Multifunctional evaluation of printing technology is mostly replacing all the single functional operating printers in most of the middle to large size organizations. Where management were using individual machines each for printing or copying purpose, the multifunctional technology implemented in the latest machines enables the end users to perform a set of tasks ranging from printing, copying, scanning and fax.
MFPs are currently a common choice for business owners focusing on saving budget when installing organizational equipment. Consolidating more features into single machine improves internal work flow and reduce assets cost. Instead of installing specific machines for individual tasks, a MFP can effectively perform the whole of an organizational operation.
Consideration of a MFP for a business is also an important approach because that needs to be working smooth with all the existing resources of the firm. All the printing companies in Dubai are prioritizing machines that are totally up and active with no additional setup and installation to the current resources in use. Following are some of the main points one have to focus on while replacing existing machines with MFPs.
Proper planning for identification of requirements is required before installing such type of new technology. Requirements might be something like simplifying workflow, use of machines beyond printing and scanning like management of documents and reducing paper consumption. One also needs to have a survey of the amount of daily operations like copy, print, scan and fax. The numbers of end users that will besharing the device together are also one of the basic requirements that need to be considered before selection.
Connectivity of Multi-Functional printers with the existing network needs to be simple. Considering such type of deployment mechanism is an important approach to a successful integration of MFP. The new machine might require training, so that need to be of a minimal amount. If there require any wizard or software to guide for the installation and troubleshooting purpose, that need to be within the scope of an internal IT expert.
The multitasking printer must need to be a multitasking solution in fact. All the services it will provide can easily be accessible by users. If other processes are in progress, how much time it will take to be in an idle state again for further tasks to perform. The time it will take to perform another process and task must be minimal.
It is the most important feature of a MFP that it must be able to provide high level of security to the business. However, it must be considered as well, that if one’s security needs change after some time, the MFP must be flexible enough to support those security options as well.
Printing companies in Dubai usually require the combination of their MFPs with simple software applications that turn all their paper documents into electronic and digital format for sending out to multiple destinations. Therefore they perform proper survey and consider their overall requirements and then match the output of new MFPs with those. Once they successfully observe the outcome of their survey, they consider it to be the right decision for their business.
