What is the difference between the different copy machines in terms of speed; I keep hearing about Segment 1 versus Segment 4 and so on…?
Copiers are sorted into six segments based on speed. Segment 1 machines run between 15 and 20 pages per minute (ppm), while massive Segment 6 copiers can crank out as many as 100 ppm or more. Of course, you’ll pay more for faster copiers, and chances are you don’t need those extreme high-end speeds. Most offices find that Segment 2 to Segment 4 copiers meet their needs, with speeds ranging from 20 to 50 ppm. You can read more on our copy machine basics page.
