Sometimes we hold on to old things for sentimental value while other times we’re not even sure why we haven’t replaced the item. Copiers tend to fall into the second category. Companies know their copier isn’t running up to par and they are annoying to those who use them. If these four signs seem familiar, it’s time to replace your copier.
1. Time is Running Up On Your Machines
The number one reason to replace a copier is that it’s just plain old. While the definition of old can be subjective, here the term means it’s using up more energy than the output you’re getting. If a copier is performing slowly, then it’s time to invest in a new one. Also, as these devices approach six to eight years of age, their replacement parts become more difficult to find.
2. High Cost-Per-Page
Another reason an old copier can cost you more money is cost-per-page. As your device slows down with age, the cost-per-page rises. It’s not as efficient with its use of toner which is a significant expense. A new copier will use less toner, saving you money in the long run.
3. You Have a Single Function Machine
If your company is serious about becoming more sustainable, it’s time to consider a multifunction copier. Machines that bundles printing, copying, scanning, and faxing in one use less energy and require less paper and ink orders.
4. Frustrated Employees
There are a few reasons you might run into unhappy employees, but many times it has to do with the copier. Slow production and outdated software can cause staff to become impatient. Say for instance they want to print wirelessly; then it’s time to get a new copier.
Old copiers use too much energy and cause excessive costs. An investment in a new copier is a great way to update software in the office and show employees you care. If you are ready for a new copier, call us today!
