Service Tutorials

You have a presentation scheduled in 30 minutes, and you’ve created some fabulous handouts for your team members so they can follow along.

Your printer can spit out documents in only a few seconds, so you should have plenty of time to print everything you need. You use AirPrint to send your documents from your MacBook to your printer automatically, and then you wait.

When you don’t hear the familiar whirring sound that tells you the printer is working, you decide to check and make sure everything’s going as planned. You walk over to your ominously silent printer…and your heart sinks. 

The network icon is not lit up. Your printer has somehow lost Wi-Fi connection, and you only have 15 minutes to solve the problem and print your documents for the presentation.

Unfortunately, we’ve all been here before.

On average, color prints cost between $0.07-$0.30 per print, a seemingly minuscule price that any business could bear.  

But what happens when you consistently print in color, and the costs add up faster than you realized?  

You’re left with a high printing bill and a puzzled look because you didn’t recognize how much color printing costs could run up your monthly print invoice.   

As a print vendor with noted experience finding and dissecting customers’ print problems, we know how common it is for color overages to contribute to higher-than-normal print expenses.

Have you ever looked at your monthly bank statement and realized there were extra costs you didn’t account for? 

Believe it or not, printing can be an excessive expense for your business that may not be on your radar.  

That’s why a feature like Xerox Standard Accounting is important to have for businesses who want to track their costs to make sure it aligns with their budget, and they aren’t overspending on basic functions like printing and copying.  

As a locally managed print vendor, we’ve dealt with the issue of print management firsthand and can provide expert-driven insight into how to use this feature to help maintain an efficient workplace.  

Xerox Standard Accounting is exclusively for Xerox machines, and since we deal with their printers and supplies directly, we’ve gained an expert’s knowledge of the feature and will be discussing it specifically today.  

Navigating the copier/printer industry and looking for a reliable print vendor can be quite the hassle. You may not know if you’re getting the best deals, the best equipment, or even if you’re working with the best vendor. 

We here at Strategic Technology Partners of Texas have been operating for over 35 years, and we’ve experienced firsthand the difference that a good vendor/customer relationship can have. We also know that understanding the history of your print vendor can help you avoid any confusion, especially if they’ve changed names a couple of times like us.
