If you don’t replace your printer toner, then you can’t print important work documents on time.  

Unfortunately, you don’t know how to change your printer toner.

We’ve all been here before. It isn’t easy to be in a position where you don’t know how to do something that is vital to your job’s operation.

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.

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

Toner is an important part of the printing process. If your toner isn’t replaced on time, then the quality of your prints can be impacted, and you may end up giving yourself more work to do when you’re already on a tight deadline.

Although they may seem confusing, cloud-based management platforms are vital for companies and workgroups because they allow users to access and transform information at any time from multiple devices.

The benefits of cloud-based document management and productivity platforms are numerous: workflow automation protocols, constant information accessibility, and enhanced security features are made available to all your team members—no matter where they are located. And, as your team grows, your cloud-based document platform grows with you, and using cloud-based productivity platforms is especially helpful for companies or work groups that are embracing remote and flexible work options. 

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

Xerox’s answer to this growing need is Xerox Workflow Central, a productivity app that allows users to optimize document conversion.

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.

What Is Lead Time and Why Is It Important When Purchasing a Printer?

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

The Covid-19 pandemic significantly impacted lead times around the world, and according to a recent survey, 57% of companies reported that the pandemic caused serious disruptions to their supply chains. 

As the pandemic ends and life returns to normal, global supply chains continue to reflect many of the shipping and stock issues that began at the height of the pandemic in 2020. 

Although supply chains continue to show improvement, deliveries still may be slow to arrive post pandemic. This can be a major issue for companies and small businesses that need to keep print production fast paced to turn a profit.

We want to make sure you have all the information you need to understand supply chain management and lead time so that you can take the right steps to receive important orders at the right time.
