Over the years, most companies have accumulated a diverse collection of printers, faxes and copiers. When new systems were added, older systems were moved to individual offices as convenience devices. At first, there seems to be no harm in keeping these older systems in use. However, these older systems may be an unnecessary drain on your IT resources and budget.

The Cost of Older Printers

Consider the costs of keeping older printers in service.

• Older printers consume energy and may not be Energy Star compliant.
• Older printers break down more often, generating help desk calls and service costs.
• Older printers are typically more expensive to operate.
• Older printer drivers may not be compatible with new operating systems.

Benefits of New Technology

In addition to the cost of older printers, there are many benefits to upgrading to newer technology.

• Color
  Many new printers and MFP’s can operate at the fast speed for both color and black & white. This allows you to produce color output in-house at a fraction of the cost of outsourcing. You can also print color marketing materials or forms on demand, further reducing outsourcing costs. 
  
  
• Scanning
  New multifunction printers allow you to scan documents to email addresses and network locations increasing productivity and reducing fax costs.
  
  
• Universal Print Driver
  The HP Universal Print Driver provides a single interface for HP Printers and MFP’s produced after ____. End users appreciate the simplicity and IT managers appreciate the reduced management burden.
  
  
• More Efficient Printing
  Newer printers have faster processors and output engines. Not only will your jobs start printing sooner, they will also be completed faster with a speedier engine. This boosts workgroup productivity.
  
  
• Reduced Power Consumption
  Laser printers and copiers use heat to fuse toner to the paper. Newer systems are Energy Star compliant and consume less energy. Leveraging MFP’s to consolidate printers, copiers and fax machines also reduces your energy consumption.  
  
  
• Full Portfolio of Systems 
  HP’s latest line of systems includes both printers and MFP’s. From the desktop to the workgroup, HP has a full portfolio of systems to serve all of your needs.
