What To Look For When Purchasing A Digital Copier

When it comes to purchasing digital copiers for a home office, small business, or larger office complex there are certain things to look for and consider before spending the money. Most of the new copiers on the market today are digital copiers, but that does not mean they are all created equally. If you are in the market for digital copiers, here are some things to consider before you buy one.

Color or Black and White

There are two kinds of digital copiers on the market today. The ones that will black and white only and those inkjet printers that have color capabilities. If you are creating a lot of black and white documents (letters, faxes, memos, notices, etc.) then you are not going to have a big need for color printing. However, if you print a lot of posters, newsletters, presentations, handouts, etc. adding color will present a more professional image for your company. The color digital copiers are going to cost more to purchase as well as to operate.

Duplex Printing

This is a great feature that many digital copiers have integrated into their systems. Duplex printing is the ability to be able to print on both sides of the paper, thus saving money by using less paper for long documents. This is done through the means of a Reverse Automatic Document Feeder. If you are copying a lot of double sided documents, look for a digital copier with the RADF capability.

Automatic Document Feeder

Many higher end analog copier were sold with this convenience. The Automatic Document Feeder will automatically feed several sheets of paper through the scanner in order to cut time spent copying documents in half. Many digital copiers are sold with a 30 to 35 document feeder capacity as a low end feature. Higher end units will automatically feed several hundred documents at a time.

All In One Capability

As technology has progressed, and processors become smaller, it is easier to build machines that can do several different functions without them being the size of a building. When looking at digital copiers it is important to choose those that have all in one capabilities. This means copying, printing, scanning, and faxing. This one machine will save you hundreds of dollars in having to purchase all of the other equipment.

Wireless Functions

Many companies today have their computers connected to a network where they can easily share information. In recent years, wireless networking has made this process much easier and cost effective. In order to achieve the best value for your budget purchase digital copiers that have wireless capability built into them. This way people can print, copy, scan, and fax from anywhere in the building without having to be tied to a desktop computer.

Cost of Operation

A large consideration in purchasing a digital copier is how much it is going to cost you per copy. This cost can be best determined by the cost of the toner/ink and the yield in copies and prints. For color inkjet digital copiers, this cost can be almost 10 cents per copy. Black and white copiers will generally cost 3 cents per copy, while laser digital copiers can be lower than 1 cent per copy.
