SYRACUSE, NY, November 1, 2002 - - The Copy Centers has completed the upgrade of its arsenal of black-and-white self-serve copiers at both its Campus and Downtown locations. The new self-serve NP6035 copiers by Canon® offer faster copy speed, wider range of paper stock support, a document feeder with limitless duplexing and sorting capabilities, along with many other enhanced features.

The Copy Centers previous collection of self-serve copiers had served our customers well for the past decade. However, the copiers were showing signs of age. When compared to today's more advanced copiers, the increased maintenance cost, slower copy speed, and limited copy quality of the Xerox copiers has made them obsolete.

Packed with many features and capabilities, the user-friendly touch-screen LCD control panel walks users through any job with a step-by-step guide to all jobs and functions, making the NP6035s easy to use. The Copy Centers has already received positive feedback from its customers on the quality, speed and features of the new NP6035 copiers. The Copy Centers constantly strive to offer the best product and service for its customers. The acquistion of the new self-serve copiers is one more way to achieve and maintain that goal.
