FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answering common questions about Managed Print Service.

What are managed print services?

Managed print services are outsourced services that assess, supply, support, monitor and improve an organisation’s print environment. They typically cover devices, maintenance, consumables, support, reporting and recommendations to improve efficiency and reduce disruption.

What is included in a managed print service?

A managed print service can include fleet assessment, device deployment, service desk support, remote monitoring, preventive maintenance, automated supplies replenishment, governance reporting and lifecycle optimisation. The exact scope depends on whether the customer needs support only, ongoing management or a more outcome-led service.

How can managed print services reduce costs?

Managed print services help reduce avoidable costs by right-sizing fleets, reducing downtime, automating supplies, improving service efficiency and giving better visibility into usage and underused devices. They also help internal IT teams spend less time on day-to-day print issues.

Are managed print services suitable for multi-site and hybrid workplaces?

Yes. Managed print services are well suited to organisations that need consistent service levels across different offices, user groups and workstyles. The presentation source also supports a broader workplace experience angle, which is relevant where print must work reliably across office-based and hybrid environments.

How do managed print services improve the user experience?

They improve the user experience by reducing disruption, keeping devices available, matching services more closely to how people work and using support and optimisation processes to make print workflows smoother and more reliable.
