ASCII TEAM LEADERS Even if you are going to work now ... such a home worker rediscover the value of the multifunction device

Due to the daily remote work, various tasks have shifted to the cloud.On the other hand, the use of paper has decreased steadily, but it has not disappeared.A hybrid of digital and paper.In such a daily life, it is actually a multifunction machine that realizes convenience again.

Remote work aimed at suppressing corona virus infection has finally entered the third year.In the column of "Postcorona's office workers, I learned from" housewives "and" freelance "", which I wrote when I started working at home, was complaining that the management of housework, schedule, and physical condition was quite difficult, but as expected.I'm used to it.I can do daily housework, and exercise and work are not bad (true).

I understand that there are not many remote work groups in the world.As for the skin sensation, isn't it quite back to the office except for IT companies?Many companies have tried remote work, but eventually reduced productivity, managed their limits, and returned to the office.Nevertheless, as a company employee who has been working at home like me, remote work is no longer a new.The honest impression is, "Even if you say you're going to work now ...".

Well, what are the three kinds of sacred treasures in such remote work?Not only PCs, WiFi, Internet connection, but also convenient things include large monitors and conference headsets.And it is a multifunction machine that personally rediscovered the value.Before Corona's evil, he was printing out and scanning with a large multifunction device in the company, but if he stopped going to the company, his home complex would be a big success.

The other day, an acquaintance's private business operator posted on SNS, saying, "It's hard to go to a convenience store every time for printing," and there was a lot of comments that "I should buy a multifunction machine."There was a surprise that everyone went to a convenience store for printing, but the recent convenience store has a smartphone app, and it is an expensive multifunction machine, so the photo printing is beautiful.However, considering the cost and the hassle, I think it would be more convenient to have a multifunction machine at home.And, like a sole proprietor, a salaried worker who needs office equipment at home is also "I just need to buy a multifunction device."

I want the cloud scan function to be convenient for inconvenience calls and inexpensive inks

My home loves Brother's personal multifunction devices.As the name suggests, it is a device that can only use one car, fax, print, scan, etc., but it is nice that it is compact and stable.In the past, children had many uses to copy homework and school submits, but I was working from home all day, and the frequency of use suddenly increased.

The scan function is useful for multifunction machines.Paperlessness has progressed due to the corona evil, but it is not surprising that the paper has completely disappeared.There are a few real events and interviews, and when so, there are more opportunities to scan materials distributed.Of course, it is often distributed by PDF later, but sometimes I want to keep it as a memo.In everyday life, there are still many paper distributed on paper, such as condominium management union materials, schools and cram school prints.There are quite a lot of demand for paper materials at home.

Until now, scanning was imported into a PC, but recent multifunction machines are directly connected to the cloud.In the case of a brother, if you register your account, you can directly throw the scan data into Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc. (I was impressed by the mechanism that allows you to register a cloud account with only multifunctional numerical operations).I wasn't conscious at all before, but it was incredibly convenient.It may be a convenient function rediscovered by remote work.

Convenient cloud scan function

On the other hand, there are places where multifunction devices want to improve on the premise of remote work.For example, enhancing telephone functions.When I work at home, I realize that there are so many business calls.For this reason, we want to respond to annoying calls, such as refusing a specific phone number, even with the simple telephone function of the multifunction device.

The rest is cheap ink.In my case, cloud and paperlessness have progressed, and the chances of printing have decreased significantly, but I want to see the calibration in the paper publication era.Of course, if you want to prepare materials for the number of people at home in a sales job, some people may be concerned about printing costs.At present, there should be few companies that will be available for consumable allowances up to printing costs, so I would like to ask for as cheap ink as possible.Many recent ink cartridges are equipped with chips, but they also have a shortage of semiconductors.It is a bit worrisome whether it will lead to high cost and shortage of items, including the multifunction device and ink.
