Print Optimization Strategies: Balanced Deployment

Business processes depend on reliable document output devices. The same company that produces the world’s most reliable laser printer now produces a cost-effective line of Multifunction Systems that print, copy, scan and fax.

Redundancy of Devices

Anyone who has ever walked into an office has seen a counter with a printer, copier and fax machine sitting side by side. This duplication of devices creates unnecessary expenses, increases power consumption, wastes office space and confuses end users.

A Sensible Balance

Talk to a copier company and they’ll insist that you should replace your printers with expensive copier-based Multifunction Systems. Talk to a printer company and they’ll recommend you deploy desktop printers. The reality is that different environments have different applications. The most cost-effective way to maximize productivity is with a balanced deployment of printers and Multifunction Systems.

Maximize Productivity and Minimize Costs

Common sense dictates that replacing every laser printer with departmental multifunction systems would impact both productivity and morale. Research has shown that a strategy that employs both multifunction systems and single function devices (printers, fax machines and scanners) can yield both cost savings and productivity improvements.
