At this writing there are at least 202 models of copiers available from some 37 different manufacturers or distribu- tors. The United States Government alone has installed approximately 55 thousand machines and the yearly cost of office copying is estimated at 80 million dollars. An increasing number of cost-conscious executives are concerned about the predictions that this cost could double within the next 5 years. Government offices are finding it difficult to stem rising costs wherein selec- tion and use of copiers is involved. Since the copier industry is so highly com- petitive, it is a significant challenge to apply the right copier, at the right time, in the right place, and in the right quantity. The purpose of this handbook is to assist Government officials to solve their copier problems through a common- sense approach in selecting and controlling such equipment. The conclusions and the statistical data offered in this handbook are the work of the National Archives and Records Service. Much use was made of an excellent Department of the Army publication and of a report of the General Accounting Office. They are : Department of the Army Technical Bulletin, TB AG 4, Copying Equip- ment, October 1965.

Because of the continuous changes which are occurring within the copier in- dustry, it is planned to issue a revised edition of this handbook when there are enough changes to warrant a revision.

INTRODUCTION Copying equipment, in the past, was usually lo- cated in a centralized reproduction, duplicating, blueprinting, or photostating unit. Skilled or semiskilled help was needed to operate relatively complicated machines. Service was influenced to a great degree by the amount and specific type of equipment installed, as well as its organizational sponsorship. Such reproduction equipment was often placed with the engineering or scientific groups who had a basic and continuing call for blueprints and photographs. The market was "ripe" for a simple, inexpensive copier. Many new machines designed to produce low-cost, small-volume copies, have made their appearance. As each new machine has appeared, a particular copying requirement (type of origi- nal, volume, etc.) was satisfied but with no single copier efficiently and economically capable of the entire demand. Dispersal of Copiers Many of the now copiers, as they appeared on the market, were installed in the same centralized re- production units as were their predecessors. Copy demands, however, soon grew far beyond expecta- tions. The reproduction units realized that they had a difficult situation to deal with. As the vol- ume grew and the deadlines became shorter, the centralized approach served to hinder copier access. Gradually, copiers were located closer to the points of demand and without any time-con- suming requisitioning and justification procedures. A specific organizational group shared a machine which was strategically located. Semi-automatic copiers began to replace manually operated ones as a means of increasing total volume. Mass copying became common. At present, almost every sizable organizational unit has its own copier. Some units have a second or third machine to meet increasing demands. Some Government departments have created cen- tralized copier stations at division, branch, or sec- tion levels. Many "broom" closets within office buildings have been converted to copier stations. Some of these copiers are manned by full-time operators, while others are "self-service." Management of Copying Services With the dispersal of office copiers throughout Government agencies, the need for a good hard look at the economy and effectiveness of office copying services has become increasingly apparent. The uncontrolled acquisition and use of office copy- ing equipment has often resulted in uneconomic mismatches of user requirements with machine capabilities and wasteful practices in operating copying facilities. While it may not always be practical, a desirable approach for managing the ever-growing demand for copies can be found in the old saying, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Before a heavy investment has been made in a variety of copiers on a hit-or-miss basis, the overall copying requirements of large organizational seg- ments of an agency should be systematically studied. These studies sould be carried out by knowledge- able personnel such as records managers, manage- ment analysts, reproduction specialists, supply officers, or others who are familiar with machine capabilities, price relationships, and procurement options available in today's highly competitive copier market. Above all, such personnel should be knowledgeable of the effect the copiers will have on the paperwork systems and procedures within the agency. For example, the flood of documents pouring out from today's copiers can play havoc with a planned network of file stations, as un- controlled quick copies cause a proliferation of duplicate files. Based on analysis of the data obtained, firm answers should be arrived at covering such matters as: centralized or decentralized stations; manned or unmanned facilities; use of lease, purchase, or combination lease/purchase options in procuring Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 copiers; appropriate machines and methods to ob- Where such studies have not been made, an tain the lowest possible cost per copy for multiple inquiry into the existing copying facilities will copy requirements; most suitable maintenance and offer a high potential for savings.

PSYCHOLOGY OF MAKING COPIES Adequacy Versus Perfection The copying machine produces, at best, "an imita- tion of the original,"-not/a facsimile, i.e., an "ex- act reproduction." The copying machine manufacturers, however are striving constantly to develop machines that produce copies as close to a facsimile as possible. Therefore, today's copy- ing machines are becoming increasingly sophisti- cated. This trend is causing the user to become less and less satisfied with yesterday's product. Cheaper machines, producing less quality than the user thinks necessary, offend his sense of pride. He wants one answer to all copying problems-a machine which will, in fact, give him a facsimile. Currently, there seems to be a demand that copiers be compact, operate at high speed, turn out "original" copies, cost only a few hundred dollars, never break down, and produce copies that cost about the same as that of a high-speed duplicator. Government users are following a trend, one which usually leads to the purchase or rental of a sophis- ticated copier capable of doing more than re- quired. In lieu of this approach, users should carefully evaluate their own needs and procure machines which meet their requirements instead of following the practices of other offices. Many users of copying processes have allowed their sense of value to be distorted in relation to the degree of quality and versatility actually needed. Is it necessary that the copier be able to pick up certain colors or solids? Is a print-like quality important to the use of the copy? Does the fact that the image is grey rather than black make any real difference? Manufacturers have been quick to foster this desire for perfection, and competition has encouraged the hard-sell tactics. The main point for managers to recognize is that most copies are of a routine nature, and need only meet the requisites for the purpose intended, no more, no less. Malpractices in Using Copiers Many situations of misuse and careless use occur regularly in many offices. Individually, they may be insignificant, but when they are multiplied daily by large numbers of users, unnecessary copy production soars. Conscientious managers should make every effort to reduce or even eliminate such malpractices. They should determine what may be copied, how many copies are permissible, and what degree of quality is acceptable, but they need the cooperation and backing of their superiors. The following examples represent some of the more common types of malpractice : Insisting on the use of a certain brand of copier when others are available, as in the case of centralized centers. This attitude can frequently cause excessive waiting time and delays. Making more than is needed on the mere pos- sibility that the extras may be needed. Making copies of personal papers for per- sonal use. Copying blank forms or publications which are available from stockrooms. Using a copier in lieu of making one or two carbons at time of typing. Using a copier as a duplicator for unlimited copies. Having copies remade because the first were less than perfect. Rejecting all copiers which require some manual operation and insisting upon com- pletely automatic features. Protest Against Dampness Wet process copiers were considered very fine be- fore the advent of the dry types. Because copies made on them required drying for up to 10 min- utes, users have developed a distaste for them in view of the simplicity and speed of the newer models. The fact that they used "messy chemi- cals" also had a great deal to do with the present attitude. Although many of today's wet process copiers are equipped with a premixed cartridge 3 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 loading feature, and require minimal attention to cleaning, the attitude still persists. Copies from most of this equipment still require drying, al- though there are a few units which produce copies capable of drying in a few seconds. These factors should not operate to exclude such machines from considerations. As a matter of fact, some wet process copiers will produce copies with an ex- tremely sharp and high contrast image. Officials making decisions involving procurement or use of copying equipment often fall into the trap of thinking only of the easily-measured costs of copy preparation, such as meter charges, supply costs, and the like. They tend to forget that the below-listed elements, which are not so easily meas- ured, can also affect their overall copying costs. ? Production. The time it takes the copier to produce the copies must be considered and also its effect on personnel costs. ? Waste. Because there is virtually no sure way of either tabulating or controlling it, waste can be one of the most misleading fac- tors. ? Walking. If copier is in a central or semi- central location, walking time involved is also prone to being stretched-by visiting, passing the snack bar, and other common human weaknesses. ? Waiting. When the copier is being used, valuable personnel time is being wasted while the individual is doing nothing. ? Overproduction. The "need to know" basis is fast disappearing. It is relatively simple to make copies for everyone in the office. ? Files Maintenance. Too many copies in- tended just for "information" find their way into files. Files maintenance costs money. difficult to find the reasons for this-on the other hand, it is not easy to reduce or eliminate it. Before the time when it became easy to make a copy of almost anything, our official copying was limited to those documents needed by someone, or required for some purpose. That is, the function for which copies were needed was either impossible to accomplish or made extremely difficulty with- out such copies. Although these valid purposes still exist, a large proportion of all copying done today is for convenience. What are "convenience" copies? Their identity may vary with individuals or within groups, but generally, these are common types : (1) (2) (3) (4) Those furnished to members of an office for "information"-even though they may not have any interest in the subject. Suspense copies-which might have been made as an extra carbon. Extra copies of actions maintained in file- in case some are needed. later. Alibi copies-usually made for protection or as proof of responsibility. Convenience copying is not necessarily bad if it saves time. It is, however, often allowed to pro- gress to the point of producing paperwork that is either wasted or never disposed of. What was meant to be a laborsaving device has resulted in the expenditure of more man-hours than was ever before needed for producing copies. Many agencies have tried using various sub- terfuges as deterrents to indiscriminate copying. These have included the use of colored copy paper, signs, "freezing" the copy selector knob, sign-in sheets, and surveillance. Such methods were found to be ineffective, and as a result were shortly abandoned. Placing operators on all machines also has its drawback, since it involves additional personnel. Proliferation Problem This word has of late been applied to the product of copiers-meaning, of course, that the produc- tion of copies in quick succession and in large amounts is the result of the newer machines. As manufacturers continue to simplify operation of machines, and as their numbers increase, prolifera- tion will become more and more evident. It is not Finding the Solution The manager must now take definite action if he is really interested in doing something about the problem of proliferation. Two phases are clearly necessary : education and control. Education. It is up to management to establish guidelines and up to supervisors to apply them. 4Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 There are two basic means of educating the users tory policies and see that they have com- of copying equipment : plete dissemination. (1) Conduct orientation classes for operational managers and top level supervisors. It should not be assumed that such persons, because of their position, know the facts about copying costs and their role in the paperwork explosion. (2) Program a continuing campaign through printed or duplicated reminders, discus- sions at meetings and briefings, evaluations of individual installations, and any other means of communication. Control. Regardless of what controls are estab- lished, they will have little effect if they are not enforced and regularly reviewed. Enforcement need not mean a system of threats and penalties. The following approach can be considered : (1) Establish realistic limitations and require- ments but provide for selective exceptions when warranted. Publish these as regula- (2) Instruct the responsible individuals on how they should inspect copiers under their jurisdiction. In this connection, in- quiries should be made and the actual process observed. (3) Make periodic informal surveys of copier production. Note infractions and advise management of their findings. The of- fending office should be notified of viola- tions when considered appropriate. It should be made known that the individuals responsible for the copiers have this au- thority and management must give them the necessary support. Several manufacturers offer special total- izer attachments--some with as many as 12 separate switches or keys to activate the copier-to aid in checking on the volume of copies made by component organizational units of an agency. 237-114 0-X67---2 5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 III. LEGAL ASPECTS Copying Laws Copying laws are almost in the same category as speed limit laws-people forget they are there. Although the, former involves much less risk than the latter, the penalty can be much greater. Most documents which are prohibited by law from being copied have their source in State or Federal Gov- ernment. A partial listing is shown in figure 1. In case of doubt, legal advice should be obtained. Copyright Laws The most frequently violated law is the Copyright Law : namely, that law which prohibits the copy- ing of copyrighted material without permission. The Copyright Law is intended to protect the publisher or author from plagiarism. It gives him the right to say who may reproduce his written or published work, and to demand pay- ment for it. However, the current widespread use of copying machines in reproducing literary works goes beyond the question of plagiarism. It is be- ginning seriously to affect the sale of published works, such as magazines, textbooks, and technical papers. Prior to this time, a user of such works desiring to have possession of a copy was obliged to purchase the publication if he could not borrow it for an indefinite period. Today, it is relatively simple to make copies of almost any printed matter by means of the office copier. Because the copier has made it easy to reproduce published works, extra precaution is necessary. Where a notice of copyright is shown, either on the work itself, or by a general statement in the publication, the law is clear : it may not be copied unless permission of the publisher or author is ob- tained. Where doubt exists as to whether or not an item is copyrighted, the legal officer should be consulted.

COPYING PROCESSES AND HOW THEY WORK There are 8 commonly recognized copying proc- esses and many different makes and models of copiers available within the different processes. Some of the copiers, particularly the larger diazo types, hardly qualify as "office-type" machines be- cause of their size, although they are usable for making copies of office-type documents under "sys- tems" or "production" situations. Other copiers can be used to produce various types of reproduc- tion masters and transparencies. This chapter, however, is basically concerned with copiers which are used in an office environment for producing page-size paper copies of office documents. Within this frame of reference, a short description of each basic process and how it works follows : This requires a negative and positive paper for each copy. The negative paper is sensitive to light. Most machines are manually operated, being powered only to the extent of furnishing a light source and activating the feed rollers. A few are completely automatic, requiring only insertion of the original. Most newer machines use a cartridge for chemicals, which can be removed and inserted without handling of the chemicals. This helps the solution to last longer, and simplifies the clean- ing of developing trays. Since the copy paper itself (positive) enters the solution, copies always emerge quite damp and must be dried before use. (1) (2) (3) Original is exposed to negative paper. Negative and positive papers are sand- wiched and passed into developer through separated slots. After emerging, the two are pulled apart; the negative is discarded and the positive paper becomes the copy. Dye Transfer Process gives a darker and more permanent image. The only known dye transfer equipment is made by Eastman Kodak, and generally is known by the name of Verifax. Some models are manually operated, while others are semiautomatic. The new machines use a cartridge for chemicals, which can be replaced without handling chemicals. This equipment is powered only to provide a light source and to activate the feed rollers. Although the copy paper does not enter the solution, it does come in direct contact with the wet matrix; this causes copies to be slightly damp, but they dry within a few seconds. Original is exposed to matrix. Matrix is passed into developing solution. Copy paper is pressed against matrix. Copy is peeled from matrix. If a multiple-copy matrix is used, it can be reinserted into the developing solution, and (3) and (4) above repeated, up to about seven copies. (More are possible if a good matrix has been made.) Stabilization Process This is similar to a photographic process, but is much simpler and faster. It uses only one type of coated paper for both negative and positive copies. The first copy is white on black, from which can be made any number of black on white copies. The lower priced machines usually are contact printers, while the larger and more expensive op- erate by a mirror reversal process, some having the capability to reduce and enlarge. Some are man- ually operated, while others are completely auto- matic. The copy emerges damp and requires drying before use. Procedures are as follows : This requires a matrix and copy paper. Although In the first procedure the copy paper is exposed ordinary paper can be used, the treated copy paper to the original by- Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 (1) Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Reversing image from mirror (for right reading copy), or (2) Reflex through copy paper (for reverse reading copy), or (3) Direct light through translucent original (for right reading copy). In the second procedure, copy paper passes through developer. (1) Right reading negatives can be used as copy, or as originals and processed as in (1) or (3) above to make right reading positives. model "107" copier), and an automatic model (the "209"). Copies are dry upon completion. The copier works on the principle of creating a latent image on the intermediate paper by means of light, and then transferring this image to the final copy paper by means of heat. Procedures are as follows : (1) Original and intermediate paper are ex- posed to light. (2) Intermediate paper and copy paper are pressed together and heat is applied. The latent image transfers to the copy paper. The dual spectrum process can be coupled with another process of the same manufacturer called "Adherography" to produce many copies of a doc- ument at the announced rate of 40 copies per min- ute. To use this related Adherography process, a special master is prepared either on a dual spec- trum copier or by direct typing. The master is inserted into a separate machine known as a "Speed Copier" which produces the copies on or- dinary paper. When these two processes are cou- pled together, the manufacturer refers to them as System A-09. (2) Reverse reading negatives must be proc- essed as in (3) above to make right read- ing positives. Thermal Process This requires only one coated paper to produce each copy. It is not sensitive to light, but reacts to heat radiated by the image area when exposed to infrared light. For this reason, the original image must contain some metallic substance and colors must be visible to infrared light. Generally, thermal copiers will. reproduce most printing inks, liquid writing inks, lead pencil, and typewriter ribbon. It will not reproduce most ball point inks, stamp pad inks, colored pencils, and blue and vio- let printing inks, which are transparent to infra- red light. This is the only copying process in which exposure and development are simultane- ous. It is the simplest in both construction and operation. Only one step is involved-the inser- tion of copy paper and original together into the exposure opening. Although copies made on thermal paper may last indefinitely, it is not rec- ommended as a permanent file paper because of its sensitivity to heat and its tendency to brittleness. Dual Spectrum Process This requires two kinds of paper to produce each copy; an intermediate, light sensitive type and a coated, final copy paper. No chemicals are in- volved, and the machine can copy all colors. The 3-M Company is the only known manufacturer of this process. It makes a variety -of these machines including various manually-operated models of differing capabilities (for example, the office Diazo Process This requires one copy paper, coated with light- sensitive chemicals. It works on the principle of ultraviolet light passing through a translucent original. This destroys the chemical coating on the copy paper, except where an opaque image has blocked the light. The copy paper is then devel- oped, where the remaining chemical is converted into a readable image. Three kinds of developing agents are used : liquid, ammonia, or heat. The speed of the copy paper, the kind of developer used, and the quality of the translucent original deter- mine how fast copies can be produced and what quality they will be. Procedures are as follows : (1) (2) (3) Insert original and copy paper into ex- posure slot. Reinsert exposed copy paper only in de- veloping slot. Copies made by liquid developer machine take several seconds to dry completely.

At the present time, the only transfer type on the market is that made by Xerox. It operates on the prin- ciple of a charged drum surface being exposed to light reflected through lenses from an original. Where light strikes the drum from white areas of the original, the charge disappears and toner par- ticles cling only to that part of the surface still charged (image area). The latent image is then transferred from the drum to paper, and fused by heat. Only one procedure is involved-inserting the original into the exposure area. Direct Electrostatic Process (Electrofax) This requires a coated copy paper. In this process, some machines use a dry toner, but most use a liquid toner. The process is generally the same. The paper is electrically charged, after which its surface is exposed to light reflected from the orig- inal. Where light strikes the copy paper from nonimage areas, the charge is dissipated, and the latent image remains. This invisible image is then brushed or sprayed with toner, which clings to the charged area and thereby develops the image. Lastly, the image is either fused by heat (dry toner) or dried by air (liquid toner). The only procedure on most machines is to insert the original into the exposure area.

Compressed ammonia captured in a tank and released through con- trols into a diazo copying machine in the form of a gas. Coated paper. Treated with an emulsion to make it sensitive to a particular copying process. Contrast. Degree of difference between depth of image against its background. Jet black against white background is said to have high contrast while gray on white, a low contrast. Definition. Degree of sharpness or clarity of lines and detail in an image. Density. Generally referred to in degrees of ; the deepness of black, or shade of gray to black. Developer, a. In electrostatic copiers using a dry toner, a coarse aggregate, such as beads or iron filings, which scatters the toner. b. In wet process copiers, the fluid solution through which exposed copy paper is passed. Dispersant. A liquid used in some electrofax copiers in which the liquid toner is ,dispersed. Usually this is a petroleum base which is constantly agitated to keep the toner in sus- pension. Flatbed. A type of exposure unit which con- sists basically of a flat glass in front of a light source. Capable of copying books and bound volumes. Fusing. The binding of dry toner to copy paper by a heat process. Halftone. A photograph which has been printed, the image being made up of dots ranging from white through gray to black. The finer the dots are, the better the image. Intensifier. In electrofax (liquid toner) proc- esses, a heavy liquid injected when image is too light; supplements the toner. Latent image. Invisible image resulting from exposure of a sensitized surface to an origi- nal ; development by one or the other proc- ess makes image visible. Negative copl. A right-reading copy with the image in white with a black background. Positive copy. A right-reading copy having black image on a white background. Recycling. The capability of certain copiers to hold the original and reexpose it automat- ically for the number of copies desired. This feature is only on those machines which have a dial to set for more than 1 copy of the same original. Solid. Heavy or broad lettering or backgrounds on an image, other than normal reading copy. Standard paper. Ordinary bond or sulphite paper. Toner. A fine black powder or semipaste which forms the image on a copy made by the elec- trostatic or electrofax processes; usually a derivative of carbon black. Translucent.

SELECTIVE EVALUATION OF COPIERS Because of the many copiers on the market, only a selected few could be evaluated. Evaluation involved actual testing of certain models of ma- chines and reflects Department of the Army ex- perience in meeting its copying requirements. Selection was made as follows : a. The major interest was directed to the electro- static types since these are the most competitive at the present time. b. In the thermal and diazo processes, one ma- chine was selected as being representative of its type. c. The dye transfer and dual spectrum machines are made by only one company and for this reason one model of each warranted evaluation. d. The diffusion transfer and stabilization processes were not evaluated for several reasons: (1) Generally speaking, the per copy cost is higher than that of the newer processes. (2) On most machines, a large amount of (3) manual operation is required. Because of the above, many of these ma- chines are continually being replaced by machines using the newer, more automatic processes. e. As newer machines appear and as otherwise seems appropriate, further evaluations will be made and published. Description and Costs The significant points of the selected machines evaluated are discussed in figures 4 through 19 which follow. All information therein is current as of August 1966, but because of continuing price revisions or machine and supply modifications, some of the data is subject to change. Before se- lecting a particular copier, offices should check a current Authorized Federal Supply Schedule Price List of the manufacturer concerned to note any possible changes in prices or charges quoted in these figures. Such changes would, of course, affect the unit costs shown. Cost charts do not include personnel time nor an allowance for waste or spoilage. They are based on the following factors : (1) (2) (3) (4) Where applicable, Zone 1 (Eastern Zone) prices were used for all equipment. Monthly purchase costs were computed on a 5-year amortization. Paper and other supply costs are based on estimated usage of a copier and can vary with price changes, usage, volume pur- chases, paper size, etc. Supplies in each case are those recom- mended by the equipment manufacturer for his particular machine. Using sup- plies obtained from other sources will change the unit costs shown. As applicable, the charts do include cost in- formation covering the procurement of the copiers under both rental and purchase plans. To aid in comparing plans, they indicate unit costs (cost per copy) at varying volumes of copies produced under both plans. When choosing a copier, offices should refer to appendix "B" of this handbook as well as to these figures containing the results of the evalua- tions of selected copiers. Appendix "B" is a re- print of a near-complete listing of office copiers as of August 1966. This listing, providing detailed information on the attributes of each copier, was published in the September issue of the magazine Administrative Management, Volume XXVII, Number 9. As the prices or other charges are for the commercial market, there may be some slight variance with prices or conditions applicable to Federal government procurement. Nevertheless, the listing can be extremely useful in comparing various copiers. 14 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Type: Size: Electrical: Copy Paper: Direct Electrostatic (Electrofax). Table model, 243/4" wide (bottom), 351/2" wide (top), 17" deep, 18" high; 107 lbs. ; portable. 10 amps, 115 volts. May be used in any grounded outlet. Cut sheets from 5%" x 81/2" to 81/2" x 14". Coated paper, bond weight ; surface marked by metal objects. Automatic feed magazine has a capacity of 200 sheets. Paper must be thoroughly "riffled" to prevent feeding problems and double feed. Flat bed exposure can expose bound volumes as well as single sheets and rigid material. Exposure bed moves automatically on tracks past the exposure lamps. Tracks extend beyond the basic width of the unit, which accounts for the wider top measurement. Safety features are incorporated to prevent injury to operator's hands by the moving top. Machine is turned on ; density control set ; number of copies dialed ; start button is pushed which activates process. A dial offers multiple setting for 1 to 10 or "C" for continuous ; except for setting "C," it returns to number 1 when last copy is exposed. Operates with liquid toner and dispersant, which are pumped into tank at present rate. Copy paper passes through mixed dispersant and is dried by warm air and pressure. No fusing. One signal light indicates paper magazine is empty or that feed has aborted. Another light comes on when dispersant cartridge is empty. Machine will continue to operate even though this light is on. Cartridge is replaced simply by opening a sliding cover and removing empty cartridge. Speed: No warm up time. About 13 seconds for single copy, or first copy of multiple run; subse- quent copies about 8 to 0 seconds each. Supplies : Dispersant, available in kits of four 2-quart cartridges, with one pint cartridge of toner. Kit is sufficient to make about 8,000 to 10,000 copies. Capabilities: Readable copies can be made from any printed matter with white or colored background and any color ink. The machine produces a low-contrast image, somewhat gray rather than black, and because of this it does best with a strong original. Fair on solids and half-tones. Seems to produce better Image from originals with colored backgrounds than from those with white backgrounds. The density control has a limited range for most common types of originals, and setting No. 5 seems to give the average copy- lower settings bring out background toning, and higher settings wash out image contrast. Image does not smear with normal handling. Considered a medium volume machine for use only in localized areas. Its primary advantage is that it offers bound volume capability at a low initial price. Maintenance contract is available for $115.00 per year on machines in a 30-mile radius of the center of the city, and at higher rates beyond that limit. It includes- a. All emergency calls. b. All parts except lamps and motors. a. Purchase. The unit price is $867.30 (including discount). Additional discount up to 10% is available if more than 3 machines are purchased at one time. b. Rental. Not available. C. Supplies: (1) Copy paper. For 81/2" x 11" size, prices range from $32.55 per M to $20.00 per M, depending on volume. (2) Dispersant kit. Price is $11.70 for four 2-quart cartridges including 1 pint cartridge of toner. d. Volume costs are shown on chart on reverse side.

Size: Floor model, 49" wide, 44" deep, 48" high; 480 lbs. Not portable. Electrical: Choice of 115 volts, 27.5 amps, or 230 volts, 14.5 amps, 60 cycles. Copy Paper: Magazine holds about 200 sheets of paper up to 11" x 17". Automatically feeds from check size up to 11" x 17". Paper is coated type, and is easily marked by metal objects. Original: Roller feed mechanism. Can accept lightweight flexible sheets, or can be adjusted by simple motion to accept cardstock or thin pamphlets. It will not take bound volumes or 3-dimensional objects. Easy to use, although original must be fed by hand for each copy made. Paper originals are returned to the front near point of insertion; card stock or thin pamphlets are returned to the back by lifting a hinged lid. Feed mechanism will not accept original when paper supply is low. Speed : No warmup time required. First copy delivered in 17 seconds. All subsequent copies of the same or other originals in 4 seconds. Makes an excellent copy under ideal conditions, i.e., if machine is maintained properly, toner adjustment in order, and it is fusing correctly. Does very well on solids and halftones. The manual feeding of original has two advantages : it permits faster production, and provides a means of automatic collating. Originals are fed in sequence (rather than the same one repeatedly) and copies are delivered in the same sequence. Has counter for operator's use when making multiple copies. Special offset mats available which guarantee 500 prints. The copy paper itself can be used as a very short run offset master, but results are not ideal. If adjustments are out of focus, copies can be grainy, streaked or have background. Considered to be a heavy duty machine, and for centralized or semicentralized operations. a. Rental. Repairs and maintenance provided by Bruning Company on all parts except lamps. b. Purchase. Two options are available : (1) By oncall service as needed at existing hourly rates and repair costs. (2) By yearly contract at a rate of $360.00 per year. c. Lease-Purchase. Repairs and maintenance provided by Bruning Company at no charge within a 25 mile radius of service point. a. Rental.

Size: Table Model, but is made to fit into a matching cabinet, 311/2" wide, 23" deep, 21" high; 216 lbs. Portable to the extent its weight will permit. Electrical : 115 volts,12 amps, single phase, 60 cycle, AC. May be used in any standard grounded outlet. Coated type; furnished in three cut-sheet sizes: 51/2" x 81/2", 8" x 10%", and 81/2" x Copy Paper: 11". Marked easily by metal objects. Magazine loader at top holds 200 sheets. Original: Flat bed exposure unit; original does not pass through mechanism, but is exposed on glass area to stationary light source. Books and 3-dimensional objects can be exposed. Operation: Machine is switched on; original is placed on glass exposure bed; density control set; number of copies is dialed (up to 20). The action of dialing the number of copies automatically activates the machine. New original can be placed as soon as exposure light goes off for last copy of run. Operates on principle of liquid dispersant and liquid toner. Copy passes through liquid mixture and is dried by warm air. There is no fusing. Separate lights come on to indicate need to add dispersant and when last sheet of paper is fed. It is necessary each morning to turn on machine for about five minutes to allow dispersant and toner to mix. Thereafter, it is turned off after each use. There is a continuous counter immediately behind the front panel. Speed: No warm-up time except initially in the morning. Single copy, or first copy of multiple run takes about 20 seconds. Each copy thereafter, about 9 seconds Supplies: Developer (dispersant), furnished in carton of six 1-qt. bottles; replenisher (toner), in carton of six 8-oz. cartridges. Each quart of developer will make about 1,000 copies, and each cartridge of replenisher about 2,000. Capabilities: Produces copies with a very good quality, high contrast image if density control knob is set correctly. The average setting is from No. 4 to No. 6 for ordinary typed or printed copy. A higher setting up to 7 or 8 is better for originals with colored back- ground or for carbons, and a setting to No. 3 is best for light blue print or weak originals. The lower numbers tend to increase the background toning, but will also increase the density of the image. It is well to avoid too much density, since the blacker the copy, the more tendency it has to smear when freshly made. Although copies appear to have damp spots when first emerging, these will disappear in a minute or two. The machine will produce an excellent copy from halftones, and a reasonably good copy from photographs. Solids come out well, as do colors and shadings. Developer must be added about every 600 copies, since the machine will cease to operate once the "ADD DEVELOPER" light comes on. This machine has the advantage of a 20~/% reduction feature by moving a lever to the "LEGAL" posi- tion. In this way, 14" documents can be copied without changing paper. This feature permits all copies produced to be on sheets of uniform size wihtout sacrificing clarity or content. The "LETTER" position copies actual size. delivery. The exposure at e top of the machine, i.e., paper loading, exposing, and copy livery. unit enables books to be copied right up to the binding with no distortion. This machine is considered appropriate for a decentralized, or semicentralized activity with a moderately heavy monthly volume. Service: a. Rental. All services and maintenance furnished at no cost by manufacturer during regular working hours. b. Purchase. Complete coverage for all repairs and regular maintenance at .005 per copy, with a minimum of $15.00 per month (3,000 copies).

B. DICK 650 Type: Size: Electrical: Copy Paper: Direct Electrostatic (Electrofax). Table Model ; 18" wide, 26x/4" deep, 19" high ; 123 lbs ; portable. 115 volts, 60 cycles, 15 amps. May be used in any grounded outlet. Coated type ; furnished in roll form 460 feet long, and in widths from 31/2" to 11". Marked easily by metal objects. Roller exposure mechanism ; original passes through unit. It will accept only single sheets up to medium weight card stock. Machine is turned on and original is fed into opening. Up to 15 copies can be made by turning the selector knob. Original stays in exposure mechanism until all copies are made ; selector knob returns to "single" after last copy has been exposed. New original can be fed as soon as "feed" light comes on, even though copy is not yet delivered. Oper- ates on principle of liquid toner and liquid dispersant. Copy paper passes through liquid mix and is dried by both pressure and heat. No fusing. Signal light indicates need to add dispersant. No warmup time. First copy takes 30 seconds ; each copy thereafter about 9 to 10 seconds. Toner-mix (dispersant) furnished in 9 quart lots and 1 cartridge of toner, sufficient to run about 15,000 copies. Machine furnishes a consistently high quality copy with high to medium contrast, depending upon the original image density and sharpness. Density control has a wide latitude to reproduce various colors and screen out colored or dirty backgrounds. Does very well with ball point pen, ditto, and light density copy. Poor with halftones and photographs. Solids reproduce well, but somewhat grey. Image is highly resistant to smearing. Be- cause of roll' paper, can make a copy of any reasonable length. Carrier must be used for tissue originals and for those having overlays. Thin originals will not trigger the ex- posure mechanism and overlays may jam in the exposure rollers. However, if a jam does occur, the exposure unit is easily removed in seconds without tools, and is simple to replace. Considered to be a medium volume machine for localized or semicentralized application. a. Rental. Repairs and maintenance provided on all parts. b. Purchase.

Size: Table model; 16" wide, 26" deep, 16" high; 65 lbs; portable. Electrical: 110 volts, 60 cycles, 12 amps. May be used in any grounded outlet. Copy Paper: Coated type; furnished in sheets in sizes from 5'/z" x 8%" to 11" x 17". Subject to marking by metal objects. About the same weight as regular bond paper. Magazine on top of machine holds a maximum of 250 sheets, and is simple to load. Original: Roller exposure mechanism; original passes through unit. It will accept thin second sheets of paper to lightweight card stock. Originals shorter than 6" must be placed in a carrier. Operation : This is a single copy machine without a recycling device. The switch is turned on and original fed into opening at top; original is returned in the middle slot, and the copy at bottom. New original cannot be fed until previous one is returned. Operates with a liquid combination toner and dispersant. Copy paper passes through liquid mix and is dried by pressure. There is no fusing. Has adjustment lever for different density originals: A vibrating noise is heard when last sheet of paper has been fed. Machine is turned off after each use. Toner-mix is simple to add by removing empty cartridge and dropping in a new one. Speed: No warm-up time. Each copy takes about 7 to 8 seconds. (Although a 15 copy per minute rate is claimed, this could not be achieved during testing.) Supplies: Premixed toner-dispersant, available in 22 ounce cartridges after initial filling with starter kit. Each cartridge is good for approximately 700 copies. Capabilities: This is a very simple machine to operate, and it produces a good copy from most common-type originals. The density control lever does not entirely compensate for a light original image, and correspondingly the copy will have a slightly toned back- ground. Otherwise image has good contrast and is highly resistant to smearing. Solids are good and halftones show fairly good definition. Duplicate feed and jams of copy paper are rare; in the event of a jam clearance is simply and quickly done. Failure of original to return is also rare, but if it does occur, retrieval is simple. Generally, the machine is considered to be a good product for medium volume, localized use. Maintenance contract is available on the following basis: Service:' a. $80.00 per year within 15 mile radius. b. $90.00 per year between 16 and 25 miles. c. $10.00 per year for each 5 miles beyond 25. d. The contract guarantees three inspections a year, plus intermediate calls, and includes all service and parts except lamps and motor. Costs:' a. Purchase price $670.00 b. Rental not available. c. Supplies: (1) Paper, 81/%" x 11", $28.00 in 100M lots. (2) Tone-dispersant: Starter kit only, $8.75; cartridges, six 22-oz. containers for $7.50. d.

Electrical: 110-125 volt, 3 wire cord. Copy Paper: Maximum 8%" x 14". Ordinary bond paper can be used, but not recommended for best results. A special copy paper is available from several sources, in 7 colors. The supply is stored in the machine, and is automatically sandwiched to the matrix. Original: Single sheets only go through rollers into machine. Operation: A two stage process is followed: exposure and development. The matrix is automat- ically exposed by inserting the original. When the matrix emerges, it is inserted into another slot for developing; a timer automatically shows when the matrix is ready, and it is withdrawn, already sandwiched to a sheet of copy paper; these are peeled apart and the near dry copy is ready for use. An average of 7 good copies can be made by reinserting the matrix, withdrawing and peeling. The devel- oping fluid is never handled, but is installed in a cartridge. When it is time to replace the fluid, a loud buzzer sounds at which time the old cartridge is removed, discarded and a new one inserted. Speed: It takes about 40 seconds to produce one copy. The time required to produce mutt tiple copies depends upon the dexterity and speed of the operator. However, with a little practice, additional copies from the same matrix can be made at about 4 seconds per copy. Supplies: Activator fluid, one cartridge being good for about 1800 copies. A multiple matrix, good for 1 to 7 copies, or more of lesser quality. (Single copy matrix also avail- able at reduced cost.) Capabilities: Produces copies which are photographic in appearance, with moderate contrast. Some experimentation is necessary to produce good copies. Image is caused by chemical reaction and cannot rub off. Paper has the feel of ordinary bond. With exposure adjustment, will reproduce all colors or screen out colored backgrounds. Can be used to produce offset masters and transparencies of good quality. Useful in smaller, localized operation-not for use in centralized functions. Service: Various service and maintenance contracts are available from individual dealers. Machine has very little downtime, however. It is considered more practical to ob- tain service as needed on the regular hourly rate basis. Costs: a. Purchase, $316.00. b. Supply costs will vary depending on the number of multiple copies made from any one matrix. The average is generally 4 to 1 and on this basis, the following chart shows costs by volume.

Size: Table top model, 40" wide, 411/2" deep, 281/4" high. Not portable. Electrical: 220 volt, 60 cycles, single phase, 15 amps. Copy Paper: Chemically coated, but after development has the feel of ordinary bond paper. Rolls are available from 8" to 11" wide and 600 feet long. Single sheet paper up to 10" wide. Original : Hand fed through series of rollers.. Must be translucent, having image on one side only ; can be onionskin second sheets or transparency. Image on original should be dark for best results. Will not accept bound volumes. Operation: The emulsion on the copy paper is a diazo coating. When the original is fed through receiv- ing rollers, the copy paper is automatically cut to the length of the original. It then passes under a mercury vapor lamp which burns out the diazo coating in excess of the image. Original is returned immediately after exposure. Copy paper continues through the machine into development chamber where the ammonia darkens the remaining coat- ing into a readable image. Adjustable speed dial regulates exposure time. Venting is necessary to dissipate ammonia fumes. Depending on condition of original master, machine can make copies as rapidly as one per second. However, this is faster than original can be fed, and the average is between 2 and 3 seconds per copy. Supplies: Anhydrous ammonia, one tank lasting about 6 months. Capabilities: The greatest advantages of the diazo method are its speed and economy of operation. It is limited, however, in that it cannot copy from opaque papers or papers having an image on two sides. Quality of copy will vary from excellent to poor since it is wholly dependent on the translucency and image opacity of the original master. Downtime is minimal. Considered to be capable of large volume production on a continuous basis. Not practical for small volume in local operations. Can also be used for making high quality trans- parencies. This and other high speed diazo machines can be used in a system in conjunc- tion with an electrostatic copier which can make translucent masters. Service: a. Purchase. Within a radius of 25 miles from a service center, contract is $100.00 per year for a quarterly check (up to 50 hours use per week) ; $135.00 for bimonthly check (from 51 to 99 hours use per week) ; and $225.00 for a monthly check (100 hours and over use per week). These rates increase when the 25 mile radius is exceeded. Contract does not include parts or interim calls. It covers only normal maintenance. b. Rental. All maintenance, service and parts are provided except printing lamp and service calls in excess of 4 times per year. a. Purchase. (1) Equipment $2530.00. (2) Installation $25.00. b. Rental. (1) Monthly fee $132.50 if within radius of 25 miles of a GAF service center. There is an additional charge of $.07 for each mile the location exceeds the 25 mile radius. (2) Machines used more than 50 hours per week will have an additional charge of 40% of the rental fee. (3) If a rented machine is purchased within the first 3 months, 80% of the total rental fee may be credited ; within 6 months, 65% ; after 6 months, 55%. C. Supplies. (1) Paper costs .0040 per 81/2" x 11" copy. (2) Ammonia, $8.40 per month, regardless of volume. Note: For pertinent cost data at varying volumes of copies see figure 21.

Size: Table Model; 18" wide, 26x/4" deep, 15high; 123 lbs; portable. Electrical: 117 volts, 60 cycles, 14.5 amps. May be used in any grounded outlet. Copy Paper: Coated type; furnished in roll form 460 feet long, and in five widths, 4", 5'/z", 8", 8%", and 11". Marked easily by metal objects. Original: Roller exposure mechanism; original passes through unit. Besides single sheets, it will accept manifold sets or folded originals, as well as medium weight card. Operation: Machine is turned on, density control set, and number of copies dialed. Original is inserted into feed slot and emerges into angled tray at bottom. Copy emerges at top of unit. Up to 15 copies can be made by turning the selector knob; original stays in exposure mechanism until all copies are exposed; selector knob returns to "single" after last exposure. New original can be fed when "insert" light comes on, even though copy is not yet delivered. Operates on principle of liquid toner and liquid dispersant. Copy paper passes through liquid mix and is dried by both pressure and warm air. There is no fusing. Signal light indicates need to add dispersant, although machine will continue to operate with light on. Speed: No warm-up time. First copy takes 30 seconds; each copy thereafter about 12 seconds. Supplies: Electromix (dispersant and toner) packed 9 quarts of dispersant to case with one 8-oz cartridge of toner. Sufficient to run about 15,000 copies per case. Capabilities: Machine furnishes a consistently good quality copy with high to medium contrast, depending upon the original image density and sharpness. Density control has a wide latitude to reproduce various colors and screen out colored or dirty backgrounds. Density control setting of 5 to 7 seems to be best for most common-type originals, but a readable copy can be made at any setting, and this is a particular advantage on this type of copier. Settings 7 to 9 do very well in screening out colored backgrounds. Produces a good copy of halftones and solids, and a fair copy of photographs. Does well with light blues, and light density original images. The unit has an "electronic eye" which reportedly gauges the amount of toner needed by scanning the original image. Under normal handling, image is highly resistant to smearing. Because of roll paper, can make a copy of any reasonable length. Carrier must be used for originals having overlays or torn edges to avoid their being caught in rollers. If an original does fail to return, the exposure unit is easily removed in seconds without tools and is simple to replace. Considered to be a good machine for medium volume in localized or semicentralized activities. Service: a. Rental. Repairs and maintenance provided by the manufacturer. b. Purchase. Two options are available: (1) By on-call service as needed at existing hourly rates and repair costs. (2) By yearly contract at a rate of $100.00 up to 25 miles from a service point, $120.00 from 26 to 35 miles, and $140.00 from 36 to 50 miles. Maintenance consists of four inspections a year and covers replacement of all parts except ]amps and motors. Costs: a. Rental. (1) One time installation charge of $50.00. (2) Flat rental fee of $35.00 per month. (3) No minimum copy requirement.

Size: Table model, 193/ wide, 151A" deep, 7%" high. 42 lbs. Portable. Electrical: 110 volt. Copy Paper: 8" x 10%" to 8'rr " x 14"-Special type-manual insertion for each copy. Lightweight stock, tissue appearance, somewhat brittle. Original: Belt feed exposure. Will accept only originals which are fully flexible. Original travels through imaging unit. Operation: Original and copy paper are sandwiched and inserted into opening. Action activates switch. Imaging accomplished by reflection from original to copy paper. One step process. Variable exposure control for light or dark originals. Machine shuts off auto- matically after delivery of copy. Speed: Variable, depending on exposure setting. Averages about 4 to 7 seconds for each copy. Supplies: None for making copies. Periodic replacement of belt and belt cleaning fluid. Capabilities: Provides a fast method of making a reading or information copy. Will not pick up most writing inks; original image must contain metal base such as pencil, printing, typewriter, etc., to permit imaging on copy paper. May require experimentation for different densities of original image. Some brands of white copy paper may be used as Diazo masters. Has additional ability to provide spirit masters, transparencies, and paper offset mats. Practical for small localized output. Service: Yearly contract is available for $26.00 per year, including lamps and belts. Costs: a. Purchase. Price $371.42. b. Paper Costs.

Size: Table Model, 47" wide, 31" deep, 13" high, 219 lbs. Portable. Electrical: 100-125 volts. 60 cycles. Copy Paper: Specially coated type, but will not smear and is not subject to marking under normal handling. Although coated, it is much like ordinary bond paper. Maximum size is 81/2" x 11". Loads in magazine, about 200 sheets. Speed: Supplies : Capabilities : Roll fed but passes through rollers rather than around them. Flexibility of original not overly important. Bound volumes can be copied either by an automatic or manual exposure feature. Automatic for single sheet original. Manual or automatic exposure for books, after which copy is made and delivered automatically. Operates from an "Intermediate" paper which comes in rolls. Exposure is made to this paper and latent image is then trans- ferred on to "Receptor" paper by means of physical heat. Intermediate paper auto- matically is re-exposed to destroy latent image for security purposes. Up to 25 copies of one original can be made by dial setting. Will copy all colors, but with a varying degree of density. It can also be adjusted to screen out unwanted colored paper background. Although rollers are involved in feeding original, it follows a straight path to a flatbed exposure area, which enables the feed mechanism to accept less flexible material. Because the process is somewhat similar to photographic principles, solids, photos, and halftones reproduce with good fidelity and trueness of tone. The image is considered to be permanent. Machine can be used to make transparencies and translucent masters for diazo. Considered good for a specialized, local function, rather than for general use in a centralized activity. a. Rental. All maintenance, repair and service provided by the manufacturer. b. Purchase. Annual contract available for $180.00 to $208.00 depending on the zone. Rate decreases with more than 5 machines in the same location. Service covers all main- tenance and repairs. a. Rental. (1) Charge of .01 for each copy. (2) Minimum charge per month, $25.00 (2500 copies). b. Purchase. Price is $1465.10. With purchase of a rented machine, 100% of the meter charge may be applied to the cost within 60 days of installation ; after 60 days, 50% of the meter charge may be applied up to 50% of the purchase price. c.

Pricing. A new machine is furnished on a rental basis only. It is equipped with 3 meters, the fees being based on the number of copies made of one original. The first 3 copies are .04 each ; the next 4 to 10 are .02 each ; and 11 and up are .01 each. Minimum is $60.00 per month, but there is no monthly use charge. b. Purchase. Machine cannot be purchased new, nor is there any reason to do so. However, a rented one currently in use may be purchased under the same terms as a lease-purchase 813. c. Multiple copy dial can be set up to 15 for continuous copying. This machine is identical to the 914 except for the following : a. Pricing. A new machine is furnished on a rental basis only. It is equipped with 3 meters, the fees being based on the number of copies made of one original. The first three copies are .04 each ; the next 4 to 10 are .02 each ; and 11 and up are .01 each. Minimum is $175.00 per month, but there is no monthly use charge. b. Purchase. Machine cannot be purchased new, and there is no advantage in doing so. However, a rented one currently in use may be purchased under the same terms as a lease-purchase 914. 420/2 a. General. All factors applicable to the 420/3 are the same on the 420/2 except for metering. The 420/2 is equipped with 2 meters, the rates being .04 each for the first 3 copies, and .02 each for those from 4 up. Minimum is $175.00 per month. b. Purchase. This model is no longer being made or supplied. However, where currently in use, it can be continued under the dual metering plan, or converted to a 420/3, or purchased under the same terms as a leJase- purchase 914. 720 (Plan 'A"-Modular Pricing)' This is the newest of the Xerox line of copiers and it is similar in appearance to the 914 but with some style modifications. It operates on the same principle, however, except for the following features : a. Multiply copy dial can be set up to 20, or for continuous copies. b. It is available for rental only, having 3 meters with the same price range as the 420/3. Minimum is $225.00 per month, but there is no monthly use charge. c. Speed is greater than the 914 or 420 series. The 720 produces 12 copies of an original per minute after warm-up time. Costs These four machines have one thing in common and that is they all operate on multiple metering systems. Supply costs are the same as those for the 813 and 914 respectively. Comparative unit costs are shown on the chart on the reverse side, based on 1 to 15 copies of one original, and presupposing a monthly volume of between 17 and 23 thousand copies. The volume per month has no bearing on the cost of copies except that it must be sufficient to meet the minimum set for each model. ' This machine is also available under a high volume rental plan (Plan "B" or "XDP") similar to that offered for Models 813 and 914. This plan for high-volume users is based on the total monthly copying workload regardless of the number of copies made of particular documents. There is a minimum monthly charge of $600.00 for the first 36,000 copies made and succeeding copies are at .0139 per copy. In addition to a cost advantage, the added speed of this machine provides another -advantage over the Model 914 in heavy volume situations. See figure 19 for more details. The manufacturer has also announced, but not yet marketed, other modified and speedier versions of the 813 and 914 models.

Size: Table model. 191/8" wide, 26" deep, 171/4" high. Portable. Electrical: 115 volt, 60 cycle, 15 amps. Requires clear line. Copy Paper: 8" x 101/2" to 81/2" x 14". Standard paper, 20 lb. only. Prone to jam with other weights. Accommodates about 150 sheets in magazine loading. Automatic feed. Original: Roller feed exposure. Will accept only lightweight flexible original which passes through machine, up to 9" x 14". Operation : Selector knob for 1 to 10 copies automatically ; insertion of original activates start switch. Warning light shows when to feed next original. Buzzing sound indicates copy paper low. Fuse image by heat. Warning light shows when web needs replacing; machine will automatically stop and will not feed next original. Speed: First copy 26 seconds. Subsequent copies from same original about 11.5 seconds. Supplies: a. Drum cleaning web, good for about 1300 copies. Machine will cease to operate at 1500. b. Developer, one loading good for about 14,000 copies. c. Toner, dry powder form, about 10,000 copies from 1 lb. Capabilities: Provided proper maintenance is given, will usually make a clear copy. Does poorly on solids, photos and halftones ; light blues come out weak but can be improved by use of a yellow acetate carrier for the original. If not fed properly, original can trigger acti- vating switch, but fail to take original in. Cure for this is to push original into feeding aperture until a slight buckle appears ; machine will not take original until it is ready. Copy is automatically reduced in size by about 6%. It is not a high volume producer because- a. It has a relatively slow speed. b. The web must be replaced at least every 1500 copies ; causes delay if servicing personnel are not immediately available. c. Copy paper magazine holds only 150 sheets ; d. It will not copy bound volumes ; e. Copy and original delivery tray has tendency to become clogged due to static. Despite these factors, the machine is considered very practical on a purchase basis for localized applications, since-- a. It is small and compact, can be put just about anywhere ; b. It can be plugged into ordinary outlet ; c. It is one of the few table models which has a fusing element ; d. It uses ordinary paper. Service: a. Rental. All repairs and maintenance except for the drum cleaning web are provided by the company. Servicing is at regular intervals. b. Purchase. There are two options : (1) By yearly contract at a rate of .012 per copy. Servicing is the same as for rental. (2) By onca.ll service as needed at existing hourly rates and repair costs. (3) By training of customer employee by Xerox Corp. at a cost of $320.00 plus tool kit and any transportation and living expenses which may be involved. Costs : a. Rental. Minimum 500 copies per month. No use charge. First 1500 copies .045 each. All additional .035 each. (New plan "B" rates shown on chart.) b. Purchase. $4,000. A rental customer can apply up to $1,000 of meter charges for the prior 18 months toward the gross purchase price. c. Supplies. All supplies for either rental or purchase plan will vary from $7.15 to $6.43 per M copies. d. Volume. Volume costs are shown on the following chart. Compare carefully the unit costs under both the rental and purchase plans.

COPIER COSTS The preceding figures covering selected individ- ual copiers have provided an explanation of the operating procedures and capabilities of the evalu- ated machines, and also data on unit costs at vary- ing volumes of copies produced under rental and purchase plans. Since unit cost data is an im- portant consideration in selecting a copier, a clear understanding should be had of how best to use this data. It should be realized that only certain copy-preparation costs which could be easily measured were included in the unit cost computa- tions of the figures. As explained in this chap- ter-which covers copier costs in general-other costs which are not so easily measured can affect the overall monetary liability a copier installation rep- resents to an agency. These intangible costs must also be considered. Importance of Per-Copy Cost Although the cost-per-copy information included in figures 4 through 19-or similar information prepared for other machines-may not be fully comprehensive in coverage, it does provide a usa- ble guide for comparing the prices and charges of various manufacturers, each of whom might use different techniques in stating his charges. These unit costs are, however, subject to frequent changes. A change in any one of the several ele- ments comprising these unit costs will affect the overall cost per copy shown. To be most meaning- ful, the elements to be included in determining monthly cost per copy for rented copiers are (1) all meter or other monthly charges, and (2) estimates for separate supply costs at the projected monthly volume of copies produced. In a purchase situation, monthly cost per copy should reflect (1) the purchase price computed on the basis of a 5-year amortization, (2) supply costs at the projected volume of copies to be produced, and (3) for the more sophisticated machines, an allowance for monthly maintenance costs such as a service contract. Even with such uniformity in estimating cost per copy, it is not appropriate to compare various copiers on this basis alone; for example, it is diffi- cult to compare a machine costing $69.50 with one costing as high as $25,000 to buy. While it may be more valid to compare various machines employ- ing the same copying process-electrostatic, for example-here again there can be a wide variance in the capabilities of the separate machines. If each copying machine never failed to make a copy which suited the purpose, the cost per-copy figure would be a stable factor. Under such cir- cumstances, it would be said positively that this copy cost so much more or less than that copy. However, this cannot be done because these ma- chines and the people who use them are so un- predictable. Many other factors cause the cost per copy to be unstable. Among these are waste, malfunction, downtime, frequency of servicing, and user carelessness. Any one or all of these fac- tors make a difference in cost. Cost per copy within process groups varies only slightly among various copiers. For example, those of the charts included in figures 4 through 19 which cover selected electrostatic copiers have shown a variation in cost per copy of only about 1 to 2 cents at the volume of production for which the copiers were intended. In itself this hardly seems significant; yet when multiplied by the thousands of copies produced at a specific location, ,the monetary difference can be tremendous. Overhead Costs These costs are not so easy to figure, but they neces- sarily must be considered. The mechanics of the machine itself can materially influence overhead costs. Factors to consider include complexity of routine maintenance, ease of using controls, speed of copy production, simplicity of loading toner and paper, and amount of downtime. Although such factors cannot always be ex- pressed in terms of man-hours or dollars and cents, Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 they should be evaluated from an operational view- point.. For example, in a high-volume situation, overall copying costs would be significantly a f- fected by the speed of a copier. Labor costs could be doubled if a machine rated at 5 copies a minute were to be installed instead of one rated at 10 copies Other Factors Affecting Cost Misuse and inefficient use can inflate costs with- out necessarily showing up in any figures. Con- sider these possibilities to correct poor usage : ? Match the machine to the job to be done. Copying requirements are not all the same, even though appearance might seem similar. ? Establish controls' nd enforce them ! Half- hearted controls are worse than none at all- they breed inconsistency and encourage partiality. ? Train authorized people to use the copiers. Even if copying is done in a do-it-yourself central location, certain people in an office can be designated who can use the machines. ? Advise supervisory and management person- nel in the policies applicable to copying re- quirements, since they are in an ideal position to implement such policies. Paper Quality Special paper needed for a particular process or type of machine is always available from the equip- ment manufacturer, but many paper companies and equipment competitors offer such paper at reduced prices. Many of these are very suitable, but certain "bargain" papers may mean high waste because of hidden factors which cannot be immedi- ately seen. Two are inconsistent quality and short shelf life. It is advisable to purchase a small amount for trial before placing an order for large quantitiesbased on price only. Purchase Versus Lease Costs Federal Property Management Regulations, Sub- part 101-25.5, covering purchase or lease deter- minations in procuring an office copier-included as appendix "A" of this handbook-provide gen- eral guidelines in deciding whether it is more eco- nomical to lease or purchase a copier. More specific guidance on the relative cost per copy under both a rental and a purchase plan is avail- able in the comparative charts for the selected copiers included in figures 4 through 19. When manufacturers offer both rental and pur- chase plans, it usually is more economical to pur- chase a copier than it is to lease one. There can be exceptions to this rule, however. One excep- tion which requires careful comparison is the Xerox Model 914 because of its high initial pur- chase price and the variety of rental options offered by this manufacturer. From a cost standpoint, this particular machine must be treated in a special way, so as to obtain the full benefit of the various pricing arrangements. See figure 19 for more details. One other possible exception involves the pro- curement of large high-volume machines by offices which may not have completed full-scale feasi- bility studies. In this situation, it may be advis- able to lease the machine for a short trial period prior to purchasing it. Many machines are ob- tainable under a lease/purchase agreement, whereby a portion of the rental can later be applied to the purchase price. The lease period should be within whatever time limit the manufacturer has set to provide the highest possible application of rental payments to the purchase price.

COPIER SELECTION General Criteria Consider the following general criteria before pro- curing a copier : ? Be sure a copying machine is the answer to your problem, rather than some other meth- od of reproduction. ? Make sure you know your copying needs. ? Determine what kind of copies will best suit those needs. ? Sift the meaningful from the meaningless in sales talk and manufacturers' literature. ? View demonstrations on appropriate copiers. ? Take a "show me" attitude during demon- strations. Use your own test material foi copies, whenever possible. ? Consider obtaining the loan of a machine you think will do the job, so that your people may test it themselves. ? Don't buy more capacity and quality than needed. Analyzing Specific Factors Before an office requests a copier, it should study thoroughly the factors which will affect the selec- tion and operation of the copier, if procured. Of- ficials should have answers to such questions as: a. What type of documents will be copied? Are capabilities needed to copy documents having dif- fering sizes, colors, backgrounds, bindings, thick- ness, or transparencies; and are photographs or halftones included? b. How good must the copies be? A legible copy is usually the minimum requirement, where- as in a majority of cases it could be the maximum. c. How many.copies of each original will be re- quired? It is important to know the average num- ber of copies of each original since this influences the type of machine that should be selected. Some copying processes and some pricing plans permit making multiple copies at just a fraction of the cost of the first copy. Figure 20 illustrates the experience of copier in- stallations in the headquarters offices of the De- partment of the Army. The chart shows 2 signif- icant percentages involving copying requests re- ceived which ranged from 1 copy per original to over 25 copies per original. The first column shows the percentage of originals in relation to the total originals submitted, the second shows the percentage of copies made in relation to the total copying work load. An office requesting a copier should find out if the Army's experience is representative of its own pattern of requests for copies. If significant vari- ations are discovered, a similar chart fitting the local situation should be developed. d. How many total copies will be needed per month? The total number of .copies per month is significant when a copier is being rented-es- pecially when a minimum volume is required or when the meter charge per copy is reduced after a specified volume has been produced. In any case, it has a bearing on whether a light-duty or a heavy-duty copier is selected. e. What will it cost for the machines, supplies, and maintenance? The cost consideration should be based on both the cost of the machine and the cost per copy. The most expensive machine does not always produce the best or the cheapest copies. Many machines will not produce copies as inex- pensively as claimed by the manufacturer because the manufacturer gathers his data under ideal conditions and usually does not consider waste and maintenance costs. /. What type of service will the manufacturer give? This will vary considerably from one manufacturer to another and from one location to another. In some cases regular rates will apply, while in others, the manufacturer sells a service contract with the machine.

How much time and skill will be required to procedures require too few copies when the docu- operate the machine? On most machines very lit- ment is created. tie skill is required, but each machine has its own operating characteristics. The important thing in this respect is that those individuals using a machine learn to use it properly. Determining Your Requirements Check on what your current procedures require and know how the copier will fit into office paper- work systems. A true evaluation might show some needs which really do not exist. Look over the kind of copying being done now, and find out who uses copies and for what purpose. For ex- ample, check into the following : a. Are copies being made from originals which have an internal source to begin with? Maybe b. Are most copies for temporary use? If so, a sophisticated machine is most likely not the solu- tion. Look at less expensive ones. c. Are most sent to the general public? It may be advisable to have quality capability in the machine. d. Is high volume a factor? Consider carefully the speed of a copier as well as other factors. e. What is the ratio of copies to the original? If this is high in a large majority of requests, a copier with a recycling device may be advisable, or possibly a copier where the cost per copy reduces with the number of copies made per document.

A copy would appear to be adequate if the image can be read without strain, does not rub off or fade, can take handling without damage, and is reasonable in cost. A copy need only be good enough to suit the purpose for which it is intended. Multiple Copy Requirements Several alternative methods are available to reduce the cost per copy when multiple copy requirements must be satisfied. Two of the methods are dis- cussed under this heading and others under the suc- ceeding two headings. Because of the many vari- ables involved, no one method can fit all situations. Offices should adopt the particular approach which best fits their own needs. For offices with small-volume copy requirements, the Cavalcade machine of Eastman Kodak (dye transfer process) is one possibility. This equip- ment has the potential of making multiple copies from one exposure at a continually reducing cost per copy. Some experience with the machine is necessary before this economy can be realized, but the advantages are fairly obvious. Other equipment manufacturers offer a variety of pricing plans covering rented machines to re- duce the cost of multiple copies. These plans are of 2 types. One type establishes a progressively lower charge per copy as successively greater num- bers of copies of the same original are produced. For example, the Xerox Corporation, as shown in figure 17, offers several multi-metered copiers under such a plan. These copiers are modifica.- tions of the basic Models 813 and 914. Typical charges under this plan are 4 cents a copy for the first 3 copies of an original document, 2 cents a copy for the fourth through tenth copies of the document, and 1 cent for all subsequent copies of that document. Before renting a machine under this plan, an agency should analyze its requests for copies and obtain information on multiple copy requests similar to that shown in figure 20. Also, each py y comparing i s cos p type 01 plan, if any, against the copy costs established for other avail- able copiers or short-run duplicating facilities. Note, for example, that while 73% of the requests for copies received by the Department of the Army were for 3 or less copies of a document, they only represented 37% of the total copying workload. If a copier is rented on this basis, controls are needed to restrict its use to those types of multiple copy requests for which the pricing plan would provide lowest possible per-copy costs. The other type of rental plan offers an easier method for estimating copying costs. It is based on reducing the per-copy charge after a specified number of copies have been prepared per month on a rented machine. In effect, under this plan, the greater the total monthly copying workload on a machine, the lower the overall per-copy cost, re- gardless if only one or many copies of particular documents are requested. As figure 20 has shown, however, multiple copy requests quickly increase the total copying workload. Several manufacturers offer this type of rental plan. For example, Xerox Corporation rents the Models 813, 720, and 914 in this manner, the SCM Corporation similarly rents its Coronastat Model 55, the Litton Industries its Royfax 7 Model, and the 3-M Corporation its Adherography System A-09. As newer models of copiers have become speedier and more sophisticated, there has been a trend to reduce the cost per copy in high volume situations. With such pricing plans, certain of the copying machines are becoming increasingly competitive cost-wise in the field of short-term du- plicating; for example, with the combination sys- tems discussed under the next heading. Combination Systems Among the alternative methods to reduce cost per copy when multiple copies of a document are re- quired, data has been obtained on two employing a combination of in electrostatic copier with another machine. Both of these methods are basically de- signed to produce a relatively high number of copies per document. In both methods, electro- static copiers are used to obtain a first document copy or master which is compatible with the second 51 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 machine upon which the bulk of the copies are in both of these combination systems Xerox 914 produced." costs have been used. In one system the electrostatic machine is paired with a diazo copying machine. This combination obtains the advantages of the low cost per copy and the relatively fast copymaking rate of diazo copiers for each additional copy to be run from the electrostatically-prepared compatible first copy. In the second system, the electrostatic machine prepares a paper master which can be run quickly and cheaply on an offset press to obtain the re- quired numbers of additional copies. When determining overall costs per copy under these combination systems, the personnel costs in- volved in operating two machines can be a con- siderable factor. The previous figures in which cost per copy has been computed did not take into account personnel costs. In considering combina- tion systems, however, it was felt that labor costs should not be ignored, since the use of a full-time operator to man these machines within a reproduc- tion facility is assumed. The labor costs utilized reflect those of a particular printing and repro- duction service (the plants of the Department of the Navy Publications and Printing Service). Labor costs and operating methods in printing fa- cilities of other agencies may vary considerably from those of this Service. Electrostatic-Diazo System. This system, for which detailed cost information is provided in fig- ure 21, pairs a Xerox 914 copier with a diazo copier. The Xerox 914 is not the only electrostatic copier that has the capability of preparing copies which are compatible with diazo machines. For example, the Bruning Company has recently an- nounced the availability of special transluscent copier paper at 31/2 cents per sheet for this purpose. However, for comparability of first-copy cost data, In developing the labor cost data shown in figure 21 for the Xerox 914-Diazo combination, it is as- sumed that both machines are installed side-by-side and volume is adequate to support the employment of a skilled operator who will operate both ma- chines simultaneously. Other assumptions in computing the labor costs incurred at this particu- lar location are explained in the text of the figure. Electrostatic-Offset Combination. Again, as in the discussion of the electrostatic-diazo combina- tion, other copiers than the Xerox 914 have the capability of producing paper masters for running on offset presses. For purposes of example, how- ever, Xerox 914 costs are used in figure 22 which covers this process. In this discussion, it is as- sumed that offset printing is readily available and the required number of copies and quality require- ments do not exceed the capabilities of the paper masters. The following are the assumptions upon which the detailed cost information in figure 22 is based : The offset printing prices are a constant. (They reflect the price structure established in the plants of the Department of the Navy Publications and Printing Service.) The Xerox 914 is used as an integral part of a systems operation and in doing so produces significant numbers of masters which may be "bulk" delivered to the offset operation. The offset press is also assumed to be only margin- ally used on production from masters pro- duced on a single Xerox 914, with the bulk of the offset production being generated else- where. In establishing costs per copy, equipment de- preciation costs are nonsignificant. 1 Electrostatic copiers are not the only copiers capable of producing masters for these types of combination systems. For example, the Adherography combination System A-09 of 3-M Corporation (discussed on page 9) employs a dual spectrum copier to obtain the master copy from which additional copies are run on the special "Speed Copier" machine. The dual spectrum machine also can produce master copies for use in conjunction with other combination systems, such as being paired with a diazo machine. In addition, another combination system pairs thermal copiers with spirit duplicating machines to provide economical short runs of reproduced copies. If a combination system appears to be a good solution in meeting multiple copy requirements, it is essential that whatever copier is selected should have the capability of preparing compatible masters.

In this case it is also assumed that both machines will be operated by a single skilled operator. With a single copy cycle of 35 seconds and a consecutive original cycle of 19 seconds for the Xerox, the data in this table assumes that two diazo copies will be produced for each Xerox copy. The 26 second Xerox copy time has been established at the approximate mid-point between the 35 and 19 second cycles to allow for appropriate delay time incident to the synchronization of manual operations to the cycle times of the machines. The delay time assumed also includes an averaging of the Xerox throughput time for the first original as against the lower output cycle times when consecutive originals are fed.

This machine has a rated speed of 40 copies of the same document a minute and can automatically produce 499 copies of the same document with one dial set- ting. It was originally offered under a rental plan (known as Plan "A") based on progressively re- ducing the charge per copy as successively greater numbers of copies of the same original are pre- pared. The rates under this plan were as follows : First 3 copies @ 4? each Using these two factors, figure 22 shows the total Copies 4 through 25 @ 22 each and per-copy costs for varying numbers of copies Copies 11 'through 25 @ 1? each of the same original.

A Department of Health, Education and Wel- fare (HEW) cost analysis states: "In summary then, our conclusion is that at present pricing the Xerox 2400 is essentially convenience equipment. Technically, the ma- chine has a role to play in short-run duplicat- ing that it is presently precluded from playing on a wide basis by economic factors. In a Department as large as this there will be some applications that will be justified. We ask, however, that each potential using office seriously ponder the cost creation capability of a single machine. One Xerox 2400 pro- ducing 11 copies per original and working only 7 hours in a day would create an outlay of $61,000 per year. Considering our experience with load increments on other copying ma- chines which have often risen from an origi- nally justified $100 per month to $1,000 per month, we are seriously concerned with the cost creation potential of this particular machine." 1 $0. 314 $0. 3140 2 .318 .1590 3 .322 .1073 4 .326 .0815 5 .330 .0660 6 .334 .0557 7 .338 .0483 8 .342 .0427 9 .346 .0384 10 .350 .0350 15 .370 .0247 20 .390 .0244 25 .410 .0164 30 .430 .0143 35 .450 .0129 40 .470 .0118 45 .490 .0109 50 .510 .0102 75 .610 .0081 100 .710 .0071 200 1. 110 .0056 300 1. 510 .0050 400 1. 910 .0048 500 2. 310 .0046 Figure 22 Refer to figure 23 for a "Cost Volume Analysis" compiled by this Department covering the use of the Xerox 2400 versus the duplicating press. 54 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 COST VOLUME ANALYSIS (HEW) PRODUCTION OF ONE-SIDED COPY ON XEROX 2400 (UNMANNED) VERSUS ONE-SIDED- COPY ON DUPLICATING PRESS Number Copies Per Original Maximum Monthly Production Xerox 24001 Average Monthly Production offset 2 Monthly Rental & supply Costs Xerox 2400 Total Monthly Cost by Offset Unit Cost Xerox 2400 Unit Cost Offset Percent Difference in Unit Cost 2400 over Offset 11 178, 209 40, 138 $5, 140 $799 $0.0289 $0.0199 45 15 206, 580 53, 130 5, 157 829 .0251 .0156 61 20 232, 760 68,200 5, 190 853 .0223 .0125 78 25 251,405 82, 109 5,204 877 .0208 .0107 94 30 271, 920 94, 776 4, 720 900 .0174 .0095 84 40 286, 000 118, 800 4, 697 927 .0164 .0078 105 50 299,200 139, 700 4, 488 964 .0154 .0069 123 I Based on maximum speed, i.e., .025 minute per unit. 2 Based on average speed (43% of maximum) i.e., .020 minute per impression. N.B. A Xerox 2400 has the potential of expending in excess of $62,000 per year working only 7 hours of the day. Figure ,23 In another Government agency, a special study was also conducted on the potential use of this ma- chine. It was concluded that the availability of the Xerox 2400 is creating widespread interest and demands for this machine are becoming insistent. A point to be remembered is that if one replaces a Xerox 914 with a Xerox 2400, the ability to make it low cost Xerox paper master is lost since the Xerox 2400 will not make masters. The alterna- tive then is to rely upon the Xerox 2400 to substi- tute for an offset press and by the time it has pro- duced 15 copies it becomes progressively more costly than the Xerox 914-Offset combination. Considering the speeds available at the agency's printing facility, by the time it has produced about 80 copies it becomes progressively slower than the Xerox 914-automated Offset press combination, with uniform paper master, and at the rate of 150 copies, slower than the Xerox 914-Offset press combination with non-uniform masters. Another alternative is to retain the Xerox 914 or some other low cost copying device for making masters in addition to the Xerox 2400. But this alterna- tive does not seem to offer much in the way of economy. These cost and time factors must be measured against the advantages of simplicity, convenience, and short run speed of the Xerox 2400. In many situations, particularly in non-systems types of applications where the input is random in pages, numbers of copies, sizes, image location, and qual- ity, the advantages of the Xerox 2400 may well override cost considerations, or even, based upon the "mix" of work, provide outright economy. During the test of a preproductive model Xerox 2400, conducted by the agency, a wide variety of work was processed. A sample group of 30 jobs comprising 3226 originals, averaging 21.1 copies was produced at an'average rate of 1393 copies per hour, or about 23.2 copies per minute, illustrative of the problem involved in synchronizing human and mechanical effort. In this sample, the range in production speed ran from a low of 120 copies per hour to 2100 copies per hour. The relative merits of convenience, speed, quality, and cost effectiveness must be judged'and matched to the job to be done. The manufacturer has recently announced the availability of a second type of monthly rental 55 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 plan (known as as Plan "B" or "XDP") based on the total monthly copying workload of a Model 2400. This additional monthly rental plan is as follows : First 120,000 copies @ .0092 each (Based on a minimum monthly charge $1,100.00) Copies over 120,000 @ .0042 each (Estimated supply cost per copy .0038) (Break even with Model 720-Plan "B"- about 56,000 copies at present pricing) The manufacturer has also recently changed the Plan "A" pricing pattern to be 4 cents for the first 3 copies, 2 cents for copies 4 through 10, and 1/2 cent for all additional copies made from the same original. Neither the latest price change for Plan "A" nor the optional Plan `B" rates were in effect when the above 2 evaluations of this high-volume copying machine were made. The cost informa- tion upon which the evaluations were based, there- fore, does not reflect current data. These 2 price changes, and their possible effect on previous decisions made regarding this copying machine, illustrate the problem facing an agency which is conscientiously attempting to get the most value from funds expended for copying services. In this rapidly changing field of copying equip- ment, each agency must make a positive effort to keep its information current. Neither yesterday's rates nor yesterday's machine capabilities can be relied on when making today's choice as to the best methods or equipment a particular agency should use to meet its multiple copy requirements.' Matching Machines to Need Get as much in a machine as you need-but not more. Don't pay for extras you don't need. Overbuying-that is buying more capability than required-is one sure way to start a copy explosion. To sum up, consider all the capabilities needed in a copier to meet the proven requirements of the copying job to be done at a particular location. Preferably, obtain the needed information on re- quirements by a study of the kinds of materials expected to be copied and the paperwork systems involved in creating these documents. A clear-cut knowledge of the actual copying requirements of an installation can lead to clear- cut answers to questions as to what machine capabilities are needed, if any, to : copy bound volumes, photographs and charts with solid areas, special colored inks or colored backgrounds, or documents of varying sizes; prepare various types of masters for combination systems; meet proven multiple-copy requirements; produce print-like quality copies; or prepare transparencies for over- head projection. When matching machines to need, offices should not overlook the availability of accessible copiers already on hand which might be used to meet any infrequently occurring special requirements. Making the Selection When selecting a copier, do not carry comparisons of various machines to an extreme, since many copiers in the same grouping have basically simi- lar characteristics. Compare a few types, and have these demonstrated with actual samples of your own documents. Some words of caution are applicable here. Very often, superb copies are produced on dem- onstration machines. Although the machine may be capable of producing such copies, the same model of machine used by various persons under actual working conditions might produce copies varying from poor to excellent. On the other hand, demonstration machines sometimes fail to function as well as they were in- tended to, and may require some manipulation be- fore performing properly. They may be per- fectly capable machines, but rough handling could have disturbed a delicate part. Give each machine ample opportunity to prove itself. 'As an example of the rapid changes involved, the Xerox Corporation has announced, but not yet marketed, 3 modified versions of the Model 2400 and an even speedier version to be known as Model 3600. Other companies can be expected to make similar types of revisions or additions to their lines in the extremely competitive copier field. 56 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Try the machine yourself.

These questions are basic- All requests for copying equipment should be reviewed by a competent individual who would have the responsibility of investigating the need. This individual could be the records manager or a reproduction or supply specialist. Leaving the selection of copying equipment to someone un- familiar with the varying capabilities of different machines and the paperwork systems involved can result in the selection of equipment unsuited for the job. When a machine is found which appears to meet the requirements, it may be desirable to borrow it for onsite testing. If it is decided to do so, arrange adequate wiring beforehand so that installation is not excessively delayed. The machine should not be kept longer than the agreed period. By the end of the trial period, a definite conclusion should be reached. Avoid onsite testing of one machine after the other, as this creates delays, causes con- fusion, and inhibits continued cooperation. Ade- quate preliminary evaluation will preclude the necessity for excessive testing. If a large type of machine is selectedbut cannot be borrowed for onsite testing, consider procuring it under a lease/purchase agreement, if availa- ble. If purchase is advisable, a portion of the rental covering the short testing period can be applied to the purchase price. Evaluating a Request for a Copier Persons who review requests for copying machines such as records managers, supply personnel, or re- production specialists should realize that no two copying requirements are identical, and, thus, no (1) (2) Why does the requesting office need a copier? The answer must indicate the function or activity which creates the requirement for a copier. Are the copies a part of the function? If not, how do they provide assistance in performing the function? Are the copies primarily for convenience only? What is the name of the machine re- quested? Be sure you know the kind in question. Some manufacturers make only one-others several models. For instance : a "Bruning" means little, since the Bruning Company makes dry and liquid process electrostatic copiers, and also diazo copiers; a "3-M" does not fully describe the kind, since the 3-M Company makes a number of models of both thermal and dual spectrum machines. The model number is most descriptive. (3) What is its cost or rental fee? In many cases, various discounts apply, there may be additional fees for installation, or freight costs can be extra in particular localities. (4) What about maintenance service? are two major factors involved here: one, the promptness with which service is rendered, and two, the cost of service is often dependent on the distance from a service point. (5) Where will the copier be installed? If the copier is to be used by a major part of the work force, accessibility, in terms of Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 distance, shouldbe equalized. The "boss," the purpose. If the current machine is to simply because of his position, should not be replaced, what is wrong with it? There have prime accessibility. is no need to replace a machine simply be- (6) Who will operate the copier? If the copier is to be available on a self-service basis, users must be educated in its capabil- ities and the policies affecting its use, if it is to be used effectively. In addition, specific individuals must be designated who will be responsible for routine maintenance. They should receive adequate instruction for this purpose. If a special operator is to be assigned, the justification should show whether or not the expected savings or benefits will compensate for the opera- tor's salary. (7) What is the volume of originals to be copied monthly? How much of this num- ber are for 2 to 5 copies each? How much for 6 to 10 copies? If the 6 to 10 volume is a large proportion, and is justified by the function, copiers with special capabili- ties should be considered. If a large pro- portion is over 10 copies per original, a procedural study may be in order to de- termine the need. A copier in this in- stance may be the wrong equipment. (8) How many copies are produced each month? Check the predominant size of the copies also. If larger than legal size, a roll-fed machine may reduce the number of insertions. If a large majority of copies are from bound volumes, a machine with flat-bed exposure is the better ap- proach. (9) What use is made of the copies? Where the major portion is strictly for in-house convenience, rather than a functional ne- cessity, a copier may be an extravagance. If many are being filed, find out why- retention of unneeded copies eventually causes increases in filing equipment. (10) What equipment is now being used to pro- duce copies? If a central facility is cur- rently being used, there must be a reason why it is now considered inadequate for cause it lacks modern features. If it pro- duces well, keep it; if it is not producing effectively, maybe it has been improperly maintained. (11) What controls are planned to reduce un- authorized copying and misuse? It can- not be assumed that all persons will use the copier conscientiously. Realistic pol- icies should be established which include plans for periodic inspections and review of controls. The above questions will lead to other questions. The information thereby obtained will reveal much more about the copying requirements than the requesting office itself is aware of. Often this type of inquiry will suggest a different approach to the problem. In addition to these 11 basic questions, other factors to be considered by a reviewer include : a. Offices having their own copier should be encouraged to share it if it is not being used to capacity. It is poor economy for several adjacent small offices to each have their own copier idle a major portion of each day. b. Statistics and figures furnished must be real- istic. Production or other records will often pro- vide a basis for determining correct figures. If none are available, a sampling might be taken over a short period, and the resultant figures then con- verted into a month's production. Estimates are acceptable if they are based on a realistic work- load ; but "guesstimates" pulled out of thin air do not provide a good foundation for evaluation. c. Remember that the cost per copy is not the only factor to be considered. Although it is im- portant, the capability to meet requirements is a major consideration. Some machines offer spe- cific advantages over others for particular appli- cations. d. An evaluation should not be rushed through. A few extra days cannot possibly do a great deal Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 of harm to any operation.

PUTTING COPIERS TO USE Checklist for Operation of Copiers 1 Shown below is a checklist of pertinent factors governing use of copying machines. (1) Designate a single individual in each in- stallation to control the management of copying machines. This could be the re- production manager, the records manager, or other personnel of this type who are thoroughly familiar with the use of office copiers or other types of short-run dupli- cating equipment. (2) Teach responsible individuals how to use a copying machine. This can be accom- plished by a short training program con- ducted free of charge by the office machine manufacturer. Best results will be ob- tained with several small groups. (3) Establish a good set of ground rules and see to it that they are enforced. Make periodic checks of how these rules are being followed. Ineffectively enforced controls may be a costly liability. (4) Insure that no more than the stipulated maximum number of copies per original are made on copying machines unless there is an emergency need for more than this amount. A maximum of 10 has been found to be most practical unless special machines for multiple copying have been obtained. (5) Avoid making or filing extra or unneces- sary copies. (6) Accept any copy that is easily read. Do not demand more than is adequate. (7) Consolidate single copy jobs in order to avoid frequent lengthy walks merely to make just one or two copies. (8) When considering the use of discount copy paper, test several samples before buying a large quantity in order to assure reasonable quality and consistency. (9) Inform instructors and lecturers which copying machines are capable of producing transparencies for overhead projection. Operator Maintenance The requirement for operator maintenance on elec- trostatic copiers cannot be overemphasized, par- ticularly where a requirement exists for decentral- ized equipment. For the most part, machines in individual office areas should be placed under maintenance contract. In addition, to assure the best possible results, a person should be designated to see that the machine is given daily maintenance. These precautions will assure efficient use and re- duce waste caused by- ? Paper running out. ? Dirty drums, rollers, and belts. ? Inactive paper and developers or disper- sants. ? Depletion of toner. ? Gross misuse. Copying Classified Documents Check with your security officer for the policy on copying classified documents. Even though the machine itself may be approved from a security standpoint, there are several conditions which re- quire caution, since the user of the machine is solely responsible for safeguarding classified material. Difficulties can arise from : ? Leaving documents under the cover of flat- bed exposure units. 'Other ways to reduce copier costs are contained in GSA Notice FSS 37, February 1967, prepared by an inter- agency Ad Hoc Committee for Improvement in Procurement and Management of Property. Specific techniques adopted by individual agencies for reducing costs of copier supplies, maintenance, and use are presented.

Requirement Changes Spot checks should be made from time to time to determine if the original need has changed. If re- quirements have decreased, a machine should be transferred to satisfy a new requirement or an in- creased requirement in another area. On the other hand, if user requirements have risen well above those originally planned for, checks of the validity of the copying requests should be made. It is important to know if the original estimates of the requirements were faulty, or if a flood of needless copies is being generated because of ease of access to a copier installation. ? Failure of the machine to deliver the num- ber of copies dialed. ? Damaged copies remaining inside the ma- chine. ?

CENTRALIZATION VERSUS DECENTRALIZATION General Considerations When we speak of "centralized" or "decentral- ized" copying service, we must also define the nature of these terms. Entire buildings may have a central service, or a single agency, or even a division-yet if several large divisions in an agency have their own "central" copying service, the agency may be described as having a "de- centralized" service. Whichever method is chosen, three broad areas must be considered: ? The organizational and physical arrange- ment. ? The scope and nature of functions. ? The volume of copies produced. Dual Advantages The following may be considered as advantages of a centralized facility : (1) It provides a service to offices which can- not justify a copier in their own right. (2) It reduces costs since some machines can (3) Organizational and Physical Arrangements There is no straight line approach in making an evaluation-each installation is different and must take into consideration the local conditions. There are, however, the following general criteria to be considered, which can be applied to the specific situations. ? What offices have a need for copying serv- ices? Different offices have different needs. Their organizational relationship may also have a bearing on how copying service is provided. ? Where are these offices located in relation to one another? Where offices needing copies are widely dispersed, centralization may not be practical. ? What is their individual volume of copy production? Offices which have a large volume may require their own copier for this reason only. One the other hand, cen- tralized service should be considered only where the total aggregate is relatively high. ? How do their functions affect their copying requirements? For instance, consider secu- rity, systems work, and urgency. be eliminated and requirements consoli- dated. Also, by increasing the number of copies made on each machine through cen- tralization, the cost per copy (unit cost) can be reduced, as shown by figures 4 through 19. It provides a reserve facility for peak loads or in case there is a breakdown of another machine. (4) Maintenance is more consistent and more (5) center might also include other types of reproduction machines, such as spirit duplicating, mimeograph, or offset equip- ment. With such a concentration of machines, the full-time manning of the equipment and the procurement of more sophisticated copiers can be easier to justify. easily provided since this responsibility can be assigned as a major duty. It can provide a more complete service by having several copying machines of differ- ent capabilities. In fact, such a copying These factors may be considered as advantages of a decentralized facility : (1) Better control of what is being copied can be exercised. The smaller the office, the better this control should be. The manager of the function which the copier is serving is the person responsible for such control. (2) Walking and waiting time is reduced and in many cases eliminated, thereby reducing delay in furnishing copies when needed. For estimating the cost of travel time, rates in figure 24 can be used.

(4) Smaller, less sophisticated, and less ex- pensive copiers can be scattered through- out a large area, thereby placing the sup- porting service adjacent to the location of the function. (5) Waste is reduced because copying needs are narrower in scope, the variety and number of users is much smaller, and overproduction is better controlled. Two Points of View Both sides of the question have their supporters. It has been cited by the advocates of decentraliza- tion that typewriters and telephones are not cen- tralized-each secretary and typist has her own typewriter, and each manager and supervisor his own telephone. However, there are many in- stances where secretaries and typists are central- ized (the typing pool) and the public telephone is a good example of a centralized service. On the other hand, the advocates of centralization say that it reduces misuse. The facts show, however, that most managers of central self-service facilities can not control what is copied because they do not supervise the users, are not responsible for the func- tion requiring the copies, and in addition have many other duties. Both arrangements can go in one of two direc- tions-either on a self-service basis, or with des- ignated operators provided. A system using op- erators, of course, has the advantage of providing the highest form of control and quality production. The question to be answered here is whether the savings accrued through the control can equal or surpass the cost of an operator or operators. Full time operators should not be considered if they add to the total copying costs. There is no such thing, of course, as a 100 per- cent centralized activity. Small copiers will con- tinue to be used by localized small offices to serve their own needs. There is nothing particularly wrong with this approach provided it is justified. If centralization is going to be adopted, certain factors will have an important bearing on its suc- cess: If the facility is self-service, it is important that machines be available to users in the shortest possible time. To insure this, limits must be set for the amount of time any one person can use a machine. If it is possible to do so, the most effective method is to set an actual time limit. By this means, a customer can estimate the maximum length of time be- fore a machine becomes available. If this method is not practical, a. limit should be set on the total number of copies that can be made at any one visit. Some method to control access, such as issu- ance of identification cards to be shown when entering the center, would be of value if it can be effectively enforced. Similarly, the value of a log or other record of copier pro- duction is dependent on the effectiveness of the controls at a particular installation. Personnel responsible for maintenance should receive thorough training in general upkeep as well as minor repairs. Customer offices can economize on travel to and from the center by consolidating copy work into batches compatible with the limits prescribed. This will reduce the number of trips to the minimum. Successful Decentralization If decentralization is adopted, the following fac- tors are pertinent : ? If self-service, designate one or two persons in the vicinity to be responsible for main- tenance, and train specific personnel in prop- er use of the copiers. ? If volume is high, consider assigning an op- erator or operators, possibly on an added duty basis. 64 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 Approved For Release 2001/07/17 : CIA-RDP74-00005R000100020043-5 ? Insure that office managers issue rules and good for all time. Periodic surveys should be made policies for use of the copier and enforce to evaluate changing circumstances and conditions. them.

This subpart prescribes guidelines to be used by executive agencies in deter- mining whether acquisition of equipment of the types specified in this subpart should be by purchase or lease. If ap- propriate, executive agencies should use these guidelines in the determination, allowance, or evaluation of costs under FPR 1-15 to the extent that the guide- lines are consistent therewith. ? 101-25.501 General. Studies conducted by the Federal Gov- ernment indicate that in many cases substantial savings can be realized through purchasing rather than leasing certain equipment. These studies em- phasize the need for making cost com- parisons prior to determining method of acquisition. ? 101-25.501-1 Acquisition considera- tions. (a) Prior to acquisition of the types of equipment specified in this subpart (and to other types as appropriate) consid- eration shall be given to: (1) Length of time the equipment is to be used, including extent of usage, e.g., three shifts for 2 years, and includ- ing potential additional use by another Federal agency if the equipment becomes excess to the acquiring agency ; (2) Financial and other advantages of all types and makes available; (3) Leasing costs and purchase op- tions; (4) Costs of purchase and installa- tion; (5) Imminent technological improve- ments; and (6) Other pertinent factors. (b) Where an agency already has leased equipment in its possession, con- sideration shall be given to-the feasibility of purchasing such equipment or new equipment of a similar or different type and make. ? 101-25.501-2 Cost comparison meth- ods. (a) Different methods may be used for projecting pertinent factors into a cost comparison of alternative methods of acquisition. These range from highly technical methods which include the consideration of factors such as interest rates, technological life, and trade-in or salvage value to a basic method which simply compares the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment against the cumulative costs of leasing. Irrespec- tive of the method used for cost com- parison, the point in time at which cumu- lative leasing costs exceed purchase costs for specific types of equipment usu- ally does not vary significantly. (b) A simplified method of making a comparative cost analysis of the alter- native methods of acquisition is illus- trated for each type of equipment for which purchase or lease guidelines and criteria are established in this Subpart 101-25.5. ? 101-25.501-3 Reviewing application of guidelines. (a) The acquiring agency has the pri- mary responsibility for appropriate ap- plication of the guidelines established in this Subpart 101-25.5. However, GSA will review data relating to equipment acquisitions involving purchase or lease determinations through a sampling of these transactions. Such reviews will be conducted in connection with regular surveys and studies of agency supply management practices and when pro- viding on-site assistance in the develop- ment of agency property accounting sys- tems, or through periodic reporting re- quirements to be established as required. (b) Copies of cost comparisons and any other pertinent data used to support decisions to lease or purchase equipment shall be retained in the acquiring agency's case file. ? 101-25.502 Methods of acquisition.

The method selected shall be that which offers the greatest advantage to the Government under the circumstances applying to each situation, cost and other factors considered. (b) Upon request, GSA will assist agencies in making appropriate determi- nations to lease or purchase equipment by providing the latest information on pending price adjustments to Federal Supply Schedule contracts and other factors such as recent or imminent tech- nological developments, new techniques, and industry or market trends. In- quiries should be addressed to General Services Administration, Federal Supply Service, Procurement Operations Divi- sion, Washington, D.C., 20406. ? 101-25.502-1 Purchase method. (a) A cost advantage can be obtained by the purchase method provided the equipment is used beyond the point in time at which the cumulative leasing costs exceed purchase costs. The pur- chase method shall be used when it has been established that the equipment un- der consideration can be used as pro- vided in ?? 101-25.502(a) and 101-25.502 (b) beyond the point in time at which the purchase method begins to provide a cost advantage. (b) The acquisition of selected equip- ment by the purchase method should not be ruled out in favor of leasing such equipment merely because of the possi- bility that future technological improve- ments may render the selected equip- ment less desirable. ? 101-25.502-2 Lease method. (a) The lease with option to purchase method shall be used when it is necessary or advantageous to proceed with acquisi- tion of the equipment that meets pro- gram or system requirements but it is determined that purchase should be de-"-[ ferred because circumstances do not fully ff satisfy the conditions set forth in ? 101- 25.502-1. (b) The lease method, without option to purchase, may be used when it is nec- essary or advantageous to proceed with the acquisiton of equipment that meets all program or system requirements, but the conditions for purchase set forth in ? 101-25.502-1 cannot be satisfied and a lease contract with purchase option is not attainable. ? 101-25.504 Office copying machines. (a) In selecting office copying ma- chines, agencies shall take full advantage of the purchase and lease options that may be available under the terms and conditions of the applicable Federal Supply Schedule contracts. Generally these contracts provide for receiving credit at certain times during the rental period for portions or for all of the rental payments made. These credits may be applied toward the purchase price of the equipment in some instances, and in others, title automatically passes to the Government when a prescribed percent- age of the rentals paid equals the pur- chase price of the equipment. When needed equipment is not available from a Federal Supply Schedule or if it is otherwise necessary for an agency to enter into a lease contract for its own requirements, an option to purchase should be provided in the contract. (b) Selection of the appropriate and most economical equipment for the ap- plication intended is the responsibility of the ordering agency. The selection process should include a review of the functional and financial advantages of all available copying processes (see ? 101-26.409). (c) Prior to acquisition of equipment, a comparison shall be made of the rela- tive costs of acquiring the equipment by use of the methods described in ? ? 101- 25.502-1 and 101-25.502-2.

The comparison is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not in- tended to represent an actual situation or take into account cost factors such as cost of supplies, replacement parts, and other factors which may be applicable and may or may not be identical under lease or purchase arrangements. The illustration assumes a lease vs. purchase cost analysis where the lease data is based on a monthly rental charge of $500 and no unit copy charge.

A -Many foreign companies, not included in this list, also manufacture and/or distribute copiers. B-Where one dimension is given, it refers to width; length is then theoretically unlimited. C-Column refers essentially to warm-up time at start of business day. D-Not all processes reproduce photos with equal fidelity. E-Machines may not copy all colors equally well. F-Arrowheads refer to steps, or nearest approximate description of steps, in making copy on ma- chine; read to right. G-Average claimed cost per copy is given in cents, time in seconds. Administrative Management makes no claim as to the complete accuracy of information in these columns, except to note that it was, in every case, supplied by the manufacturer or distributor involved. Readers should note that estimated average costs and time per copy are sometimes figured on a high-volume basis, and are sometimes likely to be laboratory optimums more than actual in-office realities. H-Speed automatically accelerates to maintain preset copy quality. I-Also sold as the Ampto 900 and Transrite. J-Also sold as the Economaster and Thriftamatic. K-Also sold as the Ampto 12 and Tran- samatic 1. L-Also sold as the Controller and Transmaster. M-American Pho- tocopy Equipment Co. N-See chart, page 86. O-When used in conjunction with firm's exposing unit. P-When used in conjunction with firm's developing unit. Q-Price includes cost of negative. Editor's notes: 1-Information in this chart is naturally subject to change, but was current and timely as of August 1, 1966. 2-Readers' attention is directed to the right-hand column of the chart. Circle the number shown on the reader service card opposite page 98 for more infor- mation on the line of copiers in question.

B-Where one dimension is given, it refers to width; length is then theoretically unlimited. C-Column refers essentially to warm-up time at start of business day. D-Not all processes reproduce photos with equal fidelity. E-Machines may not copy all colors equally well. F-Arrowheads refer to steps, or nearest approximate description of steps, in making copy on the machine; read to right. G-Average claimed cost per copy is given in cents, time in seconds. Administrative Management makes no claim as to the complete accuracy of information in these columns, except to note that it was, in every case, supplied by the manufacturer or distributor involved. Readers should note that estimated average costs and time per copy are sometimes figured on a high-volume basis, and are sometimes likely to be laboratory optimums more than actual in-office realities. H-Information not available at time of publi- cation. I-Up to 110-pound index stock. J-Has multiple-copy feature but auto- matically resets itself for single copying. K-Reinsert matrix (master) for up to seven additional copies. L-Actimeter accessory is available which provides for cartridge loading. M-First figure is claimed time for first copy, second figure for succeeding copies. N-First f1 ure is for automatic and second for manual model. O-Continuous forms copier. Editor's notes: i-Information in this chart is naturally subject to change, but was current and timely as of August 1, 1966. 2-Readers' attention is directed to the right-hand column of the chart.
