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?

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.

Does your company need Wide Formatting Copiers?

The question of whether your company needs a wide-formatting copier depends on who you ask. If you ask a techie not in charge of the budget the answer will certainly be a resounding ‘yes, absolutely!’.

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.

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.
