Setting up an office can be a daunting task, but if you manage to find the right solution providers it’s not that crazy. Being a tech journalist gives you access to the latest and the best in technology before the world sees it. On the flip side, you are always at the disposal of your friends, family and followers who have endless queries. But as I always say, “it’s my job to help others understand technology and give suggestions or feedback.”
Last week a friend of mine who has is setting up his SME workplace called me for suggestions on the kind of printer and data server he should setup. Luckily, I had recently experienced the best of both printing solutions and data server solutions very recently. So, I asked him to meet and tell me what his requirements were. We met at my office where I showed him the WD disk server setup I’ve done and he was sold.
The printer setup I have at my office is a Laser Printer which did not suffice for him. What he required was a colour printer that is fast and is capable of printing 100-150 prints a day without any hiccups as well as a machine that scans and copies but in a modest budget. Also, he wanted it to be secure, available to all the users in his office and easy to operate. As luck would have it, I had recently attended a launch event by Canon where they showcased the new imageRUNNER C3020 colour device that matched my friend’s requirement. My friend was convinced with the information I shared about this new MFD from Canon but he wanted to have a look at it before he made the final decision.
Therefore, for his printing requirements, we visited the Chennai Print Expo where Canon was showcasing this machine – a colour MFD at a cost of Black & White machine.
