Call Out: Inefficient office equipment costs you more to “keep the lights on.”
You turn the lights off when you leave a room (or have motion sensors do it for you), adjust your cooling and heating to economize during non-work hours, but are you taking advantage of the energy-saving opportunities of your office equipment?

Want a smaller copier without compromising functionality or productivity? Multifunction copiers aren’t as big as they used to be…
As the saying goes, good things come in small packages. A multifunction copier is one of them.
Most of the time when people imagine a multifunction copier, they still envision this clunky, gray, off-white or white, couch-sized (okay, at least a love seat) piece of equipment –

Your copier’s hard drive could be a digital time bomb unless properly secured.
Your copier is hiding something from you – its hard drive.
These hidden hard drives in copiers prevalent since 2002 store images of every document that’s ever been copied, scanned, or emailed. This data remains stored on the hard drive until the drive becomes full then the old data is overwritten, but there’s always the potential for sensitive information to be stored on your copier’s hard drive. Though that copier in the corner of the office may appear innocent, it is ripe for hacking – and they are often overlooked.

Use your office copier to scan documents directly to cloud storage for quick and simple access later.
Even if you don’t follow technology at all, you’ve heard of “the cloud.” Often mentioned with a touch of reverence and a hint that the cloud will solve your technology challenges, cloud services really can bring huge personal and business productivity improvements when used correctly.

Color means many things to different people. It can be a symbol of a culture and a play on our emotions. It also captures our attention when we need it to.
Color has meaning. While traditional China sees white as the color of mourning, in Western culture white represents “cleanliness” and “purity” (or when taken to extremes, “sterility” or “coldness”). In Japan and most of England, black cats are a symbol of good luck; but are seen as a bad omen or bad luck in the West. Color has meaning (and, yes, the color scheme in McDonald’s is designed to get you to eat more!).

Imagine saving your thoughts to your cloud-based storage, retrieving it via the app, and printing when you were ready.
In an office, everyone and everything needs to be as productive as possible. Your copier already has many productivity benefits, but did you know you can now extend those benefits with an app?
There’s an “app for that” on most newer copiers, though most companies don’t realize it. Take a look at your multifunction printer (MFP) and navigate to the apps screen to find them.
