What Is Xerox's Robotic Process Automation?

Submitted by Karla Metzler on Thu, 07/13/2023 - 06:19

When Xerox invented the first copier in the twentieth century, it revolutionized the way offices functioned. In only seconds, exact copies of documents could be printed, freeing up hours of work time for employees. 

Tasks that once took hours were simply automated. At the time, this was part of a big change sweeping the world; electric devices were streamlining processes in the home and office to make life simpler for everyone. 

During this big boom, things that are commonplace today, like microwaves, air conditioners, and televisions became available to everyday consumers for the first time, making dinner prep and entertainment faster and more convenient than ever before. Homes and offices suddenly became more effective and more comfortable than could have been imagined only ten years before.

Like filling up your car with gas, replacing your printer toner when it runs out is important because your printer cannot run without toner. 

But the toner replacement process varies between models, which can make it complicated for those who don’t know much about printer maintenance.

The relatively simple process of changing printer toner can be made more complicated and confusing by inexperience or poorly written instruction inserts. Luckily, watching someone else replace printer toner on the same machine or reading a quick how-to article before you try replacing the toner on your own is a great, easy way to save yourself valuable time.

At STPT, we make it our goal to provide quality printing information that is easy to understand, so you know where to go to find answers to your print questions.

Many of us are guilty of ignoring the “low supply” warnings from our machines. 

You’re busy, so it’s natural to let things slide that aren’t immediately relevant to your day-to-day activities. 

Unfortunately, this also means that you probably end up in jams like this one pretty often: a big project is coming up, and you suddenly notice that your printer is alerting you to replace your toner.

You have to replace the printer toner cartridge before you can start your print job. Now that your toner has run out, you have no choice but to replace the cartridge because, otherwise, your machine won’t print. If you can’t print, then you won’t be able to finish your project on time.

That’s where our printer experts at STPT come in. 

We use our printer expertise to help you solve the problem quickly and simply with helpful printer how-to guides like this one.

It can be frustrating when you need to change or replace parts on your printer and don’t know how to do it. 

Every printer model is different, and many printer parts have different configurations, replacement time intervals, and service needs. Even printer toner, a common and necessary component of all Xerox laser printers, varies depending on what model printer you are using.

Like filling up your car with gas, replacing your printer toner when it runs out is important because your printer cannot run without toner. 

But the process varies between models, which makes replacements complicated for those who don’t know much about printer maintenance.

For some, replacing printer toner may be easy to figure out with just a little bit of help. 

For others, the relatively simple process of changing printer toner can be overly complicated and confusing. 

What Is Xerox Total Call Service and How Can It Benefit Your Business?

Everything is chugging along nicely: your service technician just repaired your printer’s belt for you, which was failing and causing printer slowdowns. 

Now, you’re ready to get your printer up and running again so you can stay on top of important business orders.

Except, only two weeks later, your printer is stalled again. 

As more and more projects pile up, you have to wait for your service technician to come back out to your location and replace two additional parts. 

Now, you’re several days behind schedule, and your clients are not happy. Your employees are finding it difficult to complete work tasks, and everyone is falling behind. 

Unfortunately, scenarios like this one sometimes happen when you’re on a basic preventative maintenance plan. 

If your service tech had just checked those other parts when they repaired the printer belt, you could have avoided this problem.

It happens all the time: you have a big project coming up that requires a lot of printing, but you notice that your printer is low on toner a few days beforehand. 

Of course, you’re busy and forget all about it until the day before your project is due to be printed. You try to start printing, and the machine alerts: you need to replace your printer toner now.

Your machine won't work until the toner is replaced, so you have to replace the printer toner cartridge before you can start your print job.

Immediately, you panic. You’re not sure how to replace the printer toner on your Xerox machine, and you don’t have any time to spare to figure it out. 

That’s where our printer experts at STPT come in.

As many workgroups and businesses move into the digital space, the need for cloud-based productivity management grows.
