Three Reasons to Swap Your Old Devices for a Multifunction Printer

Last Updated on June 16, 2020 by Christian Ralph

An outdated device can greatly slow down productivity in your workplace.

If you’ve noticed that your device is running slower than it used to, and in turn, is resulting in less work being produced in your office, it may be time to consider swapping your printer for something more modern and time efficient.

An all in one printer is one of the best investments on the market in terms of improving your business’ overall productivity. However, this is not the only benefit they can have.

Read on to discover three reasons why you should trade in your old device for a multifunction printer (MFP):

Efficiency

One of the main reasons why an MFP is the best printer choice for your business, is that they do a lot more than just print. They can copy, scan and usually fax. Xerox devices, such as the WorkCentre 6515DN, can do all four functions.

So, you can say goodbye to your scanner and photocopier, and in some cases fax machines too, because with an MFP all these tasks can be performed from one place, by one device. This will instantly cut down queues for separate devices, as your staff can do anything they need from a new MFP machine in your office.

An added bonus of only requiring one device is that it will greatly reduce the amount of energy used in your office, as there would be no need to constantly run separate devices.

Once an MFP has taken pride of place in your office, you’ll notice how much extra floorspace you have! Not only that, you can reduce the number of wires and clutter, which will again increase productivity and create a better working atmosphere.

Security

If security is a major priority within your business then a MFP could be the perfect device for you.

There are specific multifunction models of HP printers that have been released with added security features to help keep your data private and inaccessible to prying eyes. Devices such as the HP Colour LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdn laser printer can detect and block hackers.

The printer constantly monitors its operations, and if a hacker manages to compromise its defences through a network connection, the printer will instantly reboot into a safe offline mode and notify the chosen IT official.

In an era of rising cyber-attacks, an added layer of security is always welcomed, therefore these MFPs may be a wise investment.

Up and coming market

The many benefits that multifunction printers offer to businesses have not gone unnoticed.

The MFP market is expected to vastly grow due to their positive impact on businesses.
This means that other devices are becoming second favourite for many businesses. To avoid your business ending up outdated and stuck in the past, and to beat rising MFP costs, it could be in your best interests to swap your old devices for an all in one printer sooner rather than later.
