Many people complain about the high costs associated with color printing. The solution is to put some account codes in the copier control panel. Most people don’t even know about these. You may need our help setting it up but essentially it means people have to put it in a pin before they have access to the copier or MFP. This also gives you a way to monitor usage for each employee. Some copiers even allow you to limit who can make color prints or copies. This would be controlled at the server/PC level. Your IT person can set this up. You can contact us and we can steer the IT person in the right direction on how to do it. Setting up account codes at the control panel is the simplest though. Nobody can get a copy without entering their 5 digit code. Some law firms want more than 5 digits. Newer copiers allow up to 8 digits.

The best way to see if this makes sense for you is to call a copier rep since it's copier companies pushing Print Management. That's because the copier business is flat and people buy about 6 printers for each copier. So they took cost per copy maintenance agreements for copiers and adapted it to printers For those new to Print Management here are the main benefits: All printer service and supplies are quoted on a per print basis. You simply call when you need something. Similar to how your copier maintenance agreement works where everything is included except paper. Even though printers don't break often the toner cartridges are expensive and … [Read more...]
