I couldn’t believe my ears the other day when IT blurted it out – “configure your multifunctional device to scan directly to an account on Google docs”. Up until now, I hadn’t been too excited about cloud computing, but Google docs is something I use almost every day to share and manage documents with clients and colleagues. Everyone these days seems to have a Google account, so this kind of solution will likely appeal to at least some of those users.
Has the used machine been properly re-conditioned or re-manufactured?
Have you researched the equipment brand / model?

The Kyocera TASKalfa 552ci is the newest addition to one of the copier industries leading manufacturers. It has recently won a very strong rating from BLI test labs, earning 4.5 out of 5 stars. 


It could be that more companies are switching back towards mono devices as a cost cutting strategy, despite the fact that the impression cost on some colour devices is very competitive with some commercial units these days.
