Printer Fleet Management

Xerox Workflow Central is a versatile, cloud-based, platform built for modern workgroups in the digital space. 

Is it the right fit for you, though? 

As a Xerox Platinum Solutions Partner, it is our job to stay on top of the different features offered by the brand that can help you achieve a better overall print environment. 

One of those is the Xerox Workflow Central platform which can be found in the Xerox App Gallery. It has plenty of benefits, but also some notable cons, including the fact that you must pay a monthly subscription for its features.  

Xerox has a software solution, called Xerox Smart Start, that could be your answer if you’re looking to download a printer driver to complete tasks, like printing and scanning, on your printer. 

However, it can be a bit complicated, at least at first, to install. You also might not be fully aware of what Xerox Smart Start is and how it works. 

We’re here to help. As a Xerox Platinum Solutions Partner, we are equipped with the knowledge to help you learn everything you need to know about Xerox Smart Start. 

Print management software can be helpful to a lot of companies that want to cut back on their printing expenses. 

Many providers offer print management software, and two of the more prominent ones are Y-Soft and PaperCut.  

Which one should you use? What are the similarities and differences between the two? 

We’ve been a printer/copier company for almost 40 years and have dealt extensively with both Y-Soft and PaperCut and want to use that insight to provide a comparison between the two so you can see which one might be right for you. 

If you’ve ever looked at a printer/copier online, you’re likely familiar with the term “duty cycle.” 

But what does a machine’s duty cycle mean and why is it important? 

These are the types of questions we will use our almost 40 years of industry expertise as a print vendor to answer today because duty cycle is one of the key indicators you need to pay attention to before purchasing a new office machine.  

If you forego a printer’s monthly duty cycle and just buy whichever machine you can find easily, you may be subjecting yourself to more service issues down the road---something we will cover later on in this blog.  

What are printer drivers and why are they important to your printer’s daily operation? 

If you’re like most people, you probably don’t know what a printer driver is and what role they play in the functioning of a printer/copier. 

But printer drivers do play an essential role in the performance of your office machine and could end up being the root of the problem if your printer is malfunctioning. 

There are different types of printer drivers you can get, and most will require updates at certain points to keep up with the machine’s software.
