Your copier is capable of much more than making duplicate documents. You can increase productivity and extent of your projects as well as improve the energy consumption of your office. Read on to learn how to maximize these features and more.

1. Keep It Secure

Copier security can be overlooked because it hasn’t historically been attacked. Now, hackers are discovering they can access your network through your copier hard drive. If there is little to no user authentication, it is easy to gain access to your data. To your business and customer information, always encrypt your hard drive and put additional security measures into place.

2. Take Advantage of All Features

To harness the power of your copier, you should be doing more than just making multiple documents. Features such as cloud-integration, wireless printing, and finishing add-ons can elevate your productivity. Your copier can allow you to work remotely, collaborate with others, and create professional finished projects.

3. Continue Regular Maintenance

A copier does not continue to run like new if it is not taken care of. Internal and external maintenance can extend the life of your copier. To keep the inner parts of your copier in shape, perform regular cleaning and never force jammed paper. The outside of your copier can be wiped down with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. If the copier ever begins to exhibit issues have it looked at immediately instead of waiting for a complete breakdown.

4. Reap the Green Rewards

Your copier can be a sustainable device when the right settings are applied. Make sure your copier is in standby mode so that it’s not running unnecessarily. A sustainable office is always achievable and a great goal work towards.

By keeping your copier secure and regularly maintained, you can increase sustainability while taking advantage of multiple features. To learn more about maximizing copier benefits in your office, call us today!
