Office Printers and Scanners

For a home office, a compact black & white or color MFP with laser print technology, network scanning, and mobile/cloud access is ideal. These units handle everyday printing, scanning, and faxing needs without the footprint or cost of a full production printer, while still offering business-grade security features.

It depends on cash flow and equipment lifecycle needs. Purchasing suits businesses wanting long-term ownership, leasing offers lower upfront costs with predictable payments and upgrade flexibility, and renting works well for short-term or project-based needs. Southern Office Machines offers all three options with custom pricing based on your budget.

Sharp MFPs and printers include the Sharp Security Suite with 256-bit AES encryption, up to 7-times data overwriting, network access controls, audit trail logging, and optional Common Criteria or Commercial Certified Data Security Kits. An End-Of-Lease data erasure feature also wipes stored data before device return.

Black & white MFPs are optimized for high-volume text-based printing at a lower cost per page, ideal for invoices, reports, and general documents. Color MFPs add full CMYK output for marketing materials, presentations, and color-critical documents, typically at 25-70 pages per minute depending on the model.

Managed Print Services monitor your entire print fleet, automating meter readings, toner replenishment, and usage reporting. This helps control costs—which can otherwise exceed 3% of annual revenue—while ensuring devices stay maintained and optimized for your business's actual printing patterns.

Southern Office Machines provides installation, remote technical support via LogMeIn Rescue, and on-site service from factory-trained, certified technicians. Maintenance is available through monthly, quarterly, or annual service agreements, or on a time-and-materials basis, covering the complete product line of copiers, printers, and MFPs.
