Office Equipment

Copiers and printers serve as the backbone for so many of our office processes, that oftentimes we take them for granted when we’re going about our day. But the truth is, office equipment technology has changed so much, that it’s worth noting some of the most interesting aspects of these machines. 

1. Copiers Have Evolved  

From the first commercialized invention by Xerox in 1959 which was just a simple photocopier, to a complete workplace assistant today, copiers have evolved tremendously in the past 60 years. There are now personal copiers for desktops, large copiers for offices, and even production-style machines for print shops.  

Wanting to save money is one thing that a lot of us have in common. If you’ve noticed that your company has been spending quite a bit on color impressions, and you’re looking through the different methods available to you for tracking and controlling your color usage, then Xerox Color Tracking and Y-Soft SafeQ Print Management are probably some features you’ll be interested in.

Here we’ll break down the key features of each one, list the pros and cons, and help you decide which might be better suited for your company’s needs.  

Y Soft has been known for their print management software for copiers/printers that allows companies to track, analyze, and control costs of the machine and supplies. 

These benefits, and the other abilities print management provides, make owning and controlling the cost of copier fleets manageable.  

This background in print management allowed Y Soft to release a 3D printer integrated with print management – the first comprehensive solution for managing 3D and 2D printer fleets in the industry.  

The popularity and affordability of Chromebook laptops by Google has made this device a competitor in the computer industry. While this device has proven useful for the demographic of high school students and college undergrads; Chromebooks aren’t as useful in a business environment.  

With Chromebook’s tantalizing price point and basic functionalities, the question becomes why isn’t a Chromebook right for your business needs?  

However, if you already own a Chromebook you might already be asking the question that this article will address, why is your Chromebook not printing or working correctly with your multifunction printing equipment? 

Owning or leasing a Xerox copier/printer is a strategic decision that is sure to increase productivity and workflow in your office. However, if you’re having difficulty using all the features, it could impact your office productivity. 

 If you’re not used to using a multi-function printer (MFP) that allows you to print, scan, copy, and fax all in one place, you may have some questions. You could need assistance in changing trays or toners or even learning about the features and apps your Xerox machine provides.
