Facts and Tips to Buy Fax Machines

A potential buyer of fax machines needs to consider a lot of factors, extensively, before ensuring the best buy. The features like; its print quality, its efficiency, the price tag and the speed it operates with are only few of them to be considered.

The list of considerations can be long one. Here is a sincere attempt to help out any buyer of fax machines. The tips mostly depend on the facts what one should expect of the fax machines.

User Friendly: The simpler the functions are the easier it is to be used. The simple operational system saves time and avoids confusion.

Shades and colors: The best machine is that machine which can ensure the maximum shades( sixty four) of gray to all printed documents. Many machines can give color prints too, but at a high cost.

Determining image quality: Most of the good machines give a buyer options to determine the image quality one receives. The best machine can print a single image in four different qualities.

Paper Storing Capacity: The best fax machine has a bigger paper storage tray. It prevents the sudden run-out of the papers. Also it can store a number of incoming documents.

Memory: If the quantum of the daily transmission is high, then the fax machine should need no less than 3.5-5.0 megabytes of memory for an enhanced function. The extra-memory helps to store the incoming information when the machine runs out of paper.

Modem Speed: The modem speed, according to the standards, should be at least 33.6. Anything lesser will hamper outgoing and incoming transmissions of the documents.

Sound Technology: Many machines come with integrated digital devices. They can have functions like; speaker phones, auto redialing and polling etc. A better technologically equipped machine is capable to enlarge or reduce a copy size efficiently. Many hi-tech fax machines come with features like delayed transmission etc.

Machine type describes print quality and expenses:
Buying a film-cartridge fax machine may prove cheaper, but leads to a “feel bad” print quality. Though investing a little more in an ink jet fax machine can get a comparatively better print. However, buying a laser fax machine can burn some holes in the pocket but lead to some glossy prints.

Samsung Printers To De-stress The Users

Famous for its wonderful innovations, Samsung Electronics has launched a couple of qualitative compact printers which are not only cost effective but they are here to lessen the work stress in the office too.

These mono laser printers, ML-1640 and ML-2240 , have been made, according to Samsung officials, especially for home based offices.

Madhav Narayan, general manager, Samsung Gulf Electronics, said, “Samsung understands the challenges that businesses face in an increasingly competitive environment, and have developed a range of intelligent total printing solutions to meet business users’ most pressing needs.”

As he says, these office automation products are loaded with many features to serve a user in the most possible ways. Their optimized mechanism can give a noiseless printing, that too at a great speed. Hence, these features make these printers most effective for low budget offices and home-based users.

Not only that they are here to execute printing efficiently, they are beautifully colored as well. The ML-2240 comes in black and grey finish, while the ML-1640 looks sleek black.

Their paper tray dispensers can hold 150 sheets at a time which prevent a user from early re-stocking. Further, the ML-2240 has an output capacity of 22ppm, while ML-1640 can print as much as 16 pages per minute. These features help a lot to save time in an already busy office.

The latest models are told to be too cost effective. Both models come with “ Toner Save” buttons on them. They are capable of saving more or less 30 percent of toner. Definitely, this feature will help a lot to save cost and toner.

Moreover, the “Error LED” on these printers help a user to deal with the printer problems easily and quickly. This results in less disturbances in the office related operations.

Apart from causing minimized troubles in the office, they have the added features to help a user reduce the noise factor immensely. To the much comfort of users, these two printers, ML-1640 and ML-2240 can work producing noise of 50 decibels and 51decibles only.

Switch off Incandescent Bulbs, Switch On CFL

Many science led inventions and discoveries provided us with great relief and relaxation. However, the same innovations, gifted their negatives also, though being projected as boons for mankind. The traditional light bulb can be the best suitable example.

The traditional light bulbs or incandescent bulbs despite helping the world come out of darkness, have threatened, constantly, to add continuous menaces to an already on-the-edge eco-system.

For long the scientists and technologists had been in search of its alternative. After some some trials, they came up with CFL's or compact fluorescent lamps, as said in full.

Though their explicit advantages are very much visible, the peoples' indifference towards their usage has lessen their potential contribution in making this world a better place.

Almost 12-15 percent of world's electricity is consumed to provide sufficient light. Ironically, a major share of the energy assigned to the lighting purpose is irrationally consumed by those inefficient traditional light bulbs.

Hence, their increased usage, due to booming infrastructures around the world, has led to nothing but climate destruction, global warming and paralyzed eco-system.

The traditional light bulbs' irrational energy-gobbling capacity, and more irrational ability of too-dim light production are evidences more than enough to force any responsible citizen to abandon their useage.

For example; according to a study, an incandescent bulb converts only 4-5 percent of consumed energy into light. Surely, a complete wastage! However, a CFL, if used, can produce the same quantum of light saving more than 80% percent of energy.

Moreover, their life span is more than 8-10 times longer than any ordinary bulb. Definitely, it can be a best buy as it not reduces only the global warming dangers, it minimizes the holes in your pockets too.

The countries like Canada and Australia have initiated various programs to persuade people to switch to the use of CFL's. Last year, Paris saved almost 60-70 percent of light on Christmas while the lighting of Champs-Elysee, when they used these modern light bulbs.
