If you’re looking for a modern office printer, you have a lot of options. A multi-function printer, or MFP, combines the functions of a printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine into a single device. By purchasing one that meets your requirements, you can significantly improve workflow and lower costs.
It is up to the business to determine which of the various copiers is best suited to their needs. The best one comes from your company in terms of budget and tasks for the copier to complete.
There are several factors to consider when selecting the best copier for your business, particularly in Selangor.
The workflow and the number of users who will share the printer are important considerations when deciding which copier to buy or lease. Of course, printing and copying are required. What else do you need to do?
Will you also need to scan the document? A copier that is compatible with capture software and integrates with your IT infrastructure or works with your existing scanning software should be sought after. You require reliable network access.
Will you be required to send a fax? Do you need colour or just white and black? Do you require staples, a hole punch, or other finishing tools? You must remember your requirements for a standard printer. How much do you print/copy/scan each day, week, or month?
Both of these questions will influence system selection and other factors. Check the features of each one before deciding on a multi-function printer and whether the one you are considering will meet all of your daily needs.
The cost of purchasing a copier exceeds the initial cost of the device. How much will the materials cost? What would the repair cost?
When will it be repaired? Several copiers are now allowing remote troubleshooting with software problems, allowing the printer to be repaired and run instead of waiting for a repair technician to arrive.
A copier will help you manage your copying and imaging costs, but before you buy, consider the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Finish your homework. Read reports from industry professionals and other organisations that have used the product. Supplier spec sheets should be compared to those of independent research firms. LinkedIn and Google Reviews are great places to look for reviews.
Business Facebook accounts should also be used to determine whether the copier partner is customer-focused (it’s always a good idea to deal with someone who needs to give you the best copier, not the one from which they’ll make the most money).
Before purchasing new office equipment, consider how well it will integrate with the existing systems. Extra considerations, such as how simple it is to set up. Is there any documentation or tutorials to help you with installation? Is there going to be any training required? Will you need to run anything on office computers? Will the current system render other systems obsolete?
The last thing you want is a brand-new copier that no one knows how to use. Choose a copy machine with a simple operating system that requires little setup. Look for user-friendly online support and documentation. It’s also a good idea to choose a copier that comes with manufacturer technical support (especially if you’re going to do in-house maintenance and support; Bizcopier Solutions has the best technician support just for you; call 03-3341 6296 for more information). Few copiers will also include “how to” videos on the copier control panel.
Some multifunction copiers cannot provide all of the desired features. While the copier has multiple functions on a single device, only one of them can be used at a time. This can cause workflow bottlenecks. Depending on the needs of the office, this could be a challenge.
Communication is essential when selecting the most powerful copier, as it is in all things. Can the copier display jobs, queues, and problems on the network and the device? Will users and IT managers have easy access to and edit the system status of jobs? If not, you may find yourself spending more time with your IT staff troubleshooting copiers than assisting your core business.
Select a printer that includes continuous service to help keep your copier running efficiently now and in the future. Does the copier dealership have a good reputation for quick response times? Is service good in your area if you want to buy directly from the manufacturer? Do some research to get a sense of the relationship you’re starting.
