![]() This makes copying more ideal for lower quantities than for larger quantities. Moneywise, fixed and affordable prices are associated with the number of copies the customers may wish to have. Besides that, preparations are not anymore needed as digital copiers are always ready for the next copy job. This saves their customers the trouble of waiting in line and wasting a lot of their precious time. Copy shops now have more machines ready to cater to the copying needs that people require. In photocopying, especially digital photocopying, a fast turnaround is given not only in large quantities but also in smaller ones. Multifunction devices combine a printer, copier and scanner into one device, giving you all the options, as well as the option of fax. However, any devices combine the two functions today. Scanners are the tool for business owners that want to go 'paperless', yet if the paper is your medium of choice for document transmission and recording, then a copier will suffice. When you press the button for scanning, you may be faced with a pop-up message, asking you what to do next - scan to folder or email. In contrast, scanning requires users to have a basic knowledge of computers to manage the transmitting, storage and editing of scans. Additional buttons are available to change the print quality or increase the number of copies. Most photocopiers require users to press a button to start the photocopying process. ![]() If the machine is a scanner, it stores a digital copy of the image and transmits it to a computer (via email or network), or stores it on a USB or memory card.Ĭopying documents is a simpler process than scanning. If the machine is a photocopier, it merely prints the digital image onto one or more blank sheets of paper. The next stages of the process are quite different, however. You then push a button and the machine acquires a digital image of the document. You place a document on the platen - the flat glass surface on the top of the device, or in the document feeder (which allows multiple sheets to be copied or scanned at once). The beginning processes of photocopying and scanning are identical. It can be hard to distinguish the difference between a photocopier and a scanner as they appear to operate in similar ways, yet the method of output is vastly different. As technology has developed, the majority of photocopiers in offices today are 'multifunction' devices. Photocopiers are standard pieces of office equipment and have been since the 1970s. This development is indeed creating a thin line between photocopying and printing. That you would rather have them printed and spend more money to have a presentable print result, it cannot be denied though that copiers are getting more sophisticated and going digital as time goes on. There was a time when photocopying is something you do not consider an option for your printing materials. Printing & Photocopying, what's the difference? ![]()
