Despite the promise that the digital age would reduce the need for paper, your printer is still a vital piece of office equipment. And whether used by a small team or an entire floor of employees, it goes through a lot.
Just like an overextended person might have a meltdown, the overextended copier will too. And as you well know, when it breaks down, not only will your employees suffer, but so will your business. If you’re tired of dealing with constant repairs, it might be time to look into a copier upgrade.
Copier Upgrade Have Come a Long Way
If you haven’t upgraded your copier in a while, then you might be surprised by just how much they have changed. From additions like mobile printing to voice command, there have been numerous upgrades to the typical office copier that can help you perform daily tasks well.
But you don’t have to get the model with all the bells and whistles, just the features you need. For example, the following.
Efficiency
Today´s copiers are a lot more efficient than their predecessors. Newer copiers use less toner and make better use of it. While your old printer was doing its best, putting every ounce of its energy into turning out copies, the quality of the printed material was often less than satisfactory. So stand back and be prepared for eye-popping crisp print when you run your batch of copies.
Security
Even if your last copier upgrade was only a few years ago, the chances are your multifunction copier doesn’t have the security features of current models. You may be pleased that it can scan, fax, and serve as a document management tool, but with these abilities come opportunities for hackers to steal, alter, ransom, or wreak havoc on your data.
Even a small cyberattack can lead to serious and expensive consequences, especially if the data contains sensitive material such as a proprietary product or confidential patient/client information. However, today’s copiers can protect against data alterations, data leaks, or expensive denial of service ransom encryption. This alone should be sufficient reason to look into a copier upgrade. Even if you’re not quite convinced, there’s no harm in looking.
