When the first office copiers were developed and marketed a few decades ago they were true wonders of modern technology. They weighed hundreds of pounds, occupied the floor space of a medium sized refrigerator and office workers everywhere would watch in amazement as they hummed squealed and buzzed while they made their copies. At that time, no one could have imagined what was to become of those earlier machines in terms of technological advancements, but here we are today with office copiers that are literally packed with an ever increasing functions.

Modern Feature Laden Office Copiers

Aside from all of the integrated functions that come in todays modern office copiers they have also shrunk in size considerably and are whole lot less expensive then they used to be. Also, they are maintenance free, which people now take for granted. However; people who were around in the early days of office copiers can remember how the early models spent many hours with "their hood up" while a befuddled repair man tinkered with it.

Thermal Printers Print Labels on Fabric

With today's multi-function office copiers, you can scan, print and copy as well as fax all with the same lightweight machine that fits easily on the top of a desk. Thermal printers can even print text and images on fabric, as well as many types of rough uneven media. This type of printer is perfect for any number of commercial applications including label making.

Memory Capacity

As time progresses new technological features just keep being added to today's office copiers including memory function that will store text and images in the machine for later printing. Also, office copiers with memory capacity are also available that function with a a memory stick that enables a user to transfer text and images directly from the Internet to the copy machine.
