Not surprising. The Savin 770 plain paper copier is the most
reliable machine on the market. It's practically jam proof.
That's because of our simple paper path. The shorter the
distance travelled, the less chance for jam ups. Our copies
move a mere twelve inches from beginning to end. In some
Xerox machines a copy is forced to twist and turn over four
feet, very often ending up in the middle.
Another reason so many people switch off Xerox and on to
Savin is the copy itself...Ours are always clear, clean and
needle sharp, regardless of the original, whether you copy
on to one side or two. That's because the Savin 770 has a
mind. An electronic brain reads every original first and
makes whatever adjustments are necessary to give perfect
copies every time.
