Need higher document copying capabilities? The best black and white copiers deliver the increased capacity you need, minus the steep costs that come with full-colour copying. These machines have come a long way, becoming productivity game-changers in modern offices.
Read MoreToday’s monochrome copiers can double-duty as a network printer, scanner, and even as a fax machine if you need one. Appropriately called all-in-one’s, these productivity machines have a modular design, allowing users to add extras to upgrade their functionality.
Installation of extra modules differ among black and white copiers though. For some, upgrading is as easy as plug and play. Other models, however, require expert hardware knowledge.
When selecting a black and white photocopier for your business focus on the copy speed (CPM), monthly duty cycle and network connectivity to make sure it matches your businesses objectives.
The number of copies your business puts out in a month is an important buying consideration. By knowing how much document copying capacity you need, you’re better equipped to pick a machine that best suits your situation.
For example:
If you’re creating 2,000 copies a month and average at 100/working day, you’d want a black and white photocopier with a CPM that can handle your daily copying needs - without making employees wait.
You should also look for a model whose duty cycle is at least 15% higher than your copying needs. The duty cycle refers to the devices rated capacity to work under normal conditions. If the duty cycle is lower than the 2,000/month copying demand, the machine might suffer from breakdowns.
How you want to make copies is another major consideration. You want a device that can easily connect to your network and take copying jobs from your team with as little start-up hassle as possible.
You should also consider a monochrome photocopier with Apple AirPrint or Google Cloud Play support. Such a feature is a must-have if employees need to create copies wirelessly from phones and tablets.
