Photocopiers and Identity Theft

In 2007 a photocopier manufacturer released a statement warning American citizens against photocopying their tax returns and other important documents on photocopiers stationed in public places. This warning came after hard drives were introduced to most new photocopiers. There are now a range measures that can be implemented to help make photocopiers more sec­ure.

Choosing a New Photocopier

Choosing a new photocopier or multifunctional device can seem like a daunting task as there are many models to choose from as well as a range of functions to consider. However, this task can be made simpler if businesses are equipped with all the relevant information about the options available and have thought about exactly what they need from the device.

The Paperless Office

The first predictions for a paperless office were made in the 1970's. It was thought by some that by today all documents would be digital and paper would be redundant. However, despite the ­fact that people are communicating by email and the means are there to store and sort documents digitally, offices are using paper more than ever.

Death of the photocopier

The last decade has seen the evolution of the traditional photocopier from a device that simply churns out black and white copies of documents to an all-enco­mpassing multifunctiona­l printing system.

Canon, HP and OCE a new global photocopier force

UK Universities and Colleges Cut Time not Paper when it comes to printers and copiers

The sheer volume of paper used within education has not changed, but the way paper is being used is changing. Schools, colleges and universities all print vast quantities of paper-work every year. From exam sheets to curriculum and educational packs, the business of education has always been a major user of the humble printer and photocopier. Until all schools are equipped with digital desks, the humble sheet of paper will remain king of the classroom. The latest advancements in printing and copying provide the University print room operatives a chance to shine with automatic paper handling.

Multifunction Printer Vs Conventional Printer

In recent years, the multifunction laser printer (MFP) has transformed the way offices are working. It’s something of a quiet technological revolution but the MFP is providing companies and organisations the world over with huge improvements to the way they do business - saving space, time, money and energy and also bringing in new capabilities, dramatically enhancing imaging and communications potential. For those who are new to the term, we’ve put together a list of the main advantages the MFP offers over a conventional printer, so you can make an informed choice.

Franking Machines – Cheaper Mail than Ever

The need for more efficient business mail handling and the increasing savings now associated, means franking is becoming a far more attractive mailing option for companies based in the UK than at any time before. The cheaper postage rates now available have prompted a renewed interest in franking technology and document imaging and document management companies across the country have been expanding their offerings to capitalise on this growing sector. Many businesses with mailroom needs are discovering just how much today’s franking machines have to offer - not only providing lower mailroom costs and quicker mail handling but genuinely adding value to outgoing mail too – both in the form of envelope messaging and envelope branding options.

Franking – Astonishingly Cheap Postage from April 2010

Franking machines have offered a more affordable way for mailrooms to process and deliver their mail, but franking machines are now set to become even more popular with considerable savings provided by Royal Mail. As well as the additional savings Royal Mail are to provide using franking machines, they have also increased the price of the humble stamp, making franked mail an even more desirable option.

The Electronic Document Management System - What You Need to Know

Electronic Document Management systems are an indispensable feature within the offices of many of the world’s most successful international businesses. They have the power to transform organisations from sluggish, confused and paper-laden box-ticking operations into efficient, dynamic power-houses, freeing up spare capacity and time. But for a technology which has so much to offer, for those outside the field, document management software can seem something of a closed world; an impenetrable maze of concepts and phrases that seem rather more intended to befuddle than to assist. To make life a little easier for the un-initiated, here we provide a brief introduction to electronic document management systems and background on some of the key related terms you’re most likely to encounter with document management software.

Bioplastics – The Future of Photocopiers

Many in the photocopier industry have been very excited this last few months by the release of two new Canon imageRUNNER Advance b/w office photocopiers, the iR-Adv 6000 and iR-Adv 8000, which have already been garlanded with awards from leading authorities such as On Demand in the US and complete the impressive imageRUNNER Advance series. In addition to some of the more typical improvements these new photocopiers are introducing, such as greater productivity, more compact dimensions and better connectivity, there’s one advance that really hasn’t been much commented on, but which truly places Canon at the forefront of sustainable technological development. Along with improved energy efficiency and a lower-carbon distribution strategy, these new imageRUNNER Advance photocopiers have been constructed using the first ever high-grade fire-retardant bio-plastic. We thought it’s about high time someone provided a more definitive introduction to this technology to explain just how it is they have been doing more than any manufacturer recently to limit the environmental impact of new copiers.
