New Fax/Copy Machine Reads Commands by QR Code

C4500it

This looks like an ordinary fax/scanner/printer, but it's actually much smarter than your Average Joe office equipment. By embedding all the necessary information for a particular sender or setting into a QR code, the CP4500it from Ricoh lets you avoid the hassle of messing around with all those often dysfunctional buttons on the conventional machine. Just scan the QR code as the first page of your document, and it will read your settings (file type, contrast/brightness, size, fax #, etc) and automatically do what the QR code tells it to do.

I used to have an office job where I had to send a set number of documents via fax every day to Osaka, Nagoya(?), and Tokyo from NYC. This would have been much more efficient.
