Call quality with VoIP systems should provide a vast improvement compared to traditional landlines. You will hear the term QOS or quality of service regarding VoIP, that means settings in your router are designated to provide the connection needed by your phones.

Desk phones offer you the most features when using VoIP but with our NimbusPhone mobile app, your business can have physical desk phones, NimbusPhone mobile apps or any combination.

A copier is typically a standalone device that makes exact copies of documents that are already on paper such as graphs, text, photos, etc. A printer is a device that prints directly onto the paper. Printers can be linked to a computer with a cable or wireless connection. The last question is one we hear a bit more. What is MFP? MFP stands for multi-function printer. A multi-function printer is an all-in-one machine that serves medium and large-sized teams very well. MFP's typically include the functionality of several devices in one unit. Most MFP's act as a copier, printer, scanner, and fax machine. Hopefully, this answers all of these questions clearly for you.

Both monochrome and color Lanier MFP's will display a message on the screen that tells you when the toner levels are getting low, and then another message when the toner is completely empty. On color machines, you'll see individual messages for the different colors, so you could have a message telling you that the cyan toner is completely out at the same time that you have a message saying the yellow toner is getting low. For multifunction printers that scan and copy, you can print out a configuration page that will display system information, including the current toner levels. To print the config page, press the User Tools button on the operation panel, and then from the menu that appears on the touch screen, select Printer Features. Under the first tab, List/Test Print, there will be a box that says Configuration Page or Config Page -- touch that option, and the configuration page will begin to print out. (On some models, it may print two pages). Toward the top of the config page will be a set of boxes, and the number of boxes that are filled in represents how much toner is left in the bottle or cartridge. For color printers, there will be a different set of boxes for each color. On printers that don't scan or copy, you can also print out a configuration page, but the procedure is slightly different. These printers don't typically have a User Tools button (if they do, you can follow the procedure above) so press the Menu button instead and then scroll through the choices until you come to List/Test Print. Press the OK button, then scroll down to the Config Page option and press OK again. The printer will spit out a page or two of system information, as described above, including the estimated toner levels. On newer model color MFPs (ones with a touch screen that's not monochrome), you can view the toner levels without having to print anything out. When you are looking at the Copy screen, there are two buttons at the bottom of the screen -- System Status and Job List. Touch System Status, and the machine will show the current toner levels, using the filled and empty box representation just like on the config page. (Newer black and white MFPs also have the System Status screen, but for the toner level it will only show if it's okay or low.) Depending on if the option has been enabled or not, some newer Lanier MFPs will even show you the toner levels on the screen without you having to do anything. On these models the toner levels will be represented graphically at the bottom of the copy, print, fax, and scan screens, as either vertical bars (for color machines and some black and white machines) or a horizontal drawing of a toner bottle (for other black and white machines). This representation will change as the toner levels decrease.

Paper misfeeds can be caused by the condition of the paper and how it is loaded. Paper should be stored in a dry, cool place and ensure you ‘fan’ the paper before loading. You can also try printing from another tray. If this is successful, replace all paper in the problem tray with fresh paper from a new ream. Be sure to check the correct paper size is set in the problem tray before you print by adjusting the three ‘fences’ in the paper tray so they are gently touching the sides of the paper.

Lift the lid and clean the thin glass strip of your copier with an alcohol wipe, office wipe or dry cloth.

Select the SCAN icon on the smart operation panel’s (and go to ‘send settings’). Change the setting from jpg/tiff to pdf to jpg/tiff.

If you feel that your printing is too dark, click on ‘printer properties’ under the printer selection drop down menu to access the printer driver on your computer. Select the Detailed Settings tab and under the menu, select Print Quality: Advanced. Click on the details button under Color Balance to open the Color Balance Details: Whole Document pop up window. Adjust the Brightness toggle to increase the brightness.

An SC service code may be caused by something obstructing the finisher or stapling unit. Check there is nothing obstructing the trays. Switch the power off, wait for 30 seconds, then switch the power back on. If the problem still occurs, contact us for further assistance.
