Digital Copiers
New technology for better quality copying
When it comes to the copier question of analog as opposed to digital, most people will go with a digital model. Digital color copiers are crucial to graphics professionals and businesses that use graphics in their presentations because the images they produce recreate the best artwork.
Most manufacturers have stopped making new analog copiers now and there isn’t much price difference between the two. Digital copiers have quite a few advantages- they can combine the functions of copiers, network printers, scanners and fax machines, which make them basically multifunction copiers. They also have fewer moving parts which usually mean fewer mechanical breakdowns.
Digital copiers, which came out in the late 1980s, are the latest in copier technology and they produce accurate copies rapidly. Both black-and-white and color copiers have improved with the electronic process of digital copying as images are much sharper and cleaner. The copiers also have higher production volume and faster output. All major copier brands produce a high-quality line of digital copiers such as multifunction copiers, and network copiers. You can also get refurbished digital models along with rental copiers and rental models.
If you add a printer module and network card to a digital copier it can be used double as a laser printer. A digital network copier enables you to produce dozens of stapled copies of two-sided multi page documents without leaving your desk. A lot of offices use their digital copier as a printer since it costs less than laser printer printing costs.
Most digital copiers can edit your documents while they are being copied. This can include things such as automatic page numbering, adding watermarks, and adding the date. They can also rotate scanned images to match the orientation of the paper.
If your digital copier has enough memory it can support stackless duplexing by storing each side of the original document in its memory and then printing both sides. This means the number of two-sided copies you make isn’t limited by the capacity of a duplex tray.
Digital copiers usually have an automatic sizing function which lets the copier remember the size of the original document and adjust itself with preset reduction/enlargement settings. It can do this even if your copying paper is a different size from the original.
Some digital copiers come with security devices that require users to enter a code before making copies, preventing unauthorized usage. Some models can also keep faxes and network documents in their memory until the correct code is entered, and then print them on command, a feature ideal for confidential documents.
