The One Thing Every Modern Business Needs in Their Office

If we were to ask you one thing your office couldn’t function without, what would you say? Chances are, the humble printer would not be the first thing that jumps to your mind. We live in a highly digital world where almost every aspect of business is conducted online, so we’d understand why a printer wouldn’t be your first answer. However, the printer is not the same piece of technology it once was. It more than just print, scan, copy and fax. The printer has evolved into a multifunction device that meets and exceeds the needs of modern SMEs. Today’s innovative and technologically advanced multifunction device is integral to the long-term success of organisations of all sizes that operate in the current digital landscape. We hope after reading this post, the next time someone asks what is the one thing your office could not function without, you’ll think of your printer.

Why Modern Businesses Still Need a Printer

From automating workflows and improving staff productivity, to data security and beyond, if your business is not utilising the benefits of the latest features in printing technology, now’s the time to get on board. Perhaps one of the greatest features of the modern printer is the security capabilities. According to our 2016 Consumer Insights Survey, 88% of respondents said it is important that the information in their office remains secure. At Fuji Xerox Printers, our multifunction devices offer functions like disc encryption and image overwriting, which is designed to protect data that is stored on the device’s hard disk. Not to mention that all data stored on our multifunction devices is encrypted to ensure documents are protected from unauthorised users. The image overwrite feature ’overwrites’ all traces of any documents stored on the hard disk.

Did You Know Your Printer Could Do That?

While the modern printer still does everything we’ve come to expect from it (think: print, scan, copy and fax), it can also do so much more. Thanks to the latest and greatest digital technologies, the basic printer has been transformed into a powerful multifunction device that streamlines your business, can help cut costs and relieve productivity stresses. One particular feature of our modern multifunction devices is CMC technology, also known as Capture, Monitor, Control. With CMC, you can create business rules to minimise office printing costs. For example, you can set your default device settings to mono and duplex printing. You can also put printing quotas or limits in place to cap and control printing costs.

Bring Your Printing Back In-house

Traditionally, small businesses would outsource printing their marketing materials because they believed the cost of investing in a quality A3 Colour Printer was too high. However, thanks to modern technology, today there are quality A3 Colour Printers perfect for small businesses, that are more affordable than you think. In fact, the cost of in-house colour printing can be as low as $5.00 per day. Here are just some of the benefits of bringing your professional printing back in-house:

•  Produce and deliver on the same day. If you need to produce a quality print-out for a client quickly, you can easily do so when you have an A3 Colour Printer in-house.
• Cut costs. No need to pay mark-up and processing fees of a professional printing agency.
• Increase revenue. The initial investment of an A3 Colour Printer will pay itself off once it starts helping you to win more business.

Take Your Business to New Heights

Running a successful SME can be tough, but the load can be reduced – if you have the right tools. By tools, of course we are talking about the newest and greatest multifunction devices featured in our SMARTSeries range. With capabilities like server-less on-demand printing, automating workflow and turning paper documents digital, our SMARTSeries devices can help take your business to new heights. For example, you know that filing cabinet in your office that’s full to the brim with invoices, bills, receipts, HR documents, contracts and the like? And you know how frustrating it is when there’s a document you urgently need but it’s somewhere in that filing cabinet? Perhaps you’re thinking: why don’t you just scan the files and store them online? Well, in the past, digitising documents was a labour intensive project for employees who could have been using that time to do more efficient and useful tasks. However, modern multifunction devices can digitise documents instantly and retrieve them at the click of the button. The searchable pdf option on the SMARTSeries printers will automatically scan the document so you can “CTRL-F” any document and simply search for it by keyword. So quick, so simple!
