What managed print services include
Managed print services (MPS) means we look after your office's copiers and printers as one fleet instead of one device at a time. Networked devices report meter readings and status automatically, so billing uses actual page counts and supply or service needs show up before they stop your team. The exact scope — which devices, which supplies, response terms and billing — is set out in your written agreement.
Who it suits
Managed print fits offices with several devices across departments or locations, teams that want one bill and one contact for printing, and businesses that want usage reports to control color printing and costs. A single desktop printer rarely needs it.
How it starts
We start by listing your current devices, their meter readings and how each is used. From that we recommend which devices to keep, replace or consolidate, and put the proposed agreement in writing before anything changes.
- List of current printers and copiers, with locations
- Recent meter readings or invoices
- Which devices are owned or leased, and lease end dates
- Who should receive usage reports
Billing and page allowances
Managed print agreements usually bill a base amount plus pages above the included allowance. Unused included pages expire at the end of each month; they don't roll over. Black-and-white and color pages are counted and priced separately.
