There are few things that can put your business further behind the competition than using obsolete technology. However, managed print services can let you take advantage of the latest printing technology to make your copiers, printers, and your entire office, more productive and efficient. Just as computer technology is growing exponentially, printer tech is also goring and thriving to deliver better speed, more memory and better print quality with each generation.
Monitoring Your Machines
With managed print services, the laser printers in the office are monitored for an array of statistics. How long the printer is used and how many pages were printed with it are easy stats to get with these services. And, you can see who is doing the printing via separate passwords for everyone in the office. This type of tech places old-school printers in the past where they belong so that the new ones can deliver precise statistics that help immensely with print costs and office efficiency. As part of the monitoring of the printers, the IT professionals take notice whenever there is malware on the machine, and they remove it. Printers, like the computers in your network, can be susceptible to hackers and lost data in some cases, making this monitoring service vital in today's era of super hackers.
The Latest Models on the Market
In addition to the high level of connectivity that new printers models have, they also get more powerful with each printer generation. A more powerful printer can print faster and handle more tasks than older models. If you have an older model, it may be time to sell yours to buy printers with the latest tech. An easier way to regularly get the latest printer on the market is to lease the printers and use print management services with them. This allows for a wide range of services to be handled for you, including ordering and delivering paper and ink, so that your new, high-tech printer gets maintained and stays in great condition.
Upgrade and Update
Like computers, today's printers come with regular updates and upgrades that need to be integrated into the software. Many of these changes fix problems that have been discovered in the software. Others fix newly found security risks that hackers have begun to target. Still, other updates improve the printer's function and features for better efficiency. Having managed print services makes it easy to be aware of the updates and to have them automatically applied to the printer as they become available. Newly updated machines often have increased capabilities, and they may even print at a faster rate. Printer technology is moving so fast that you can expect to have helpful upgrades at least twice a year.
