Powerful Scanning Feature | Kyocera Tasksalfa Multifunctional Printer / Scanner
Everyone knows it is sometimes a challenge when scanning a document, and knowing exactly where it will end up. A new powerful feature on the Kyocera Taskalfa 500ci series, 520i series and 820 series multifunctional copiers allows the user to browse a computer’s destination folders (or sub-folders) and send the scaned document directly to the selected folder as a PDF or other format. If you create a new folder on the computer it will automatically show up at the control panel of the MFP. The user can also “tag” additional Keywords while they scan. This makes it a dead simple filing system.
To compliment this great feature, 4 Office has created a new version of our “Index Search” software which provides the user with a simple web based search function for easy access to all your scanned documents. With OCR (optical character recognition) technology – you can literally search for any document by any number or letter reference within the document. You have to see it to appreciate how good this is.
Compared to some of the products that are out there, this makes a document management solution an affordable option for some of the small and medium businesses that might not otherwise consider this as an option.

Should I Buy a Retail Copier for My Business?
Many business owners are tempted by the seemingly low prices displayed by retail vendors for Photocopiers, Copier Printers and Multifunctional Printers. Others who have been down this road before have come to know that the supply costs on some of these devices can far outweigh the total unit cost much sooner than what you might expect. If you are thinking of printing or copying more than a few sheets a day, than you may want to consider a commercial unit.
Now supply cost is one thing, but what happens when your device starts having problems down the road? Even if your device is covered by a warranty in the first year, can you really afford to have your business offline for the time it takes to repair or switch your machine? Not to mention – the hassel of having to take care of it yourself? If you or your staff are running a serious business, it is likely that your collective time is worth more than that.
A retail unit is suitable for a small home office, but even for a single user – it can become expensive over time. It’s hard to believe, but there are still many offices out there where there is a laser printer on every persons desk. In recent years, more businesses have moved toward leasing decentralized multifunctional devices which can be printed too by many individuals in one department – reducing the total number of print devices, lowering the cost per copy, saving on electricity costs as well as maintenance costs as well. It is almost like the difference between heating your house with a bunch of tiny electric space heaters, or investing in a fuel efficient natural gas furnace that is built to heat the entire house. That is what some businesses are actually doing out there – running on a bunch of tiny expensive devices.
Smart business owners understand the principle behind investing in a more robust machine that will ultimately have a lower cost per copy and cost of ownership.
Ultimately the choice is yours, and I have advice for both scenarios. If you choose to get by on a small retail machine for now, make sure you measure how much it is costing you. If you decide that it is time to invest in a more suitable machine for your business, make sure you research the quality of the unit. You will want to invest in something that is reliable and user friendly. Also – make sure you buy from a dealer or VAR that can provide you with a 4 hour service guarantee. Your business can not afford to wait for a technician two days after you have placed a service call.

Multifunctional Copiers – The Unsung Hero Of Your Business
The photocopier has come a long way since 1949, when xerographic technology was first introduced by xerox. It used to be that companies would pay an arm and a leg for photocopiers that had limited capabilities ( usually one sided copies at very low speeds), not to mention low reliability. Fast forward to today, where now have multifunctional printers – devices that can now not only copy, but also be used as printers, fax machines, network scanners, not to mention a host of other specialized features. As the cost for these devices has continued to decrease over the years, it can truly be said that most businesses today enjoy enormous value compared to businesses even 5 or ten years ago. Many of us take for granted the technological advances we enjoy in present day society. The way computers continue to evolve every year with more processing power. How mobile phones and hands free technologies enable us to do more while on the go. Most people tend to take this attitude toward office technology far too often I find. It is rare that a person reflects on how these devices facilitate and support their businesses. More often than not, we only really pay close attention to these devices when they fail to work correctly – which I find leads to a bit of a negative perception.
Next time, when you use your photocopier or multifunctional device, perhaps reflect on how this device makes your life easier – and picture how your business would run without it.
Samsung 6345 Copier | Multifunction | Printer
A solid multifunction, built for mid-sized offices and work groups.
The Samsung 6345 is a powerful multifunctional in a smaller package.
Designed to be a business solution that fits into any budget, the 6345 is loaded with features and can be easily integrated into any business environment. Quality images, useful features and a simple interface round out this all-in-one machine. The Samsung 6345 is a high-capacity machine that copies, prints, scans and faxes and relies on digital technology. With a duty cycle of 200,000 pages and a small footprint design built for multi-tasking, it is a great addition to any medium sized office or workgroup.
Simple Interface:
Users can see why the 6345 stands out right from the start. The easy to use interface makes operation a breeze. Based on touch screen technology and fully integrated software, the screens are easy to navigate. This allows users to manage print and copy jobs from the interface. Easily move jobs in the queue to ensure important jobs finish first and use the advance functions to complete manage job functionality – all from the 7-inch screen.
Modular Design:
Samsung has designed the 6345 with the end user in mind. From paper handling to operation, the machine is built around the belief that adding modules, paper and toner should be easy. It comes with a 520 page cassette as well as a 100 sheet tray, but users can opt to add up to 3 more 520 page cassettes, meaning paper will need to be refilled less often. Because of the modular design, adding extra memory, a finisher or changing toner cartridges is easy – they simply slid in. Finally, the 6345 was designed to reduce paper jams by adding additional paper clearance. In the rare event a jam does occur, the easy to read display walks users through clearing the jam.
Office Copier: 45 ppm
See how the 6345 stands out from other copiers. The copier function is exceptionally powerful and is designed to create clear and crisp copies while saving paper. With a speed of 45 copies per minute, users can choose from a variety of paper saving options such as ID copy and auto-fit copy. Other features like poster copy, which allows users to print images onto multiple sheet to create a poster images and margin shift, which shifts the image to allow for binding or hole punches, make it possible to create professional posters, displays, books and more.
Office Printer: 45 ppm
The printer function is just as powerful. The 6345 allow users to store letterhead and other forms into the memory and then print documents right onto this stock. This reduces the need to preload letterhead. With a speed of up to 45 pages per minutes, the 6345 also has a special toner saving feature that allows users to select TonerSave and save as much as 40% of the toner without a noticeable reduction in the quality of print. Features like collating, proofing, private printing and job storage make the 6345 one of the most useful multifunction printers available today.
Office Fax:
The fax feature allows users to easily send and receive faxes. For additional security, users can request their incoming faxes be held in the 6345’s memory until they wish to retrieve them.
Office Scanner:
Finally, the 6345 can serve as a great tool for storing and managing your paper documents into digital form. Additional software can turn this machine into a full document management and digital archiving center.
