The long -awaited cashless formation stone is Famima, "Looking for the next 10 years.Explain that it is a renewal.As paperless and service digitization progresses, how will the functions required for copy machines change?I would like to see the latest copier circumstances from the new machine.

The size of the screen increases the amount of menu information and improves operability

The biggest feature of the latest multi -copy machine is "enlarged screen". A 10 -inch size that was previously built into the copy machine body has moved to the side of the device with a change machine or a photo printer. The enlargement of the screen has improved visibility, making it easier to check the screen, such as print previews. In addition, the number of menu items displayed at one time increases, eliminating the need to switch the screen many times due to the selection of items, and the operability has been improved. This large display can also change the angle. For example, it is easier for wheelchair users to operate and confirm by setting up a screen. Many people say, "Recently, there have been more opportunities to print at convenience stores without using printers at home." So is myself. As the paperless is progressing at home and in the office, most of the opportunities to print on paper are still "administrative -related documents" where paper -based exchanges are still strong. In that case, the number of people who think that "sometimes needed printing to convenience stores is lower to running costs" is a major change in the market in the last 10 years.

Changes in society also appear in the usage data of the copier

FamilyMart's investigation has also changed society. According to FamilyMart, the print using media such as USB memory has been slightly reduced, but online prints increase by about 20 % per year, photo prints are 30 to 40 % compared to 2020, and administrative services are 150 to 170. It is said that % are growing. Due to the effects of the corona, local governments such as city halls and ward offices have guided them to obtain copies of resident cards in convenience stores, but the frequency of use of convenience stores in terms of "printing on paper". It seems that it is going up. However, the biggest demand for copier is the normal "copy". Other print services are "not as good as copying, but are currently growing rapidly." The new multi -copy machine has a variety of functions, but the most popular is the content service. Various popular contents such as idols and characters posters and bromide are available and can be printed. This mechanism itself is operated by Sharp, which delivers the copy machine itself, but has a content service called Famima Print unique to FamilyMart, and is in demand. With the new machine, the L -and or L2 version can be printed, and the printed content and photos can be sealed.
