COPY MACHINES THROUGH THE YEARS

When copy machines were first introduced, they were those big bulky things which people find hard to push around from one space to another.  As the years progressed, a lot of innovations had been introduced, the most recent of which is that copy machines are no longer confined to those big, bulky machines.  Companies have now integrated the copying function in most printers which is why there are now multi-functional printers.  In this way, people may reproduce documents in their very own homes and it would not take much space.  The only problem is, it consumes too much ink which makes it quite expensive. This is why the use of the traditional copy machine cannot be disregarded altogether.  If a large volume needs to be reproduced, it would not be practical to do it on a multifunctional printer as it could best be achieved through the ordinary copy machine. As we can see, unless the ink toners of printers become cheaper, copy machines still have their place in this world.

The Copy Machine Turns 50!

Hooray! The copy machine turned 50 last month, commemorating the Xerox company’s first sale — a 648-pound copier as big as two washing machines.

This historic event reminds us of how much we take for granted nowadays. Way back when, before “Xerox” became a regularly-used verb, copy machines were much less reliable. The devices broke down all the time, sometimes even catching on fire. And they had trouble fitting through doorways.

Printing and Faxing with Copy Machines

copy machines for saleYou’ve probably noticed that some copy machines for sale, lease, and rent offer printing and faxing capabilities. And, even though most offices already have printers and fax machines, these features are definitely worth considering.

Copy machine printing, for example, offers several advanced functions not available in standard printers, such as double-sided printing and automatic stapling. Plus, all of your employees can print from the same copy machine (as long as it has a network card). Printing with copy machines can also save you money, since per-page costs for copiers are about 80% than those of laser printers.

Copy machines make sending and receiving faxes easier as well. Some high-tech machines can read faxes from document trays, in addition to faxing pages from books and magazines scanned on the copier glass. Certain machines can even receive files to fax wirelessly from multiple computers.

Not ready to cough up the cash for these extra features? In that case, we recommend copy machine leasing. If you lease a machine compatible with printing and faxing upgrades, you can make the switch when the time is right for your office – and budget.
