Reliable photocopiers for everyday workplace use
Photocopiers are used where multiple people rely on a shared device for copying, scanning, and document handling throughout the working day.
In practice, these are modern multi-function print devices that combine printing, copying, and scanning in a single system, designed for shared, higher-volume use.
This page focuses on photocopiers for shared, higher-volume environments. If you are still deciding between printers, photocopiers, or a combination of devices, our Printers & Photocopiers overview provides a useful starting point.
What our photocopiers are used for
Photocopiers are typically chosen where multiple users rely on a single device throughout the day.
Common uses include:
- High-volume copying and scanning
- Shared departmental printing
- Document archiving and distribution
- Secure handling of sensitive paperwork
We help workplaces select photocopiers that handle these tasks reliably, without disruption to normal operations.
Choosing the right photocopier
Not all photocopiers are the same, and headline specifications rarely tell the full story.
When recommending equipment, we consider:
- Expected monthly volume
- Number of regular users
- Speed and paper handling requirements
- Scanning and document workflow needs
- Long-term running costs and servicing
This ensures the photocopier fits the workplace, rather than the workplace adapting to the machine.
Cost control and transparency
Running costs matter just as much as purchase price.
We place particular emphasis on:
- Clear cost-per-copy pricing where appropriate
- Realistic toner coverage expectations
- Predictable servicing and maintenance
- Avoiding unnecessary add-ons
Our aim is to make photocopier costs easy to understand and simple to manage over time.
Integration with printing and document workflows
Where required, photocopiers can form part of a wider print and document setup, including scanning, secure printing, and basic document control.
Any additional software or configuration is introduced only where it adds genuine operational value.
Is a photocopier the right choice?
In some workplaces, a high-capacity printer or multi-function device may be more suitable than a traditional photocopier.
If you are unsure, we can help you assess whether a photocopier is the right option, or whether another setup would be more cost-effective for your needs.
