In printing, scanning, copying, and publishing, the new buzzword is combo: combination systems that take the strengths of several pieces of hardware--and sometimes software--and combine them into one. Advances in these technologies can save districts money by cutting the use of staff time, paper, and accessories such as print cartridges. Also, these powerful, multifunction devices can make tabulating and evaluating students' test results easier. One big way that districts can save money is through the use of digital scanners, which reduce paper costs in two ways: One, they can eliminate the need for expensive, custom preprinted forms, since they can be programmed to print their own forms; and two, paper often need not be used at all--scanners can move information digitally through the system without printing it. Sophisticated new software products can reduce the time staff members spend scanning test results, managing paper, or even handling administrative chores. According to one publishing system vendor, a typical school uses an average of 2,500 to 3,500 total pages of paper annually per student in copying and printing. Multiply those numbers by the typical per-page cost for paper alone, and the benefits of better overall document management can be dramatic. Careful choices in printers, scanners, copiers, and the software to manage it all can produce surprising savings in materials costs and staff efficiency.
