Is There Really a Difference Between Copiers and Printers?
Copiers make multiple copies, handle two-sided copying, and add finishing such as collating and stapling, which helps when sharing large documents with many people. Printers turn digital files into hard copies and are usually shared across an office so each user doesn’t need a personal machine. The two overlap in color, duplex, and speed, so the real difference is what each does best and where you’ll place it. Many offices keep both or use a multifunction machine, depending on volume, security needs, and budget.
