Multifunction printer security

Of all the technology in your office, your multifunction printer probably doesn't seem like it belongs in the spotlight. However, these machines are more than capable--and worthy--of your team's respect. Here's how to get more from a multifunction printer!

Making Your Multifunction Printer a Smarter Investment

It's true that a multifunction printer is a great investment--but it can be even better. All you have to do is brush up on a few tips for using your printer in smarter ways, being more mindful about your print solutions, and learning how your machine was intended to function.

Here are some easy examples you can try right now:

  • Review Your Settings

A multifunction printer has tons of settings that can help boost security, reduce waste, and simplify your workflows. If you're not taking advantage of these options, you're missing out--so be sure to read your user's manual or do some research on your specific make and model.

  • Connect To The Cloud

If you're not already utilizing cloud services through your multifunction printer, you're missing out. The cloud helps make printing faster, easier, and more secure--and it supports remote and hybrid work, too.

  • Find New Solutions

Have you tried mobile printing? What about follow-me printing? Solutions like these are much easier to implement when you're using a multifunction printer--which means you could have access to new kinds of efficiency and security.

  • Make Print Rules

A multifunction printer can do a little bit of everything, but that doesn't mean it needs to. Create print rules that help users understand when and how to use certain settings, options, and features so they don't waste supplies (or accidentally introduce a security vulnerability).

Conclusion

If you want to get even more out of a smart investment, the key is to learn how to leverage what you have. That's especially true when it comes to a multifunction printer--which is why it's smart to review your user's manual, brush up on all the latest solutions, and keep finding new ways to get more from your machine.
