Copier Lingo: Electronic Sorting
Electronic Sorting
Each collated set is output horizontally, then vertically. This allows users to collate sets of copies without buying sorter bins or being limited by their number.

Digital Copiers: Advantages over Analog
There are many types of copiers on the market today: new copiers, refurbished copiers, analog copiers and digital copiers. With all the options, features and costs associated with copiers, it may be challenging to sort through the choices and make a valued decision. Refurbished copiers are generally just as reliable as new copiers, but hold a significantly less price tag. Refurbished models can be purchased either as analog or digital. Analog copiers use a much older process to make copies. Digital copiers hold significant advantages over analogs, can be quite cost effective, and provide the highest quality printed duplications.
Analog copiers use a mirror inside to project a copy of the document onto an internal drum. Static electricity creates an outline of the image, and draws toner particles to the blank sheet of paper. A heating element dries and secures the image onto the paper, which produces the final copy. Digital copiers possess different functionality. Digitals use internal memory to save a copy of the document which is digitally scanned. Lasers then impress a copy of the document on the internal drum, to which toner is applied, resulting in a high quality printed document. Not only do digital devices repeatedly print images from the internal memory to paper, these images can also be transferred to other digital devices that have the ability to receive digital transmissions.
Digital copiers have many significant advantages over analog copiers. Many digitals provide multiple functions to the user. Not only is the user able to print hard copies, he or she is allowed to transmit electronic versions directly to email addresses or fax machines. These advantages save both time and money, by eliminating steps to create multiple hard copies, then subsequently scanning, emailing or faxing, as well as reducing costs on paper, toner, postage and other office supplies.
Documents of the highest quality are produced by digital copiers. The quality is so high in fact that the replications are relatively indistinguishable from the original. Analog copiers tend to produce grainy or even smudged duplications. Although analog copiers may be less expensive upon initial purchase, their digital counterparts cost less in the long run. Long-term maintenance costs are substantially less for a digital copier, as there are less moving parts of better quality tending to break down and wear out to a lesser degree. Ink is also less expense for digitals, as a single ink cartridge produces more copies in a digital machine than an analog.

Toss your Scanner, Printer, Fax, Copier and Stapler- Welcome to a Multifunction Copier
Content Courtesy of http://articlesadv.com
Article By John Eaton
When upgrading your existing machinery or setting up your new Las Vegas business or home office you need to plan ahead and make a list of the office equipment and tools you will need to operate on a daily basis. As a rule the standard items are a photocopier, fax machine and scanner. Purchasing all of these individually may not be the best solution especially if you are short on floor or desk space. A multifunctional copier is all of these wrapped up into one, and less costly in the long run.
So what can you do with your multifunction copier? Depending on the model you get, the features and the speed and ability of it can be quite impressive. Multifunctional copiers offer printing, copying, scanning, faxing and sometimes binding all with one machine. Some models will perform more than one function at a time. They connect to your office's computer network and allow PC-to-copier faxing and hold memory allowing more than one user to share its multifunction capabilities.
They take a lot less space and less cluttering of plug outlets as if you were to buy each machine individually. Not all multifunction copiers are the same. Make sure the copier you are looking at has all the features you need. Most standard printers only produce black and white documents. If you want to eliminate the high cost of outsource printing of advertising media, the color copy feature is a necessity. Color copy doesn't come standard in every machine.
One of the things that make printer companies so quick to complete your order is the speed of their machinery. If your business often needs to print hundreds of documents all at once, you want a copier on the quick side. Low end copiers are really slow, and even slower when utilizing color features. Most will only output around 12-14 pages per minute. A high quality, multifunction copier will do more like 20-30 pages per minute.
The sorting feature is handy for putting together multi-page bundles multiple output trays are great for sorting. Some offer up to 50 sheet paper handling. Resizing features can save on paper with the ability to shrink and print more than one document on a page. The scanner will cut back on paper use as you can scan your documents into memory and email them from your PC to multiple people.
There are many styles and models of multifunction copiers to fit your businesses printing, copying, scanning and faxing needs and it won't be hard to find one within your budget. Eliminate those with features you may not necessarily need like printing on poster paper. You may pay a larger upfront cost on your multifunctional copier but think of it as an investment that is well worth it price.

The Difference Between An Analog Copier And A Digital Copier
Content Courtesy of http://articlesadv.com
Article By Steve Tetluk
There are so many different types of copiers on the market today and choosing between them is quite straining. If you are looking for an office copier then you should know the difference between two different types of copiers. Technology has developed a new copier and this is the digital copier. The analog copier is not, what we might call, "ancient" but there are differences between these copiers.
The older copier is considered to be the analog copier. Analog copiers are also considered to be reliable and affordable. If you decide that you are more inclined to purchasing an analog copier you should consider the time it takes to warm up and the quality of the scanned or printed documents.
The reason for considering the time is because in an office there are probably a large number of people that would like to utilize the copier and if the machine takes long this will cause frustration in the office and reduce productivity.
A digital copier works slightly differently. With the coming of the digital age it is only natural to make all machines that worked on an analog system. These are machines such as photo cameras, video cameras, etc. The digital copier does pose some good benefits but there are also negatives to digital technology. There are several advantages to the digital copier. One of the most important is that many digital copiers are multi-functional. Hard copies of the original can be produced, or electronic copies may be transmitted to fax machines or even as text to an email address. This can eliminate many steps in the communication process for a company that operates multiple locations. Also, this can eliminate the need to mail hard copies of the document to several different physical sites, both within the departments of the company as well as outside the physical location of the company. It will therefore increase productivity in the work place.
The down side of digital technology is that it uses more power that analog copiers and it therefore produces more heat. The digital copier is also more expensive, of course compared to the analog copier.
Regardless of whether you choose a digital or an analog copier you must always do some research on the specific product you are considering to purchase. There are always people who have used the product and might have written a complaint or a recommendation. It is important to listen to the sales representative but it is also good to get second opinions. You might have heard about another company that used a specific copier and they might have great responses or not. You don't want to waste money and time, therefore choose the copier that best suits the needs of your company.

Copier Lingo: Coverage
Coverage
The percentage of a page's surface that would be covered if you squashed every bit of its ink in one place. If you squeeze together all the black in a regular black and white copy of a double-spaced letter, for example, its coverage will be 6 percent. Color copying typically has higher coverage than standard letters - somewhere between 25 percent to 35 percent.
