Just like other major business purchases, choosing the multifunction copiers for your office requires some careful research and planning. A mistake may mean you’ll miss out on some critical features or have to replace your copiers sooner than you’d expected.

What to Consider

You’ll save a considerable amount of time if you begin your search for new copiers by listing your requirements. Here’s where to start.

1. How many users require access? Are you looking for a copier for a small work group or do you need several centralized multifunction copiers for multiple departments? A desktop unit may work for a start-up, but a device that can handle several print jobs and tasks at once is critical for a larger organization.

2. What features are considered mission critical? The latest copiers are feature-rich devices that provide everything from access to document management systems to professional finishing capabilities. Knowing how your team wants to use your copiers can help streamline your search process.

3. What about speed and output? How many documents does your organization print or copy in a typical day? For document-intensive offices, look for copiers with monthly duty cycles and page-per-minute capabilities that can keep up with your demands.

4. How much space is available? It’s important to consider the unit’s footprint before making your final decision. Work with your equipment provider, so the copiers you lease or buy are a good fit for your office space.

5. What about document security? Even a small business requires robust security measures in light of ongoing threats. Look for copiers with the latest security protocols to keep your confidential documents out of the hands of unauthorized users.
