ABSTRACT

The company believes its investments to date in paperless technologies, mainly the development of a presence on the Internet, have been compensated promptly through improved communication among employees, and between the company and its customers. And the first target of opportunity is just down the hall from the corner office at the copying machine. The office machine industry classifies photocopiers according to the number of copies they will print per minute, and speed generally correlates to duplex copying ability. In a report on reducing office paper waste, Inform, Inc. concludes, “The largest increases in number of pages duplexed could be achieved by focusing efforts on high-capacity machines, typically found in centralized copying facilities.” For offices in which unwanted advertising mail is perceived to be a problem, there are effective solutions. The company employs 3,200 people in seven plants and more than 30 subsidiary and sales offices.
