The Difference between A3 & A4 Printers

Paper Sizes A3 VS A4 Many offices use only letter and legal sized paper. However some offices use the larger ledger size for engineering documents, making booklets, menus, and design layouts. Ledger size paper is the same size as two letter sized pages put together. This makes booklet making easy by simply folding the paper in half. Also because of the large size it is useful for enlarging engineering diagrams to a readable size. Ledger is also great for printing large spreadsheets on. It’s much easier to read a spreadsheet printed on ledger sized paper. The Size Difference between A3 and A4 Machines Since an A4 machine is designed to work with A4, letter, legal and smaller paper sizes it has smaller internal components. This allows for a more compact design which results in a machine that takes up less space than the larger A3 machine. And that’s a great feature for small offices. On the other hand, an A3 machine is designed to work with the larger A3; ledger sized paper and has larger more durable internal components. These results in a larger frame and it will require more space than an A4 machine. Available Options On A3 and A4 Machines             The smaller and lighter A4 machines generally have only light duty options available. For example, if the machine has a stapler option it may be limited to stapling only 20 pages at a time. There might not even be a large capacity tray, folder, 3-hole punch, or finisher available for the machine. If you require equipment options such as large capacity trays, 3-hole punching, folding, finishing, or stapling 50 or more sheets at a time than you will likely need a full size A3 machine to handle these tasks. Cost difference between A3 and A4 Machines The larger more robustly designed A3 machine will cost more in terms of equipment costs. And the A4 machines with their smaller lighter frames and lower yielding internal components will cost less in terms of equipment costs. But equipment costs are not the only thing you should be keeping an eye on. You should also be paying close attention to how much it will cost to use the machine. Service and supplies are not cheap. Service and supply costs are generally higher on A4 machines. This is because the A4 machine has consumable items that are light duty and do not have high page yields. In addition, many of the internal units are disposable and are not designed to be repaired or maintained. So while the A4 machine costs less, they typically cost more to use on a per page basis than the larger A3 machine. You’re monthly printing/copying volume will be the key to determining which machine is most cost effective for your office. If you’re only running 1000-4000 pages a month than even with higher per page costs the A4 will usually be the most cost effective. If you’re monthly printing/copying volume is above 4500 pages a month an A3 machine might be a better fit. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

Copier improvements translate into increased worker productivity and reduced costs. If you see the use of your copier changing, increasing or decreasing speak to your copier sales representative about options and ask for right-sizing recommendations. An upgrade should entail evaluating your current printing and scanning needs. Are you printing more color pages, scanning larger document sets, or need more finishing capabilities. Your copier partner will create a recommendation and proposal to right-size your copier(s). If your needs increase you may want to swap your existing MFPs with an additional quantity of MFPs or with more powerful MFPs.  If your requirements lessen a fleet downsizing may be needed, reduce the quantity of MFPs or lower the capabilities of the existing MFPs. Upgrading or downgrading your copier lease will affect your lease payments and service payments. The costs will change based on the higher or lower cost copier(s) equipment and service print volumes.   Also affecting your lease payment is the amount of time remaining on your existing lease. Upon your approval of copier recommendation and proposal and the signing of an order agreement, copiers will be returned to leasing company and replacement copiers installed and connected to your IT network. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

These questions are an excellent start to help you find answers to how office equipment investment can build, improve, and enhance your workflow. Office Equipment and Business Operations First of all, office equipment has a notable impact on operations. It’s true – from employee traffic to productivity-boosting, availability, and access to machines to use and supplies – office equipment that works and can complete a job quickly and efficiently is critical to any business operations. Next, consider bringing functions together in one machine – for example, instead of having a printer, fax machine, scanner, and copier, you can invest in a multifunction printer that will combine all of these tools into one efficient device. Optimizing Workflows For optimizing workflows, you’ll benefit from having a multifunction printer as well. You can use the machine to digitize documents, communicate with teams and clients, and make edits or implement finishing features quickly and without hassle. Then, you can also cut back on equipment storage, running around the office, and other inefficient habits by having everything in one tool. Optimizing workflows might even be as easy as getting the right equipment after all. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296

Do all MFPs Do the Same Thing?

Multifunction printers have become widely popular with small and home businesses. For a good reason, MFPs reduce energy, save up space, and increase productivity by integrating traditional office duties such as printing, faxing, copying, and scanning into one device. Even if you don’t fax, monitor, or copy regularly, an MFP can do so if required. But do all MFP devices offer the same features? The simple answer is no, but the features you want on your MFP are up to you. Choosing Your MFP Choosing an MFP starts with one essential question: What will it need to do? Beyond printing, copying, and scanning, what additional functions will be necessary regularly? High-volume MFPs can produce colour prints as fast as 65 pages per minute, but if those services aren’t used within the business, they may not be worth the extra cost. Instead, an honest assessment of office requirements will help determine the most pressing needs for an MFP ad guide purchasing decisions. Printing If printing is your primary use of an MFP, it would be essential to look into an MFP to match your printer capabilities. More expensive models are typically designed for higher print speeds and heavier use. Fortunately, there is a wide selection of available MFPs based on both inkjet and laser printing engines. There are even MFPs that excel in colour photo printing. Faxing Some MFP devices no longer include fax modems, which is acceptable for businesses that do not need to exchange faxes with customers or vendors when it comes to faxing. Faxing is still handy for sending/receiving documents requiring signatures, but setting up your fax service involves connecting to a phone line. A regular phone line can be shared with a fax machine if tying up the phone line while sending/receiving faxes is not a concern. Otherwise, a separate phone line is needed. If you need fax capability but don’t want the hassle and expense of setting up your fax, several online services allow you to send and receive faxes via email, web, or smartphone. Scanning Most MFPs come with a low to medium resolution scanning unit designed for document scanning. Suppose you need high-resolution scanning of photos or other media-like slides or negatives. In that case, you will want a separate standalone scanner or an MFP specialising in photo scanning/printing, such as the Canon Pixma line of MFPs. When considering which MFP to add to the office environment, there are many factors to consider. Most importantly, keep in mind the guiding question: What will it need to do? As with all other essential office infrastructure, an MFP is an investment. However, if chosen correctly and in line with the business’s needs, an MFP can streamline workflow, facilitate a more productive work environment, and keep up with all the business’s demands, no matter the volume or intensity of the job at hand. *Other Model Available RICOH MPC3503/MPC5503 RICOH MPC3504/MPC5504 Contact Us: 03-3341 6296 | 018-788 6296 | 018-228 6296
