History

• After the establishment, Totalia started its cooperation with Lagomarsino Company in Italy and started to import the first calculating machines. It is also worth mentioning that these primary calculating machines were mechanical and could just do the four main actions and would print the result on a paper band.

• In 1972, Totalia Company were successful to get the agency from Duplo International Company from Japan and at the same time started to import the first duplicator machines. It is also worth mentioning that these duplicator machines were working quite simple in a very primary way in the production and these machines were working with alcohol.

In 1973, as Totalia was working with Duplo International Company from Japan, Totalia Company started importing the first stencil printers and from that time, these printers were welcomed and used in schools and offices.

It is worth mentioning that those days, the stencil printers were going their first production stages, so that for printing and duplicating a transcript, you were supposed to transfer a copy of the transcript on a specific paper, called stencil paper, (something like master copy paper in nowadays photocopy machines) and for that matter, the machine’s operator had to write his requisite transcript with a specific pen on a stencil paper and thereby, there would be some holes and furrow for the movement of the ink on the paper. Then, the operator would twist the paper around the copy drum of the machine with his hand so that meantime, the ink would pass through the stencil paper layer and transfer to the paper.

In 1973, and along with the initial aim of the company in the supply of the calculating equipment, Totalia Company started to provide and sell cash register, made by RODBEL from America. Those days, most of the salesmen were still using traditional abacuses for calculating and the addition of sales items, therefore these machines were highly welcomed and were used in big markets at first.

In 1976, Totalia Company was successful to get the agency from MDC Factory from America and started to import photocopy machines.

In the past, all of the action for collating papers were done manually by an operator and of course, the quality and the speed of the action was dependent on the skill and the accuracy of operators; and that would vary at different times of the work.

More than the high speed of these machines, Duplo’s collators would fit in a little space because of their design which is vertical, and that would be a great saving in space. Moreover, these machines would be a great replace for sever workers that used to collating the papers and in any time of the work would have a very high speed and accuracy without any change.
