Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Nov 13, 2013 @ 07:11 AM
I have observed over the past fifteen years that the daily life of a copier technician has undergone a significant change. These critical customer support people have seen more change in their careers than in most industries. In the copier/mfp dealership I have been involved with there is a team of very experienced and long serving technical experts who daily respond to clients and solve their issues.

Storing data from your I.T. network is something that is often just taken for granted. After all, what is the purpose of the systems we all use at work? Is it not to produce and manage information that is constantly flowing between internal and external contacts. Whether it is customer data, supplier data, marketing material, product reference material or internal employee data this material is the substance of what makes a business tick and run smoothly.

Buying A Windows 8 Computer May Obsolete Other Accessories
Posted by Lee Kirkby on Wed, Oct 23, 2013 @ 08:10 AM
One of the things that we are noting with clients who have moved to new computer hardware running Windows 8 is they are surprised to find out that there are no drivers available for accessories they already own. They have assumed that if their printer, scanner, fax or other peripheral has worked with Windows XP, Vista or 7 they will be able to hook it up with Windows 8 and continue its use.

Your Colour Print Service Invoice Was A Shock | What To Do
Posted by Lee Kirkby on Mon, Sep 23, 2013 @ 08:09 AM
Colour printers and mfp devices are much more common in offices. I find that we are placing as many colour capable devices as mono only especially in offices with only one print device. The reasons are fairly obvious since we live in a colour world and most companies need to be able to produce at least some of their output with colour features.
