If your Xerox AltaLink B8200 Series copier is displaying a "Replace Drum" message or your print quality has started to decline, you may be wondering whether replacing the drum is something you can do yourself. The answer is yes. However, it's important to do it carefully.

Unlike toner replacement, a drum is a more critical imaging component inside your copier. Improper handling can affect print quality or even damage the new drum. That's why following the correct procedure matters.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we've serviced thousands of Xerox printers and copiers throughout North Texas over the last 40+ years. Drum replacements are a routine part of maintaining production and office devices, and our technicians have performed this procedure countless times.

Page coverage is one of the most important printing concepts most people have never heard of.

If you've ever purchased a toner cartridge that claimed it could print thousands of pages, only to find yourself replacing it much sooner than expected, page coverage is often the reason why.

The amount of toner or ink used on each page directly affects how long your supplies last, how much your printing costs, and whether the cartridge yield listed on the box is realistic for your how you actually print.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we've found that one of the most common sources of confusion is page coverage and its role in toner consumption.

In this guide, we'll explain what page coverage is, what 5% page coverage means, what it actually looks like, and why understanding it can help you make smarter printing decisions.

Following Xerox's acquisition of Lexmark, businesses now have access to two enterprise office printer portfolios under one umbrella: the Xerox AltaLink 8200 Series and the Lexmark 9-Series.

Both offer modern touchscreen interfaces, advanced security features, cloud-connected workflows, finishing options, and support for many of the same Xerox solutions. Both are designed for medium-to-large workgroups and can handle demanding office environments.

So what separates them?

As a Xerox and Lexmark partner with nearly 40 years of experience helping organizations select the right office technology, we've spent considerable time evaluating both platforms. While there is significant overlap between the two, each family has strengths that make it a better fit for certain types of organizations.

Office productivity doesn’t just involve computers, software, or cloud storage. Documents are still a major part of how many businesses operate, and you need a printer to print them out.

And since documents are still such a critical part of business operations, why manage them with multiple devices when one machine can often do the job?

If you've been shopping for a printer for your business, school, healthcare practice, or organization, you've probably come across the terms all-in-one printer and multifunction printer (MFP). While these devices are extremely common, many buyers still aren’t sure what they do, how they differ from a standard printer, or whether they're worth the investment.

In this guide, we'll use our expertise on printers to explain exactly what an all-in-one printer is, how it works, who it's best for, and whether it's the right fit for your business.
