Office machines are basically the core of what makes office environments tick. Some of these machines include copiers, fax machines, telephone systems, computer systems, and intercoms among other things. All of these machines have their own function and contribution to what they bring to the office.
Copiers are machines that make identical paper copies of any document fed into its system. This includes pictures and text articles alike. Most copiers today use a special type of technology known as xerography which is a dry process that uses heat to make the copies, though some copiers use ink jet printers, but the standard industrial office-used copier uses this heat process.
Fax machines are a sort of telecommunication that uses technology to transfer copies of specific documents using a telephone network. The fax system basically breaks the document fed into the machine into a series of short code and sends it over the phone line to another fax machine which duplicates this code onto a document.
Computer systems, another common office machine, are a complex network of computers that are linked together for inter and inner departmental use. Normally, the computers are all formatted and structured about the same and are then all networked together, so that every employee has the same computer and may communicate with all the computers in the system. Though, in larger companies, the quality of the computer an employee uses as well as the computer system level of advancement is determined by his or her rank in the company.
Several other miscellaneous things included in the field of office machines are phone systems, which link all the phones in a company or office together for easy access to another employee by an "extension" or an intercom, which is a two way radio implemented on two phones for frequent communication with another employee.
All of these machines fall under the umbrella of office machines, and they all contribute in one way or another to the workings of an office.
