Office Equipment, Paper Shredders, Printers and Fax Machines

In most modern UK office workplaces we are working day in and day out with more and more office equipment machines and it is vitally important all office equipment we use such as printers, faxes and paper shredders are the most energy efficient, productive and secure elements of our business life.

Office Printers

Although we aim to be a paperless environment, printers and fax machines are still a vital part of our working life. We use printers to transfer information from our workstations to somewhere within the office or more likely to the outside world by printing information onto paper.

Printer prices can vary from the cost of a desk inkjet printer that allows the occasional document to be printed with ease to bulk use multifunctional printers that use laser technology to print fast and economically. With the different types of printer available a business must make sure they pick the correct printer to join their office equipment matching a specific role in the office.

Office Fax Machines

Faxes are a technology that utilizes printing and telephony to transmit documents across large distances and print them on the other side. A fax machine (or facsimile machine) is essentially a printer and a photocopier in one. A document is fed through the fax machine where it is photocopied and instead of being printed it transmits the document across a telephone line to another fax machine elsewhere in the world where it is printed.

Like printers it is very important to make sure the correct type of fax machine is selected to join your office equipment as the volume of faxes you receive through one machine mean that for heavy use, you should invest in a fax machine with large buffer memory and fast printing.

Office Shredders

Passwords secure our PCs from intrusion but technology does not protect documents from being misused and although there is large media focus and government attention on securing personal documents (such as bank statements) it is equally important to protect business documents from intrusion. Paper shredders are used at home and at work and are relatively new to the office equipment family. Like all types of office equipment, paper shredders have different levels of functionality dependant on their required role in the office.

On the budget spectrum of paper shredder cost is the small home office use shredder that will shred around 5 sheets at a time, has a small bin and shreds in vertical strips. The budget paper shredder is fine if used less often but when an office needs to shred important documentation then a stronger approach is needed. With most large offices their paper shredder is able to dispose of 10-20 sheets at a time, quickly and often with a cross cut or confetti cut catching shredded paper in a large bin.
