The many educational materials that are needed for students makes it vital for every school to have plenty of printers that work and work quickly. Anytime a printer, or more than one, is out of service, the students don't get the documents they need from the office staff and their teachers. With printer fleet management, you can make the printers in your school run more efficiently and break down far less often.

Saving Money on Printer Repairs

An important part of printer fleet management is providing regular maintenance to each machine. The entire fleet will have regularly scheduled maintenance visits to keep the devices in good condition and prevent major problems. With this maintenance, you can expect your printers to break less often and require fewer repairs. And, if a machine does need repairs, the printer management team can provide this without the hefty expense of a non-contract, one-time-only repair call.

Using Fewer Resources

Part of the management of the fleet includes monitoring the printing statistics. With this monitoring, you can see who is printing documents and how much they are actually printing. This often has the effect of discouraging unnecessary printing among the staff. And when they are printing less, you will pay less on printing supplies like paper and ink. It also means that the school will generate less waste than before. This isn't just a good practice for the school- it's a good environmental example to teach to the students.

Network Printing

Using the most efficient technology of today allows for better efficiency on the job. With fleet management, your entire computer network can be used to print documents. This means that a few teachers don't have to wait for one computer to be free. They will be able to print from any device that is a part of the school's computer network. This allows for faster printing and retrieving of papers, and no teacher time spent waiting for a specific computer. Students can get their papers promptly without any hassles, and teachers won't have to keep putting off getting those papers to them.
