Your team should be able to depend on your copiers to help them accomplish daily tasks more efficiently. If your copiers are out-of-date, in need of maintenance, or prone to frequent paper jams, they’re a roadblock to productivity. Here are some red flags signifying that it’s time to call for help.

Your copiers don’t include the latest features.

Like most technologies, your copiers should be replaced every five to seven years or so. If you’ve waited longer than that to upgrade, you’re missing out on some valuable features that could transform your businesses processes. For example:

1. Print security solutions have come a long way in the last few years. If you’re still struggling with vulnerabilities in your print infrastructure, new copiers can help correct these and other issues. Leading manufacturers have developed solutions like pull printing, user authentications, hard drive overwrites, and data encryption to enhance security and compliance capabilities throughout your print environment.
2. Document capture and management solutions are essential tools to take your business from outdated paper-based processes to efficient digital alternatives. You’ll waste less time searching for documents, improve security, and give employees anytime/anywhere access to information.
3. Paper and energy saving features help your business save money and reduce your carbon footprint. If your outdated copiers don’t include green solutions, you’re paying too much for printing and wasting valuable resources.

Downtime is the norm.

No matter what’s causing it—from paper jams and error codes to worn-out parts—downtime shouldn’t be a regular occurrence. With a Managed Print Services partnership, remote monitoring and preventative maintenance are all a part of the plan. Instead of waiting for the next catastrophic failure, expert technicians will take a proactive approach to catch problems before they cause major headaches.
