Why Opt For Used Copiers
We know all too well how copiers make life easier especially for people with a white collar job. It could be for a wide array of reasons. It could be for documentation, filing or just simply reproduction of data. Making copies from copiers are basically cheaper and will require less time than recreating new versions of them from scratch. Here’s the rub, the copiers could cost a small fortune, and it requires a few years of using it before you can actually feel the return of investment.
What’s in these days is buying used copiers instead of brand new ones. Investing in used copiers could be beneficial for anyone on so many levels and that’s why a lot of people are shifting to used copiers instead of saving up for brand new ones.
A used copier is quite affordable, so to speak. A quality used copier could range from one third the price of a brand new one and even half the price of the modern ones. This will let you spread your investments into other things such as another copier or other equipment all as the cost of one brand new copier.
Used copiers even though old, could still provide the same quality of copies as those of brand new ones. Particularly if you don’t require any high end graphics or even details to be copied, used copiers will be more than sufficient.
Not a lot of people know how much they can save when they opt for used copiers. It’s recycling at its best. You are not only good to your pocket, but you also get to be eco-friendly and be an environmentalist in your own little way.
How about you? Would you go for a used copier? Or would you still choose the brand new ones? Why? Hit us with some comments!

Saving With A Refurbished Copier
Copiers are like cars. It loses value with time. A brand new copier costs a heck lot, it can range from $9,000 to more than $50,000. With a used one, you can have it50% to 75% of the original price. And just like cars, used copiers have warranties and work very well for a long time. But unlike cars, it’s hard to tell the difference between a brand new copier machine and a used one.
Generally speaking, a great used copier seller will only be selling you ones that have low usage. Typically, they have worn parts replaces. As a matter of fact, majority of refurbished copiers come from short-term rentals, off-lease contracts and repossessions, among others, and they have been used less than three months.
More to these, majority of these machines contain an internal copy counter that is able to keep track of the number of copies that it was able to produce in its lifetime. A reputable refurbished copier company will, without hesitations, show you the copy counter and provide a warranty on the used copier that you buy.
The economy is hard. Times like these, you want to see to it that your business is squeezing the value out of every last dollar and cent. Creating a hole in your pocket for a new copier is nonsensical, when you can just but a certified refurbished copier at markets 50-75 percent of the original price. Buying a certified used copier is a sensible move. It can give your office the productivity it need for years to come, sans the astounding cost of a brand new copier.

Do XEROX machines use PM DC motors?
Question by magical me: Do XEROX machines use PM DC motors?
I need a high voltage low rpm pmdc motor.. are they used in xerox machine (coz i happened to read this somewhere on the net)?? If not, where else are they used?
Best answer:
Answer by billrussell42
I doubt it, but there are many thousands of different models made by Xerox Corp. and I doubt even an engineer working at Xerox knows what kind of motors were used in each and every one of those tens of thousands.
There are lots of PM DC motors around, but mostly they are low voltage models. There is no reason to design a high voltage unit unless very high power is required, and high power motors are not PM DC motors.
(I interpret “high voltage” as over 500 volts)

Is it possible to connect a standalone copier to the computer so that it could be used as a scanner?
Question by tom t: Is it possible to connect a standalone copier to the computer so that it could be used as a scanner?
What connecting wires might be needed?
Shouldn’t modern copiers have the ability to scan since it can store images in its memory so it is just a matter of finding a way to access the memory.
The particular copier that i am interested in is Canon GP405.

Answer by Peter_AZ
Technically, I’m sure it’s possible if the copier has some sort of output port. If there is no such port, (which may be likely), you’re out of luck.
If there is a port, you’d still need some sort of software on the computer to control the scanner in the copier, or at least to receive and interpret the bitstream as it comes in.
Considering that you can buy a scanner for well under $ 100 (including cables and software), I don’t think it would be cost-efficient to do it yourself.
The only other suggestion might be to search the copier’s website and see if they make such an option available.

Why are heated rollers used in photocopy machines?
Question by Sez1o1: Why are heated rollers used in photocopy machines?
In relation with static electricity, why are heated rollers used in photo copy machines?
Best answer:
Answer by Daniel
Essentially, a copier “paints” the photoreceptor drum or belt with static electricity, creating a patch of positively charged images of letters surrounded by negatively charged areas that will remain white.
Once the image of the document has been statically “painted” on the drum or belt, the copying system covers the plate with a negatively-charged black powder called toner. Wherever the toner particles find positively-charged areas on the photoreceptor, they will stick like the pepper flakes on a statically-charged comb. The toner will not stick to the negatively-charged areas of the belt or drum, so those areas will remain white.
After the toner particles have settled into the positively-charged areas, a sheet of paper is introduced above the photoreceptor. A Corona wire passes over this paper to give it a positive charge. The toner particles are transferred to the charged paper and now resemble the image of the original document. The toner is still in the form of a loose powder, however, so the new copy is pressed through a set of heated rollers known as a fuser. The heat of the fuser melts the toner into the paper permanently.

How much is a slightly used, in perfect condition HP PSC 1410v, all-in-one (printer copier scanner) worth?
Question by name: How much is a slightly used, in perfect condition HP PSC 1410v, all-in-one (printer copier scanner) worth?
still has all the cords and everything is clean and in perfect condition. I’m trying to sell it, but I’m not sure what I should ask for it. It’s been used maybe once to scan something and twice to print something, otherwise it’s sat in a box. I never print, scan or copy anything so its pointless for me to have it.. What should I sell it for?
Best answer:
Answer by Erik
It sells online new for $ 90-$ 100. Any piece of computer hardware pretty much drop about 50% of its value the second you buy it. Shoot for $ 50 or so. If you’re not desperate to be rid of it, you can always start at $ 70 and work yoru way down.

Q&A: I want to find out what to charge for my used copiers and printers?
Question by Waterstone: I want to find out what to charge for my used copiers and printers?
We bought two new copiers and are getting rid of several older copiers and printers purchased in 2002 and 2003. They are older, but still functional so we figured in this economy, fledgling businesses might want to purchase used equipment cheaply. I am not sure what to charge for them. Does anyone know of a site where I can figure out a fair cost? They are Ricohs and Xeroxes. I plan to list them on Craigslist…purchaser to haul away. We still have lots of supplies for the Xerox printers as well since we weren’t sure when the funding for the new copiers was going to come through from corporate.
These copiers and printers were $ 10,000-$ 40,000 when first purchased so I am pretty sure they are worth more than $ 35 now!
Best answer:
Answer by Ann S
One thing is see if your xerox printers are on the list from xerox to be used as trade in on newer models. Contact them by way of their website or if you have a rep from xerox that handled your account they would have this info. Also were the xerox supplies purchased from xerox or part of your metered supplies? If purchased you can ship back to xerox for credit . If part of your metered supplies you wouldn’t be able to get credit and should sell the supplies separately. Check with your rep.
In regards to your Ricohs basically the same applies. You just need to contact the rep for those products. If you want to out right sell I would check on eBay, Craigslist etc. and see what they go for.

Q&A: If a buy a used copy machine and docs are on the hard drive , Do i own them also?
Question by : If a buy a used copy machine and docs are on the hard drive , Do i own them also?
I seen on the news people can buy them for around 300$ and they have hard drives. They have docs saved on them. almost no companies will erase them. So if someone got one and it has trade secrets or other goodies from a company. Do they own them also when buying the machine?
Best answer:
Answer by Natty_Dread
As long as second hand copy machines are concerned, finding documents inside its hard drive after purchasing it doesn’t mean that you own those documents already. You can be held liable for copyright infringements, especially if you are going to use those materials personally. You only bought the machine in the first place and documents inside the machine you bought were not part of the transaction, unless it has something to do with the machine itself (e.g. machine manual).
