Many copiers now include additional features such as scanning and faxing. The convenience of having a copier that scans documents to send to your computer makes it easier to email documents to clients or companies. Scanning a document so it saves to your computer isn't difficult once you're familiar with your particular copier's functions. With the press of a button, most copiers quickly scan your documents to save or email later.
