Copier Printers and Scanners

Most multifunction printers have a dedicated 'Copy' button or icon on the touchscreen control panel. Place your document on the scanner glass or in the automatic document feeder, select copy mode, adjust settings like quantity and color, then press start. If copying doesn't work, check that the device drivers and network connections are properly configured.

A traditional copier only duplicates paper documents, while a multifunction printer (MFP) combines printing, copying, scanning, and faxing into one integrated device. Sharp MFPs offered by Southern Office Machines also include network connectivity, cloud access, and advanced security features, making them a more versatile choice for modern offices.
