Posted by Admin on

Printers are an essential part of any office, but a paper jam can quickly make this handy piece of equipment become useless and frustrating. Luckily, we are here to teach you how to free your printer from even the toughest blockage.

All Printers are Different

While we can certainly give you general, tried-and-tested guidelines to fixing a paper jam, keep in mind that all printers are a bit different. They may have different ways of loading the paper as well as different ways of moving that paper through the machine; therefore, they may have different places for paper to jam or access panels for you to remove the paper.

10 Cool Features of Wide Format Copiers and Printers

Posted by Admin on

There are instances when businesses require printing larger-than-legal documents or graphics, and time is of the essence. There may also be times when your run-of-the-mill printer’s limited features prevent you from achieving a desired output quality on a bigger medium.

 

A wide format printer is the solution to this dilemma. This nifty piece of office equipment possesses unique features that regular-sized printers simply do not have access to. Below are 10.

Which Type of Office Equipment Could Make Your Workplace More Efficient?

There are two major elements that make an office productive: its equipment and its people. We can’t help you with the people (though hopefully you’ve already got a rock-star team), but we can certainly point you in the right direction in terms of office equipment.

Office Equipment That Boosts Productivity

There are a number of different types of office equipment that can boost your team’s productivity….

 

Excellent Chairs

If you’ve ever tried to work while suffering from back or joint pain, then you know that this isn’t conducive to excellence. This makes your office furniture—especially chairs—of critical importance to your overall workplace efficiency.

Of course, the ‘chair budget’ will vary from company to company, but there are a number of elements to look for when selecting ergonomic chairs:

How to Know When Your Office Machinery Needs Maintenance

Posted by Admin on

Office machinery, like any other type of machinery, needs regular TLC to be kept in optimal shape. But, how often does your office equipment need maintenance? And what maintenance does it need?

The questions above—unfortunately—don’t have simple answers, as most office equipment doesn’t have an ‘I need maintenance now’ indicator light. Each piece of machinery will have different needs, of course…and this will largely depend on use. For example, a workhorse workgroup printer that shoots out 1,000 sheets a day will need more maintenance than a single inkjet in a corner office that might print 5 sheets per day.

So—how can you tell when your office equipment needs maintenance?

Posted by Admin on

In our increasingly mobile world people want what they want, when they want it. This is especially true when it comes to printing and color copiers. For instance, people want to print a document on their mobile device when leaving a team meeting and be able to pick it up on their way back to their office.

But—is this a reality?

 

The Mobile Printing Facts

There’s no denying that the world is going mobile. About 32% of employees use more than one mobile device during their workday, both in and out of the office. Unsurprisingly, mobile device printing is the #1 requested mobile feature from employees to tech services departments.

Benefits of Digital Duplicators

Posted by Admin on

Tired of spending half the office budget on copy machine toner every month? Looking for a machine that uses less energy, but can still print a high volume? Digital duplicators may be the easy, cost-effective alternative you’ve been looking for.

Digital duplicators are a high volume, low cost alternative to toner-based printers or offset printing equipment. They look very similar to the common Xerox machine, but function somewhat differently. For large projects, they are significantly more efficient and economical. Digital duplicators utilize an ink drum, similar to those used in the 1980s and 1990s, to make photocopies. It rolls over the paper, squeezing ink out, and creates fast, quick-dry images.

When to Choose Digital Duplicators

Thinking about bringing your company into the digital age? Digital duplicators offer a lot of benefits over traditional printing technology. Here, we’ll consider how digital duplicators compare to other printing methods. After reading, you’ll be better equipped to make a decision about whether or not the digital duplicator fits your company’s unique needs.

 

How does it work?

Digital duplicator technology has been improving since the Riso Kagaku Corporation first developed the technology in the 1980s. With this type of machine, still employed today, users place the original item on the glass surface of the scanner, after which the scanned image is burned onto a piece of wax paper. This wax paper is then added to an ink drum, which percolates ink through tiny dots in the wax to create a copy.

Why are Fax Machines Still Necessary?

Posted by Admin on

For decades, one of the most important components of office life has been the fax machine. It is one of the most common machines seen in an office along with printers and copiers. Though—with evolving technology—printing, copying and faxing can be achieved by this single piece of equipment. The multi-purpose machine offers printing, copying and faxing facilities along with various other added features.

 

Lately, fax machines have been looked upon as a legacy equipment. Emails, new texting software and 3D printing can provide all the functions that are offered by a fax machine. But there are several reasons why they still exist. The multi-function printers mentioned earlier include color copier, fax machine and scanner, apart from its printer. A few of them even have other additional perks such as a USB connector or a card reader for compact flash cards of digital cameras and SD cards.
