[dundee] Copiers have hard drives?

[Paul J Dalton]

I read somewhere that one of the reasons was that it allows employers to check if their employes are printing work related material or personal material.  Coupled with the use of a log-in system in order to use the copier it would allow the identification of workers who are using it for their own means and are stealing etc.

A few reasons spring to mind, chiefly the ability to keep a record of
documents printed. Though you can do this already; perhaps having HDs
will make it easier for people. Also I know we do some pretty large
graphics printing and perhaps the RAM can't cope.
