A good copier is an asset to the business and should work as such, but like most technology, all good things must come to an end at some stage. But how do you know when is the best time to replace your copier to ensure optimum efficiency?
Productivity
A copier is an asset to the business, but it gets to a point when the copier at an age where it doesn’t have the appropriate software to keep up with technology. For example, some older copiers don’t have mobile print capabilities, touch screens or availability to upload documents to the cloud.
Security
Copiers are often overlooked as the most vulnerable piece of technology in your workplace. Ensure your copier has advanced security features so your data isn’t at risk and if not, replace it.
Cost
Newer copiers are much more efficient because they use fewer consumables and have a higher efficiency. Copier costs come from the toner cartridges as well as the repair and service costs. These increase over time when the machines parts become less and less available and may only be available as repurposed parts, so it makes better business sense to eliminate these unnecessary costs and replace your printer with one that wont eat into your budget.
