Things You Should Know When You Buy New Copiers Denver

By Dennis Thompson


The copier industry is all about introducing new copiers. Oftentimes, a copier might even be updated or replaced in a manufacturer's product line more than once a year, bypassing the hundreds of thousands of used copiers freely available on the open market. Why does the copier industry do this, pushing new models when there are plenty of serviceable used copiers Denver? The following addresses why the manufacturers do this.

Requirements - First, determine the requirements of your business. If you are a large corporation and the use of your copier will be heavy, then you will require a heavy duty copier that has the capacity to produce large numbers of copies at a time and has the durability to do so. A copier used at home would not be the same one used at a publishing house.

Volume and Cost per Copy- When purchasing a copier you must first research your monthly copy volume. This is the first step in choosing which copier is right for you. One easy way to determine this is to think of how many reams of paper you use per month. Each ream is 500 sheets. Just multiply that by the amount of reams that you use and you have a fairly accurate assessment of your "copies per month."

Your Supplies Will Likely Cost More Than Your New Copier. It is sort of an industry-wide secret that over time the average business or consumer will probably spend more on their copier supplies than they will for their actual copier. Your laser color copier for example requires you to replace the drum, the magenta, yellow, cyan, and black toners separately. In addition, you have got all kinds of moving parts inside the machine, many made of plastic, which simply aren't created to last for hundreds of thousands of duty cycles.

Document Feeders- An automatic document feeder is the feeder that automatically feeds your original documents one at a time so you don't have to stand there and lift the lid each time you have a stack of originals to be copied. Not all document feeders are created equally. There are many different mechanisms that feed, separate and eject the originals on all of the makes and models of copiers.

Scanners - Scanners are used to scan documents and once that is done, everything can be sorted in the copy machine itself, after which you can let the copier to do its job, leaving you free to get on with your job. Scanning can be done with software called OCR, which stands for Optical Character Recognition, which converts your copier into a scanner. This turns the scanned document into an electronic file, which you can edit and save on your computer.

Fax Machines - Some copiers today come with facilities to both send and receive faxes so that when you receive a fax, it will be directly printed. This saves you the headache of buying a separate fax machine. You can send or receive even multi page faxes. If you are connected with a network card, then you can even send the fax from your desk.

Used machines are already discounted due to their used status, and copier leasing makes sense because you are essentially paying for maintenance and rental of the unit, without the headache of disposing of it or deciding when it's time to push out a large sum of cash to buy a new copier. Copier leasing helps you have one less thing to worry about!
