Do you ever have days where it feels like you work for your printers? Although printers do need a little bit of care and regular maintenance, they shouldn't be adding stress to your workplace. Here are a few ways to start putting your printers to work for you and achieving higher levels of security and efficiency!

An Orderly Fleet

No matter what your printer fleet looks like, from the humblest single-function machines to the most powerful multifunction devices, you must be able to rely on every machine. In order to do that, you have to know the machines inside and out. What are their main features, and what extra functions do they come with? What paper works best? What is the best way to connect them to your network and mobile devices? Once you've learned these things about your fleet, it's easy to take that information and put your printers to work for you. Let's get started!

Step 1: Customize.

The first thing you can do to put your printers to work for you instead of the other way around is to customize the user experience. You can change what shows up on the touch screen, get rid of options you never use, and streamline the processes you rely on most often. Work smarter, not harder!

Step 2: Improve security.

If your printers have got you worried about security at every turn, then you have your work cut out for you. All you need to do is focus on improving printer security--including mobile devices, network connections, and good printing habits--so that you can rest easy.

Step 3: Add some creative solutions.

Now that you've got your fleet under tighter management, it's time to reap the rewards. Start by implementing some creative solutions like mobile printing. You can boost efficiency, minimize waste, and better serve your customers--all thanks to a few small changes.
