'copy machines'

Office environments are all unique in different kinds of ways. They all require different print systems to suit the environment and style of work. Are you looking around seeing printers in every corner on every desk and all different brands?

If you are these are signs that the print environment is getting out of control. The issue I’m sure you are faced with is all the different toners you need to keep buying for all the different models. This leads to wastage as the machine breaks and you are left with a box of expensive toner. More often than not people actually have toners in the cupboard for printers that they no longer even have.

Now I hope you can see the worth in a print system tailored to your businesses needs. With technology ever changing there is a print solution to suit all the different types of businesses. What we need to do is look to see if consolidation might be an option, reducing the amount of printers in the office is always a good start. Usually one copier placed in the right spot is actually the most cost efficient way forward.

People need to get up and stretch their legs as part of OHS. By well placing a copy machine in a central location is a great way to reduce costs, clutter and allow people to rest their tiring bodies.

I hope it is now evident that things need to change!

The MP201SPF is a top little copy machine! It is the toughest little machine on the market.

What do you get packed into this little copier?

Well as standard this machine comes with fax, scanning, copying and printing. With the capability to print up to speeds of 20 pages a minute makes it perfect for an office with a small volume. The other use is it is great as a back up copier just in case you have any troubles with your other machines. This machine also has postscript capabilities which makes it compatible with Apple Macs.

Really this machine is a little work horse. The best thing about it is its cheap to run. This has the internals of a copy machine not a printer, this in turn keeps the cost of running this machine at a minimum.

The question will come up in everyone’s mind when setting up the office with printers and copy machines. How should I do it, should I go for the cheap desktop printer on a desk and scatter multiple of these printers through out the office?

The answer is really quite simple. You will feel like initially this is the best option as the printers are cheap and your job is done. WRONG the issue with this is that the small desktop printer is not efficient at all. These types of units cost a fortune for toners which in turn starts to cost you a small fortune. Now the next thing is this cheap unit needs regular maintenance much more often then the trusty copy machine which just keeps plugging away.

So what you will find is the copy machine is just a work horse, which allows you just to replace the toners and not the fuser unit and toner combined. This allows for cheap replacement of high yield toners. The maintenance intervals are widely spread over these machines allowing them to cost much less in maintenance.You should speak to an expert who can have a look into the cost comparison for you and it will then be a no brainer.

Let take a look at the two side by side.
