Choosing and purchasing the perfect multifunction copier shouldn't be a chore--but with the stress of finding a machine that will solve problems without creating new ones, things can start to seem complicated. Luckily, there are a few simple steps that can make buying multifunction copiers a breeze.

Homework, Homework, Homework

No matter what you're buying, it's important to do your homework before you ever step foot in a store or put anything in your online shopping cart--and multifunction copiers are no exception. It helps to know what your company needs before you have to face questions about functions, price, and longevity, and it helps, even more, to be sure of what's not going to work so you don't have to waste time. (Tip: Always make sure that you do your research on connectivity before you ed up with a copier that doesn't work with your existing devices or network!)

3 Simple Steps

Once your homework is done, it's time to start the buying process--and that's easier than you might think.

Step 1: Consider functions.

Remember, multifunction copiers usually combine copy, print, fax, and scan capabilities--but that doesn't mean you need all that. Rely on your research and make sure you get a machine that fills your needs but doesn't come with anything you'll never use.

Step 2: Ask about support.

No matter what happens, you always want to know what a support contract will cover. Maintenance and repairs will come up, no matter how much you pay for a multifunction copier--so know ahead of time what to expect.

Step 3: Make a call on cost.

Cheaper copiers will cost you more over time than machines that have a high up-front price. Factor in things like consumables, ask yourself how much money this machine could save you, and then make a call based on all the research you've done.
