This is a system that links to your phone and can call the dealer’s technical support team if a problem arises. This means that problems can be anaysed and understood in detail, and so improve repair time and ensure that maintenance schedules are followed correctly and recorded properly.

An ADF enables you to make copies without lifting the platen. You load the set of original documents into the feeder, press start, and let the copier move each sheet on and off the platen. Thus instead of placing each sheet one-by-one onto the glass, the ADF reduces time and effort. A typical ADF can hold between 1 and 20 sheets at a time.

A bypass tray reduces the risk of a paper jam by offering an alternative short, straight-paper path. It enables you to copy straight onto originals – such as colored paper, odd-sized paper, or card stock i.e. materials which cannot be fed (or are inconvenient or impossible to feed) from the regular copy paper tray inside the copier. Bypass trays ca [..]

Items that often need to be replaced are known as consumables. These include the toner, paper, fuser oil, developer, or any other materials or parts that must be regularly replaced.

The control panel is the area where you find all the control functions for the photocopier. Today, the control panel is a sophisticated LCD display with easy-to-follow instructions. These guide the user through such variables as number of copies required, paper size, copy reduction, or copy enlargement.

Copies Per Minute is a value expressed by the number of 8 1/2 x 11 inch pages a digital copier can produce per minute. These days, color copiers list four CPM speeds. These are for black and white, one-color, two-color, and four-color copies. Naturally, four-color speeds are the slowest, with speeds ranging from 3 to 10 CPM. More expensive, high sp [..]

Consumables such as paper and toner, as well as service contracts are all part of the price equation when considering a new digital copier. This is called the Cost of Ownership, and it determines the actual cost to budget for when buying copy machines.

This method of sorting means that copies can be collated without the use of sorting bins. This is achieved by outputting cache collated set horizontally, then vertically in alternate sequence.

This is the indicator which defines how quickly a photocopier can print the initial page of a document. This is useful to know if your business is using the copier on a walk-up-and-use basis, since most people only copy one or two sheets at a time, and are keen to complete the job in quick time.

In the same way as a PC uses memory, so also does a photocopier machine. Memory is simply a hardware component that stores data . A digital copier needs memory to perform things such as scanning documents, using scan once/print many, or faxing. The required amount of memory depends on which function is used.
