This document outlines 3 questions to ask when selecting a copier: 1. Consider the performance needed - do you only need copying or other functions like faxing, scanning, and printing features. A copier only for copying will be cheaper. 2. Determine the average monthly copy volume to ensure the copier can handle current and future needs. Overestimating volume helps select a copier that won't become insufficient over time. 3. Check the copier speed in pages per minute, which ranges from 20-75 ppm. Choosing the right speed ensures your copier matches your office's needs.
