This system offers a number of advantages to both the company and its employees. ## Proactive Maintenance on Printers With managed print services, you don't rely on reactive printer services that only step in when something is wrong. The [printers](https://www.goadvanced.com/multifunction-printers) are monitored for performance issues so that any problems can be taken care of before they get worse. In addition, the items that have to be restocked, such as paper and ink, are taken care of as needed so that they don't run out and result in any downtime. This is a major advantage that can help keep productivity higher and repair costs lower. ## Remote Management Managed print services give you many ways to stay on top if how the printers are being used. This remote management capability allows for many aspects of the printers to be seen, including how often it is being used. This advantage allows you to monitor the machines for any overuse of them. When a policy is set into place for printer usage, it allows for employees to think twice about whether items really need to be printed, and you can check up on the numbers from anywhere at all. ## Higher Costs But Greater Productivity   ## New Tasks to Learn Because managed print services will be a new system introduced into the office, there will be a learning curve for them. Employees will have to get used to thinking twice about their printing projects. Management will have to learn how to run the remote management features and to get into the habit of checking the stats regularly. Many offices are busy places that often have little time to learn new systems. However, this system is a quick one to learn, and it is meant to save time and money over the long term. Employees often think more about whether they need to print something under this system, and opting out of unnecessary printing will save them time. They will also save time when they don't have to wait for a copier to be restocked in order to use it.
