What is a digital copier?

First of all, the term copier needs a little explanation. G-I’s Digital Copiers are actually Multi Function Products (MFPs), which means they are indeed copiers, but most can also scan, print and fax. More on that later.

Conventional copiers we’ve been using for years are referred to as analog copiers . This helps differentiate them from their newer digital brothers. Analog copiers worked mechanically through the reflection of light off your original that was then bounced off mirrors and focused with a lens on a photo-sensitive drum. This process was referred to as a light-lens technology.

As you might expect, the Digital Printer/Copier do not use the light-lens system, but rather scan your originals electronically and then print (copy) them from an electronic file. Printing is accomplished with a laser type print engine.

For the casual walk-up copier user, the new Digital Printer/Copier can appear almost identical to its older brother. Here at G-I we feel this similarity is a benefit. Watch out though, because there are some digital manufacturers that don’t subscribe to this. Their products may not be as user friendly or familiar to users as the products from companies like Konica Minolta and Toshiba. In any event, the main differences casual users will notice when they first walk up to a Digital Printer/Copier is that there are no sorter bins, and also that the Digital Printer/Copier is finished with your original after just one scan (though it may continue printing your job for minutes, or even hours). More on that later.

So…What are the advantages of digital technology?

There are so many answers to this question we thought the best way to explain it was to just list the most important points one by one.

High dependability because of fewer mechanical (moving) parts.

It is said that a digital engine (copier) has almost 30% fewer moving parts in an average print or copy run. In our last point we talked about how the Digital Printer/Copier gives your original back right away even though it keeps on running (and running) your job. That’s because of a process we call ‘scan once, print many’. Quite simply, your document is scanned once into memory and then all the work that the Digital Printer/Copier then does is from memory.

One result of the scan once, print many concept is the scanner on a Digital Printer/Copier works only a fraction of the time of its analog brother. (On the old analog copier, every copy it makes requires a ‘scan’ by the lens, mirrors, etc., whereas with digital, this only happens once.) Also, if a document feeder is used to move your originals through the copier, that feeder needs to operate only a fraction of the time for a scan once, print many engine.

Another result of the scan once, print many concept is that complete sets are made (and finished) from the electronic memory so mechanical sorters with moving bins is no longer necessary.

All this adds up to ‘fewer things moving and happening’ every time work is produced. The result is increased dependability and increased uptime.

Modular Design

You can add functionality to a Digital Printer/Copier depending on what your office, workgroup, or network requires. Because they are digital, many of these products have print, fax, and scan options. Modules and functionality can be added as your business grows or your workgroup changes.

Economical

The operating cost of a Digital Printer/Copier is less than a conventional network printer, not to mention the increased functionality it provides. Another benefit of multi-function is the possibility of consolidating supplies, service coverage, and training to one piece of office technology rather than three or four.

MFP = Multi-Functional Product

Ever try using a Digital Copier or MFP as a printer? If you did, you might find you like it even better. Ever wish you could ask your printer to sort, staple and make finished sets? You can with a Digital Printer/Copier. Other multi-function features that are saving offices time & money are scanning, network faxing, internet faxing, mailbox store & print, and many, many more.

Print Quality

Digital standards today are 600 dpi (dots per inch) and higher, and since every print is an original, most people like the consistent quality of a Digital Printer/Copier.

Newest, Best Technology

Digital is the "Wave of the Future" and so if future flexibility and connectivity are important to your organization, todays new digital devices will be valuable.
