Back-to-School Print Management Tips
As back-to-school season approaches, optimizing your school’s print management can make a big difference. In fact, schools can save up to 30% on printing costs by improving their printing management. This not only saves time and money but also allows schools to focus on what truly matters—delivering quality education. Toshiba is here to help streamline your school’s printing needs with smart, cost-effective solutions and tips. Here’s how you can make the most out of your printing setup this year.
1. Assess your school’s printing needs.
Start by evaluating your school’s current printing setup. How many printers and copiers are in use? Are they meeting the demands of teachers, students, and administrative staff? Toshiba offers a range of tools and services to help you assess your printing needs accurately. With Toshiba’s output management solutions, you can get a clear picture of your printing environment and identify areas for improvement.
2. Invest in high-quality, cost-effective supplies.
Quality matters, especially when it comes to printing. Toshiba’s high-quality toner and printer supplies are made right here in the USA, ensuring that you get reliable performance and vibrant prints every time. High-quality supplies help prevent issues such as smudging or paper jams, which can be disruptive in a busy school environment. Plus, by using Toshiba’s premium supplies, you’re investing in long-lasting performance that can save money in the long run.
3. Embrace efficiency with modern devices.
Upgrading your multifunction printers can significantly boost efficiency. Toshiba’s latest models are designed to handle high volumes of printing and copying while maintaining exceptional quality. With features like double-sided printing, fast processing speeds, and user-friendly interfaces, these devices can enhance productivity and reduce the time spent managing print jobs.
4. Implement a smart printing strategy.
To avoid unnecessary expenses and reduce waste, consider implementing a smart printing strategy. Toshiba’s Managed Print Services (MPS) can help you optimize your print environment by managing everything from device maintenance to supply replenishment. By setting print policies, such as defaulting to double-sided printing or restricting color printing, you can reduce costs and environmental impact.
5. Take advantage of easy recycling programs.
Sustainability is a key concern for many schools. Toshiba’s recycling program makes it easy to dispose of used toner cartridges and other consumables in an eco-friendly manner. Simply drop your used items into the provided receptacles, and Toshiba will handle the rest. This not only helps your school stay green but also ensures compliance with environmental regulations.
6. Plan for maintenance and support.
Regular maintenance is essential to keep your printers and copiers running smoothly. Toshiba offers comprehensive support services to ensure that your devices are always in top condition. From routine maintenance to quick repairs, having reliable support can prevent unexpected downtime and keep your school’s printing operations running without a hitch.
7. Educate staff and students.
Finally, make sure that staff and students are aware of the best practices for using the school’s printing resources. Educating them on how to properly use and maintain the equipment can help prevent issues and promote a more efficient printing environment.
By following these tips and leveraging Toshiba’s solutions, your school can enjoy a streamlined, cost-effective printing experience that supports the educational mission. As you prepare for the new academic year, remember that efficient printing is just one piece of the puzzle. With the right tools and strategies in place, you’ll be well-equipped to tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Happy back-to-school season from Toshiba!
