Sound Masking — A Boon For Call Centers

Posted on March 31, 2009
Categories: Other News.

There is no way to completely avoid the issue of noise at a call center, no matter how the cubicles are arranged or what kind of technology is employed. Office noise will always be present and must be minimized. In addition, personal and sensitive information will be in circulation and must be protected. Background chatter makes people believe that a call center and its clients are not trustworthy. A call center’s layout must be based around employee psychology and ergonomic design.

Cell sensitivity is important at any call center that provides any kind of customer service. This needs to be considered by any call center, whether it is independent or part of a larger corporate structure. This also applies to call centers that are parts of government and military organizations. This risk should also be taken into account for corporate meeting areas, contractors that carry security clearances, and anyone else who deals with sensitive information.

Because of the unique properties of sound, it is able to pass through many materials such as parts of a building. If someone is intent on hearing the conversation of somebody else, they would likely be able to do this using machines specifically for this purpose. Also, privacy can only be kept if the most careful measures are taken to do so.

Attenuating sound is the usual method used to deal with high noise levels. This involves making the sound less intense by some means, most often spreading or absorbing the sounds that are made. Since the majority of firms cannot afford a complex sound attenuation apparatus, they use the more affordable method of sound masking.

Sound masking basically fills in the sound spectrum and makes speech less intelligible in given places. Usually confused with noise cancellation, sound masking will not truly change the frequency of a sound wave. It just covers it up. This technique of ensuring acoustic privacy is often the most effective in regard to the return on the investment.

Call centers can benefit in several ways. Conversations held there are more secure, and the equipment that guarantees this security is not obvious. Sound masking, when properly installed, will greatly improve the enivronment and actually reduce costs. Masking will also make it less likely that clients and customers will overhear personal and sensitive information that is spoken out loud.

Call Centers can greatly benefit from masking, and worker health will also be improved, in that background noise is a stressor. For health of employees, providing a workplace that is protected from extraneous noise is very important. For both employee and customer, then, sound masking is a boon to Call Centers.

Call Centers can have a lot of office noise. If people call into a Call Center and sense or notice background noise and chatter they are more apt to regard the Center as a fly-by-night operation and potential fraud risk. If your Call Center deals with any kind of customer service, you will be open to issues of call sensitivity. Sound masking makes it tougher to identify speech by filling in spaces in the sound spectrum, and doesn’t change the frequency of sound waves. White noise can enhance the overall environment.

It measures only 15″x14″x10″ and will allow you to make the most of the small space that you probably have for peripherals in your home office.

The processor is fairly quick for such an inexpensive model as it features 300MHz. The printer also has a color resolution of 2400dpi x 600dpi which is also in the upper range of what you would expect at this price point. When you are printing detailed images, this is very helpful in processing them quickly.

As far as what to be concerned about, the Xerox only prints about 17ppm but more than likely, in the setting it is meant for, that should be more than fast enough. You would however still like to see a little higher output rate from a laser printer. It also does not have a double sided printing feature which means manually reloading a presentation if you want to utilize both sides of the paper.

It is tough to compare this printer to the competition because of the price, but when you look at the features, its closest completion would be the Samsung CLP-315 and the HP Color LaserJet CP 1215. You will find it pleasing that while they are similar in characteristics, the Xerox Phaser 6110 comes in at almost half the price of its rivals.

For basic image printing, color documents and presentation, this printer will do more than an adequate job. It handles paper up to legal sized documents so it again falls in line with the other competition. It has a capacity of 150 sheets and an output capacity of 100 papers. The Phaser 6110 uses the 6100 toner cartridge and has a monthly duty cycle of just over 24,000 pages.

Depending upon what why you are purchasing this printer will decide if it is the right choice for you. This printer is definitely not meant to crank out papers left and right. Some of the common feedback is that it will overheat if you abuse it. This does not mean that it is a bad printer, but as we stated earlier, it is meant more for home use or a small home business. This not meant for a corporate office.

All in all, you are not getting a bad printer here and you are saving a ton of money with this price point. Xerox has been around forever and copying is obviously their game. You have to think this is how they are able to put this product together so much cheaper than the competition.

The DCP 1000 Toner Cartridge, Multifunction Versatility For The Home Office

Posted on
Categories: Other News.

Home offices often are encumbered with a printer, a scanner and a copier. The individualization of machines takes up space in the office and resources in the computer. The Brother DCP-1000 printer is a multifunction machine that combines printing, copying and scanning abilities in one machine. This multifunction ability allows work space to be freed up and ease of use from the PC.

Many multifunction machines have the ability to work in only one environment; purchasers are forced to choose between machines that will work in only a Windows or Mac environment. The DCP-1000 has both parallel and USB ports allowing both Windows and Mac users to choose it.

The generous 200 sheet paper supply tray provides ample paper for almost any printing need. This supply, coupled with 10 sheets per minute of 600 X 600 dpi printing quality insures a quality end product for almost any printing need. The 30 page automatic document feeder allows the owner the ability to insert multiple documents into the machine and walk away, knowing that their printing job will be completed successfully.

The DCP-1000 will scan a legal, 8 1/2 X 14 document on its 9600 X 9600 dpi interpolated resolution flatbed scanner. Scanning is accomplished through the use of commands on the computer or a single button on the multifunction machine. If the single scan button is utilized the DCP-1000 initiates the scanning program that is resident in the computer.

As with any other printer, toner cartridges eventually run out of DCP Toner Cartridges. There are machines that cause the owner difficulty in replacing the DCP 1000 Toner Cartridge. Brother has eliminated that difficulty making the DCP-1000 one of the easiest machines to replace toner cartridges available. Brother has included a “low toner” indicator. This LED will come on when the toner in the cartridge becomes low. Many users have found that when this light comes on, the printer still has enough toner to print over 100 pages. These owners use the “low toner” indicator as a reminder to purchase a new toner cartridge.

Owners of printers and copiers are well familiar with paper jams. Annoying paper jams cost the owner both time and money. Brother has improved the method of moving paper through the machine virtually eliminating paper jams. The owner no longer has to sit and watch the machine waiting for the paper to jam. Elimination of this worrisome problem allows the home office to run smoother and more effectively.

The DCP-1000 provides an adequate resolution for most applications. Copying photographs is adequate for most situations however the scan resolution might not be high enough to allow the archival of a photographic collection. However given the economy of the DCP-1000, this general purpose machine will provide adequate use for most applications.

The Brother DCP-1000 is a versatile machine that is economical to purchase. Combined with the low price of DCP 1000 Toner Cartridge, the price per page cost is among the lowest among laser printers. The average user will find the DCP Toner Cartridges, low cost and ease of use of the DCP-1000 a most welcome addition to the home office.
