Copier Machines and Printers

Leading copier brands include Sharp, Canon, Xerox, Konica Minolta, and Ricoh, each known for reliability and advanced features. Southern Office Machines is a Sharp-authorized partner, offering the full line of Sharp multifunction printers and copiers backed by factory-trained technicians and flexible purchase, lease, or rental options.

The right option depends on cash flow, usage volume, and how often you plan to upgrade equipment. Leasing offers lower upfront costs and easy upgrades, renting suits short-term needs, and purchasing is ideal for long-term, high-volume use. Southern Office Machines offers all three options with pricing tailored to your budget.

A traditional copier only duplicates documents, while a multifunction printer (MFP) combines printing, copying, scanning, and faxing in one device. Most modern office equipment, including Sharp MFPs, integrates all these functions along with cloud connectivity and advanced security features for streamlined document workflows.

Modern Sharp devices include multi-layered security such as 256-bit AES encryption, up to 7-times data overwriting, audit trail logging, and Data Security Kits certified to Common Criteria standards. These features protect sensitive data in regulated industries like healthcare, government, and finance from unauthorized access.

Managed Print Services monitor your entire print fleet, automating toner replenishment, meter readings, and maintenance scheduling while tracking usage to control costs. Since unmanaged printing can exceed 3% of annual revenue, MPS is valuable for offices seeking to reduce waste and streamline document workflows.

Maintenance frequency depends on usage volume, but most businesses benefit from monthly, quarterly, or annual service agreements. Southern Office Machines' factory-trained technicians provide scheduled maintenance, automated meter reading, and toner auto-replenishment to keep devices running at peak performance with minimal downtime.
