Copiers - A New Choice

"They're not dying off as quickly as everyone thought," Venice notes.

Charlie Watts, Sharp's senior manager for product marketing for the network office systems group, notes that industry analysts pegged analog copiers at well over 200,000 units sold annually—still a sizable market. He says the company's 60+ ppm analog copiers are "very successful. They always have been," partly because the machines' ability to run paper from the feeder results in very few to zero misfeeds—an important consideration in a production environment.
