Your office may have a mixture of older and newer printers. However, your printer fleet should be tighter and better under control. With some printer fleet management, you can get rid of machines that may be costing you too much money to continue using them.

Unreliable Performance

When a printer runs poorly, it may be time for an upgrade. The temptation is to hold onto these old machines for as long as possible to maximize the investment in them. However, older machines run more slowly and will make more mistakes. If an employee has to try several times to create a good printed document, the money will be wasted on it. Upgrading to new machines also means the printers will be more energy efficient than older designs.

Security Issues

Not that long ago, printer security was seen in terms of the paper on the printer tray. However, printers are now considered to be a major security point that requires the right measures to keep them from being targeted by cybercriminals. With newer printers, there is end-to-end encryption of every data stream that is sent to them. This keeps your company's sensitive data behind a layer of encryption so that anything stolen from that stream is completely unusable. Newer machines also have a locking tray so that printouts don't release until the sender wants to retrieve them.

Getting Spare Parts

If your printer should have trouble, how would you fix it? With newer machines, it's easy to call in a repair technician to fix the machine or replace broken parts. However, parts for older machines are in short supply. It also may be difficult to find someone who is well-versed in that specific model to fix it. Newer machines can be given regular maintenance as part of your printer fleet management, and there are plenty of parts available if any of your printers should need them.
