Guide to Postel Color Printer Copier Facsimile Certification in Indonesia
A Color Printer Copier Facsimile Combination Machine is a multifunction device that combines several document processing functions in one device, such as printing, copying, and sending or receiving documents through facsimile functions. These devices are commonly used in offices, companies, service centers, and business environments that require integrated document management.
In the context of telecommunications equipment certification in Indonesia, products classified under HS Code 8443.31.31 need to be assessed based on the communication functions and technologies incorporated into the device. This assessment becomes particularly important for products equipped with network connectivity or wireless technologies such as WiFi, Bluetooth, NFC, and other communication connections.
Unlike a conventional printer, a Printer Copier Facsimile combination machine includes an additional communication function through its facsimile feature. Therefore, the technical specifications and device configuration need to be reviewed before determining the applicable certification requirements.
What Is a Color Printer Copier Facsimile Combination Machine?
A Color Printer Copier Facsimile Combination Machine is a multifunction device that combines color document printing, document copying, and facsimile communication functions in a single machine.
The printer function is used to print documents from computers or other devices. The copier function is used to reproduce physical documents, while the facsimile function is used to send and receive documents through a communication network supporting fax services.
Modern devices may also incorporate scanners, automatic document feeders, touchscreen displays, network printing, cloud printing, mobile printing, WiFi, and Bluetooth.
Does a Color Printer Copier Facsimile Require DJID (Postel) Certification?
Products under HS Code 8443.31.31 need to be assessed based on the communication functions and technical configuration incorporated into the device.
For devices with a facsimile function, the assessment needs to consider how the communication function operates and what network is used.
In addition to facsimile functions, some devices may incorporate:
- WiFi.
- Bluetooth.
- Ethernet.
- Wireless LAN.
- NFC.
- Mobile connectivity.
- Cloud connectivity.
- Other communication modules.
When the device incorporates wireless technologies or specific telecommunications functions, certification requirements need to be assessed based on the characteristics of each function.
Printer Copier Facsimile Postel Certification Requirements
The required documentation may include administrative and technical product documents.
Documents generally required may include:
- Company legal documents.
- Business Identification Number (NIB).
- Product brand and model.
- Datasheet.
- User Manual.
- Product photographs.
- Product label and marking photographs.
- Block diagram.
- Facsimile function specifications.
- WiFi specifications, where applicable.
- Bluetooth specifications, where applicable.
- NFC specifications, where applicable.
- Ethernet specifications.
- Communication module information.
- Operating frequency where wireless communication is used.
- Bandwidth.
- Transmission power where RF is used.
- Antenna specifications where applicable.
- Test reports where required.
- Other supporting technical documents.
Complete documentation helps identify all communication functions incorporated into the device.
Color Printer Copier Facsimile Postel Certification Process
The initial stage involves identifying the brand, model, functions, and configuration of the device. The assessment covers not only the printer and copier functions but also the facsimile function and other connectivity features.
The technical specifications are then reviewed. For devices incorporating WiFi or Bluetooth, information such as frequency, bandwidth, transmission power, antenna, and communication module needs to be assessed.
The facsimile function also needs to be analyzed based on the communication system used by the device. This is important to determine the technical requirements applicable to the product configuration.
Where testing is required, the device may undergo testing at a laboratory that meets applicable requirements. Testing may include Radio Frequency (RF), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), and other parameters relevant to the communication technologies used.
Once the documentation and test results meet the applicable requirements, the certification process can proceed until the certificate is issued by the relevant authority.
Printer Copier Facsimile with WiFi
Modern Printer Copier Facsimile devices may use WiFi to connect to a local network without an Ethernet cable.
WiFi connectivity may support:
- Wireless printing.
- Network printing.
- Mobile printing.
- Document transmission from smartphones.
- Network-based device management.
- Cloud printing.
- Office system integration.
When the device incorporates a WiFi module, its specifications need to be reviewed, including WiFi standard, operating frequency, bandwidth, antenna configuration, and transmission power.
Printer Copier Facsimile with Ethernet
In addition to WiFi, multifunction devices commonly include Ethernet connectivity for connection to an office network.
Ethernet is a wired connection used for data communication over a network. It can support network printing, network scanning, device management, and other document functions.
Ethernet specifications should still be included in the product’s technical documentation to describe the overall network configuration of the device.
Printer Copier Facsimile with Bluetooth and NFC
Some modern multifunction devices may also incorporate Bluetooth or NFC.
Bluetooth can be used for short-range connections with smartphones or other devices, while NFC can be used for pairing, authentication, or specific connection functions.
When these technologies are available, information regarding the modules, frequencies, and communication functions needs to be assessed during the certification identification process.
Facsimile Function in Multifunction Devices
The facsimile function allows documents to be sent and received using a fax communication system. In multifunction devices, this function is generally integrated with the scanner and printer, allowing documents to be scanned, transmitted, received, and then printed.
The facsimile configuration needs to be reviewed because the communication method may vary depending on the device type and supporting network.
Therefore, information regarding fax specifications, interfaces, and communication configuration should be prepared as part of the technical documentation.
Benefits of Printer Copier Facsimile Postel Certification
Meeting certification requirements provides benefits for manufacturers, importers, distributors, and multifunction device brand owners.
Key benefits include:
- Supporting compliance with Indonesian telecommunications regulations.
- Supporting product importation.
- Ensuring communication functions meet technical requirements.
- Reducing potential issues during product commercialization.
- Increasing distributor and user confidence.
- Supporting legal product distribution in Indonesia.
