obviously speed is a crucial element with any of these functions. You don’t want to spend money on a office machine that is going to increase the cost of producing the work. Production costs increase when staff wait for jobs to finish instead of engaging in more productive tasks, impacting overall efficiency.

Faster machines complete tasks more quickly and to the same standard; though pricier, their costs are recouped through production savings.

Machine memory is something else you may want to seriously consider. With an industry standard entry level of 16MB of onboard memory now accepted, it makes little sense investing in a multifunction copier that only has half that amount, unless of course you are operating a one person small business from home. Larger corporations with many machine users, and larger documents, should always look to the higher memory machines for best results.

Also consider the maximum optimum dpi rating for the multifunction copier. The higher the dpi, the higher the cost, but the more superior your finished results will be. Higher dpi capacity results in clearer, sharper documents, enhancing detail visibility and allowing for a greater appreciation of work quality. This would be particularly important in the case of photocopying plans, images, and other graphical material.

In the case of the inbuilt faxing capabilities you should check and establish the modem speed of the multifunction copier you are considering. Understanding the industry standard at the time of purchase, weigh this up with the frequency to which you will need to use the fax machine, and assess if this speed is going to be adequate for you. Keep in mind that longer fax transmissions typically incur higher phone charges, making quicker sends more cost-effective overall. Sending one hundred faxes weekly can significantly increase costs with a slow modem speed, making efficiency crucial for savings.

Generally speaking a multifunctional copier, or all in one desktop machines are flexible, user friendly and offer professional standards. Suited to many environments both small and large, and portable enough to be moved as and when necessary. Individual customization of each machine allows more flexibility for separate departments, as opposed to all departments converging on one larger centrally positioned photocopier.
