Office Equipment

If you’ve purchased, or plan to purchase, a Xerox machine and want to include managed print services, then you will need to become familiar with the Xerox Device Agent (XDA). 

The XDA is essential to understand if you want to enable services like automatic shipments of supplies, such as toner or ink cartridges, and receive detailed reports on usage levels. 

But what exactly is the XDA? And how do you install it on your network and add your devices to it?  

You would be surprised at how much owning a printer/copier could cost you. 

It’s not just for the machine itself, or the supplies that it takes to run efficiently. Buried beneath the surface are obscure, seemingly minuscule, costs that may catch you off guard if you’re not aware of them. 

Being in the printer industry for over 35 years has taught us a lot of things, but maybe the most noteworthy of them all is how much printing costs can accrue on a company’s annual budget. 

If you’ve decided to lease a printer from a vendor and are formulating your contract, you will likely hear some iteration of this question at some point: “Would you like to have impressions included, and if so, how many?”  

It’s probable, if you’re like most customers, that you are unfamiliar with what impressions included mean in a contract or lease agreement and how important they are.    

This is precisely the reason we want to use our experience as a long-time local print vendor to help you understand what impressions included mean and why it’s critical to include the right amount in your contract.    

​

Office security is like a house, with its many potential points of intrusion.     

Although you may have ample security at the front door, you might unknowingly have left the back window open, which precipitated a break-in just when you thought you had all your bases covered.   

Your printer could be the back window that a hacker infiltrates, resulting in a network invasion that cripples business processes and potentially exposes sensitive data.     

There are many things to consider when purchasing a printer.  

Some are obvious, like print volume and cost, and some are more inconspicuous, like space and electrical requirements, which is what we will be covering today.    

As a long-time local print vendor, we’ve seen numerous cases of customers that purchased a printer and thought they had everything in order, only to realize on delivery day that the machine they bought doesn’t fit in their office or doesn’t have the correct electrical outlet.
