Why are photocopiers so much faster than making copies with a PC, scanner, and printer?

coz a photocopier has all its memory and function just for photocopying, computers with scanners have other tasks being performed taking up its memory plus you can multi run a photocopier

a combo printer/scanner? imho, it depends what you are using it for and what you can afford. if you are doing professional quality work with a large, daily workload, pay as much as you can afford. if you are doing mostly text with some graphics, get the cheapest one that has the features you need.\n\nfor a printer/scanner combo, i would say expect to pay 200-300.

Most All-In-Ones (including HP) will allow the printer to function, even without scanning capabilities.\n\n§§

Since USB is a flash memory computer can read the data fastly.But when u r copying from computer to USB,Computer fetches data from Hard disk which takes more time than Flash memory.So it takes more time to copy from computer to USB than USB to PC

You can use some as a copier but you can't put a file into a fax machine and print it.

Because Manufacturers can replicate light/temp/humidity etc very easially these days using modern technology. They can work out how much sun light etc a photo will be exposed to in that period (100 yrs) and replicate intensively dratically reducing the time needed to test the paper.

Ok, first of all, unless you are buying a laser printer that can handle input from DOS and uses an internal font, then the computer is sending VASTLY more than a few K to print even a simple letter.\n\nThe reason is that the image is sent over as (for example) a 600 x 600 dpi bitmap.  If you are printing a full page, it can be in the megabytes in theory.\n\nI do agree though, that the computer will handle this effortlessly.\n\nAs for whether this is a feature or not, it is a way to make the printer cheaper - like video cards that use the computers memory - if you are after a REALLY cheap printer, this might fit the bill nicely.\n\nDo bear in mind though, that COLOUR lasers can be found for under £200 / $400 if you shop around. It may be out of your price range, but if if "close", perhaps something to conisder....

Any printer/scanner that is XP compatible will work.  Your next question(s) should concern the cost of operating and the quality of the output.  Buying a printer that prints 4 pages per minute as opposed to one that prints 20 pages per minute for a minimal difference in price as well as a higher quality output should also be considered.  If all you want is a cheap printer - you can probably buy one used.

Just buy a new printer, it will be cheeper & faster.

we used microsoft ACCESS here at work; this program is very powerful and will help you organize, see and print information on customers or other records in a variety of forms, this is useful if you have data that you'll be inputting yourself electronically\n\nif you have a lot of paper that you want to store electronically the way to go would be to get a high-speed, high quality scanner (these can be leased) and either buy a big file server or burn the stuff to CDs

Usually the best is the most expensive, and the cheapest is not the best.\n\nUse OmniPage for the best one.\nUse (The software bundled with your scanner) as the cheapest

High tech scanners, printers and the right kind of paper. passports are relatively easy to forge from what I've read (as compared to currency).

I will have to concur Lexmarks are horrible horrible machines. \nOn top of having substandard quality, and uninspired technology they charge you an arm leg and buttock for inks.

if you have a small amount of pictures, you can use a standard flatbed scanner to do the job.\n\nIf you have lots of pictures, and you are very organized, take the 35mm negatives to develop to a photo CD, that will save you some time,and they will have higher quality compared to scanning.\n\nLast and most expensive solution will be to buy a scanner with a photo feeder, that will allow you to scan the photos with relative ease, but expect to expend 200 USD or more. A good photo feed scaner is the Epson Perfection 2480 (jabout 150 on ebay with the photo feeder!!!).
