How it's used
Refers specifically to tangible items like printers, photocopiers, and scanners rather than general office supplies like pens or paper. While it sounds professional, it is often used in formal business contexts or when discussing the infrastructure of a workplace. In casual conversation, people might just refer to specific items by name or use the broader term 辦公用品 for smaller supplies.
