Photocopier Task

The Photocopier / Printer / Fax is a multifunction box that we have.

2-sided option
Needed upgrade is a 2-sided print option.

Now that the photocopier is operational, it's time to upgrade it to support printing on both sides of the page (we have some forms that require this). The cost is approximately CAN$160 (including shipping and tax).
