Critical if you handle big or rush jobs
Speeds may vary by complexity of print job

Feeds pages through machine without having to manually open/close lid each time.
Great for multiple pages or sets
May not be top priority, if most copies are single pages or odd-sizes(ID cards/ clippings)
Memory
Most copiers include enough memory to run all basic functions
Additional memory is available for specialized features like "scan once/print many" or page numbering

Size: choose a tray big enough to handle volume without constant refills

Digital: More features, better for photos, images
