Keep Your Business ‘Green’ with Copiers

 

 

No matter the size of your business, maintaining a “green” environment should be an important part of the daily routine.  Copiers and other office equipment consume so much electricity, but there are several steps to keep in mind to save an abundance of energy.   This helps the environment as well as the office budget!

1.  Energy Star: Look for the Energy Star logo when buying office equipment. The logo ensures that the device has automatic power-management features and therefor a better use of energy. At Copiers Refurbished, the bulk of our inventory carries the  Energy Star logo.   Since we carry recent models by top copier brands such as Canon, Konica Minolta, Toshiba, Kyocera Mita, and Ricoh, we can offer amazing energy-saving refurbished copiers without charging the high prices often associated with such machines.

2. Recycle those cartrdiges: Most copier brands offer low-cost or free alternatives to recycling toner cartridges.  Many office supply companies such as Office Max also allow you to drop off cartridges at their location so that they can do the recycling for you. Some places even offer a few dollars per cartridge towards the purchase of office supplies as incentive!

3. Power down/Sleep modes:  Copiers consume the most energy of all types of office equipment and use power even when sitting idle. Turn copiers and printers off at night and on the weekends. Make sure to use the sleep mode feature available on copy machines to kick in when not in use. You’ll be surprise how much energy this alone saves the environment!

4. Print duplex: Electricity is not only used to create documents, but also for the production of the paper on which it is printed. Set your printer and copier to automatically default to making two-sided copies. When you are ready to purchase a copier for your business or upgrade to a newer model, our friendly staff here at Copiers Refurbished can guide you through the features of several different models to help you determine which is the best fit for your business. Many of the copiers we carry have the print duplex feature as well as other energy-saving capabilities!

5. Less = More: Consider buying a multifunctional copy machine for your business. This allows you to print, copy, fax, and scan all from a single device, which can reduce the amount of office equipment you have, reduce energy consumption, and save your business money in the long run. Most of the copiers we refurbish at Copiers Refurbished are multifunctional machines and are available in both black and white and color models.

 

Following  these few, simple  steps will keep your office environment greener and  keep budget costs down.  Copiers Refurbished cares about the environment, too, which is why we always have in stock “green” copiers to fit the  needs of any business.
