The only advantage to an inkjet copier is its initial cost, they practically give them to you so you will buy their tiny expensive ink cartridges.  Solid ink technology is somewhat similar to inkjet but the image quality is far superior and the cost is less per page.

Duplex

Duplex is the ability to do double sided prints (Front and Back). Duplex can reduce the cost of paper  by utilizing both sides of the paper. If duplex is a feature you are interested in you need a Reversing Automatic Document Feeder . If you have a sheet of paper with print on both sides, the RADF will scan  both sides.

Multifunction

Almost all digital copier come standard with some multifunction capabilities. Usually they will come with the ability to copy and print and sometimes  scan and fax. Other options can usually be added to allow the digital copy machine to fax, fax to email, internet fax, network scan, and network print. While some of these options can be expensive, businesses who are limited on space may want to take advantage of the multifunction capabilities.

Paper Supply

Paper capacity is also important.  If your business does a large volume of letter and legal sized copying, a second paper drawer is recommended. Additional paper drawer vary in size and capacity. A universal paper tray is user adjustable for the desired paper size.

11 X 17 also referred to as ledger size is only available on higher priced equipment, if you need this ability, please check with the sales agent to verify this feature. Some copiers have the ability to scan ledger size but only copy up to legal size. 

Cost Per Copy

Is often misleading to the consumer. Manufactures rate machines using different coverage areas which greatly affects toner yield.  Most manufactures use about 5% coverage area to rate toner yield, so if normally run pages with 15% page coverage your toner cost is tripled.  Drum, developer, oil, and fuser cartridges are  usually rated by a number of pages printed.  Dry toner machines are generally much cheaper to operate than inkjet systems.
