Tips in Buying a Copier!

Tips on What Copiers To Buy.

I will make it simple... 

1st Question will be... what is it that you require?  You have to consider always how are you going to use the machine, will it be low copy volume, average copy volume or high copy volume per month?
  • If your office is a small one, a 15 cpm to 25cpm will be perfect for your office.
  • If your office is having more users and from time to time need some print outs or copies, then settle for a medium machine which will be from 25cpm up to 40cpm. 
  • If your using it as commercial purposes such as Copy Centers, or big corporations, I suggest a high end Copiers should be used from 40cpm above. 
2nd Question  will be... Ask for some technical specification such as Lifetimes of Consumables. Consumables are Drum, Developers, Toners. (Some brands are no longer or not using Developer.-- this machine are called Mono-Component).

Error Codes!!!    What does it Means?!.

Problem Codes or Error Codes that appears on your Copier Machine means something. And this information is very important when you will log a service request to your supplier. But what does it means?


FYI... Error codes are Self Diagnostic Function in a copier machine so that the problem can be identified easily. Thus reporting the corresponding Error Codes, or Problem Codes will help. This will diminish the service breakdown of the machine. Error codes has a  corresponding section in a machine, your service technican can bring the necessary parts that the machine might need.
