“Why won’t my printer just print what I want?”

If you’ve ever said this out loud (or in frustration to your printer), you’re not alone. Office printers are supposed to make life easier, but when it comes to dealing with paper jams, wrong media types, or the dreaded “held for resources” message, it can feel like they have a mind of their own.

But here’s the good news: the issue might not be your printer—it might just be the settings. Specifically, your printer might be media-driven, and understanding what that means can save you a lot of headaches.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we deal with printers daily, optimizing print environments for businesses just like yours. We’ve seen (and fixed) almost every printer problem under the sun, and one common source of confusion is understanding media-driven printers.

 Digital printing has come a long way. It was once seen as a cheaper but lower-quality option compared to offset printing. Thanks to advances in technology, digital printing is now just as good. However, many organizations and businesses still don’t realize the benefits of digital printing.

As a Xerox vendor in the DFW area, we’ve partnered with many companies looking for production-style printers but are hesitant to invest in expensive offset printers. That’s where Xerox’s new digital printing technology comes in.

In this article, we’ll go over what Xerox has to offer as it pertains to digital printing equipment, technology, and software.
