You want your office tech to be as modernized and efficient as possible. However, sometimes, this leads to certain tech aspects being ignored instead of upgraded. One of these blindspots is often the printers in the office. Here's how managed print services can lead to that equipment being upgraded so that your printer fleet is cutting edge.
Assessing Your Equipment
Part of your initial assessment with managed print services includes a close-up look at each of the printers in the fleet. This allows for each of them to be checked for maintenance issues, equipment failure, and the make and model of each printer checked and which features it includes. It's often found that a printer fleet has one or more old machines that are not operating with the latest features. These printers are often slow, and because of their age, they have wear and tear to them that can make them even slower. Older models are also less energy-efficient, and they may need repairs.
Upgrading the Fleet
If most of your machines are already up-to-date, there may be just a machine or two that needs to be replaced. When you do this, it makes the entire fleet of printers more efficient. It saves energy, and it allows for faster printing as well as the use of the latest printer functions. All of these functions save time, and the company will also save money on the repairs that older machines so often need. Managed print services can be better used to monitor a fleet that is modern and in good condition. This allows for all of the printers to keep track of what each printer is doing, who is using it, and when maintenance may be needed on it.
Efficiency
Better efficiency means less time is needed for each task. It also means having machines that are in good repair so that there is no waiting to be able to use them. Managed print services help to make each part of the printing process more efficient, saving time and effort for the staff. This includes cutting down on unnecessary printing and making sure that any printer with problems gets repaired.
