With the right MFP in place, you can streamline processes and improve workflows, allowing your business to focus on its core objectives rather than being bogged down with technology issues. When choosing an MFP, keep in mind the following:

Your printer hardware needs to allow your employees to perform their jobs well. If printers are continually breaking down, are constantly jamming up with paper, and are too slow to keep up with your tasks, workflows will be seriously disrupted. These problems are drastically reduced when you lease or purchase a new MFP.

Workflows are also improved by having an all-in-one device that takes the hassle out of working with multiple machines, such as copiers, printers, faxes, and scanners. Therefore, review the state of your current hardware to look for opportunities for consolidation and improvement.

Prevent costly downtime and wave goodbye to bottlenecks with an MFP that’s a cinch to operate. Check for intuitive interfaces and devices that require minimal training.

Before choosing your MFP, you need to analyze the key features of different models to make sure they are a good fit for your needs. The more aligned an MFP is with your needs, the better you can optimize workflows. You have to decide, among other things, whether you prefer ink or toner and color or black and white print. Other considerations include paper capacity, memory capacity, and graphics capabilities.
