Copy - Sharp MX-7000N Manual

Copy

Copying is the standard feature on every MFP on the mar-
ket and is increasingly being offered either as an option or
a separate model within network printer product ranges.
Before being wowed by headline speeds and advanced
features, consider that the most common copy job is a
single set of a simplex document that is five pages or less
with no finishing and no changes to image quality default
settings.
Small, Simple Jobs
Despite the wealth of features that MFPs offer today, most users will not be
prepared to wade through countless screen menus to get to the point where
they can press the Start button. Think in terms of human productivity, not
device productivity. Reporting the productivity of the device from the mo-
ment the green start button is pressed until the final page comes out does
not consider the most costly element in the copying process: the user's
time.
Large, Complex Jobs
Even for big jobs—where you may think engine speed plays a larger role—
the simple start-key-to-finish-line productivity measurement approach again
disregards the user. The user is less likely to wait at the copier for larger and
more complex jobs. They will look for features such as a quick and easy job
setup menu; fast scanning (so they can return to their desk with the originals
faster); email notification when the job has finished (eliminating the guess-
work of when to return to the device to collect the job); or the ability to build
a job using a mix of pages scanned from the document feeder and platen.
Features or Benefits?
Many copy features that are overlooked by the masses are critical time
savers in niche workflow environments. For example, medical offices or car
dealerships need to copy insurance and license cards. A card copy feature
allows the user to scan the first side of the card, turn the card over, scan the
second page, and produce a single-sided copy with both sides of the card
on the single sheet. This saves 50 percent on paper and the print click-cost
charged by the dealer.
Copier Concurrency
Concurrency, the ability to handle multiple tasks at the same time, varies
greatly in workgroup devices. Some devices can not accept a copy job while
a print or copy job is in progress. If a connected MFP is carrying out either
job, a walk-up user must wait for the job to finish before they can scan in
their copy job.
My Copier
MFP design is moving away from proprietary, closed systems and embrac-
ing open architecture and IT standards like .NET and Java. This opens the
door to greater flexibility in the way the walk-up experience can be tailored
to each user. Coupled to this ability is the growing need to account for all
device usage for security, compliance or cost considerations. These two
trends can result in a "My Copier"-type experience where each user is greet-
ed with their favorite settings when logging in.
