How does a paper jogger work? - Office Equipment & Supplies

Working in an office I handle a lot of paper on a regular basis. After getting a paper jogger I can not imagine getting any work done with out it.

Using a paper jogger is very simple, all you have to do is load the paper into the bin. What the jogger does is, is it used a motor to vibrate the paper so that it squares off nice and even around the edges. This is a very simple and brilliant piece of technology it takes advantage of gravity to make the paper perfectly aligned.

I have found that work has been much more efficient since getting a paper jogger. I have been getting less paper jams in the printer and the folding machines has to redo fewer folds. Usually what happens when I don't use the machine is I have to square off the paper by bouncing it on the table but if they aren't perfect, then the folds won't be even leading to more work because I have to redo it or the printer gets jammed and I'll have to open it up to find the jam.

There are special machines that can be used to feed paper into a scanner so that when the paper goes into the scanner all the pages are scanned properly and perfectly. This has been a great tool for scanning many pages really quickly. I have been using this for scanning in my boss' hand written notes so that he can have them saved in his email in case something should happen to the physical copies.

The joggers can be a little pricey but when it comes to saving time and working more efficiently you can't really put a price on saving time.
