After all, the color copier is not in one step, and it has gone through several milestone processes.
Since Carlson, a bachelor of physics in the United States, invented xerography in 1938, after more than 60 years of development, xerography has basically developed into a mature technology and is widely used in copiers, laser printers and ordinary paper fax machines.
Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of computer, laser, digital technology and network, the pace of the information age has pushed the development of xerography technology to a new peak.
Not only has the copier itself changed from analog to digital, but the traditional black-and-white copying has also begun to transition to two-color, multi-color and full-color copying. The color copier has also brought the application of electrostatic copying technology to the extreme, which has really formed a major attraction in the office automation system industry.
Since 1985, Canon, Toshiba, Ricoh, Konica, American Xerox and Lexmark have successively developed digital color copiers, which have been put into the market in an all-round way.
From a technical point of view, the biggest advantage of applying digital technology to color copy is that it can correct and adjust the color separation characteristics and color balance by computer, so as to get high-quality color copies.
Therefore, whether it is color separation or color separation, digital color copier has greater advantages than analog color copier.
American Xerox needs to influence more senior leaders like Frank.
A few years ago, copier giants targeted the color printer market, partly to avoid price wars in the low-end market.
At present, Xerox has a 36% share in the high-end color copier market, and its rental cost exceeds $6,543.8+$5,000.
However, Xerox understands that staying in this small market is not a long-term solution after all, and its competitor Canon is the first in the color and black-and-white copier market.
Ricoh, Toshiba and Konica also have good competitive strength.
HP also hopes that by using excellent color palette, its corporate customer copier can become a multifunctional office product.
Peter Crane, a senior scientist at Xerox, pointed out, "Now, color has become synonymous with this market game.
"
The competition for major companies to enter the color copier market is partly driven by the Internet, werPoints slides and countless marketing manuals.
Because the demand for color products is very strong, the profit of color copying market is also very considerable.
Xerox's profit in the color copier market mostly comes from products such as toner, and its profit is 3-5 times that of the black-and-white copying market.
Lyra
According to research institutions, the growth of the color copier market is very attractive. At present, the market sales of black and white photocopiers are basically unchanged, while color office products such as copying, scanning and faxing have climbed from $5.8 billion in 2003 to $7 billion now.
Xerox's revenue from color business accounts for about 24% of the total revenue, but the company's top management thinks this is far from enough.
In order to expand its market share, Xerox invests two-thirds of the $800 million R&D fund in color-related business every year.
With the continuous development of office automation, the color copier, which was once restricted by the industry, is gradually coming out of the temple of professional users and entering the high-end commercial field.
The manuscript is reproduced as it is.
Place the original to be scanned flat on the scanning panel of the scanner and run the above software. First, the user can click the "Printer Settings" button in the main interface of the software to set the printed paper size in the pop-up dialog box.
Here, it is suggested that the user set the paper to a user-defined size and set a specific paper size to the same size as the actually scanned paper size.
It should be noted that for some brand printers that support the latest borderless printing technology, users need to temporarily turn off the borderless printing function and set the printing paper size to the actual scanned paper size, or set the printing paper size to be one centimeter longer than the actual scanned paper size when the borderless printing function is turned on.
The purpose of this is to "copy" the manuscript, which usually needs blank edges. If the relevant settings are not set, the copied content may be incomplete and the border may be seriously missing.
Next, you should click the "Scan Drawing" button in the software and select a scanning device in the pop-up dialog box. Finally, specify the number of copies and the zoom option 100%, and click the "Copy current page" or "Copy all pages" button, and everything will be OK.
Enlarge and copy the manuscript.
Users can specify the scale in the "Picture Zoom" option box in the main interface of the software, and enlarge the "copied" manuscript at any multiple according to actual needs (unregistered users can only enlarge it to 125%).
It is very distinctive that if the print size to be enlarged exceeds the maximum print range that the current printer can bear, users can use the unique printing "jigsaw puzzle" function of the software.
This function is somewhat similar to the printer's poster output function, that is, the software can intelligently "cut" the enlarged manuscript according to the actual paper size that needs to be printed after enlargement and the paper size that can be printed at present set by the user, and finally give each divided area a unique number when outputting, so that the user can print each part of the enlarged manuscript separately, and then splice it according to the number.
Of course, users can also select the "Puzzle Print Page" option at the top right of the software interface to facilitate later splicing.
