Print Services Fairfax VA: Encourage Use of Cheap Printers
High-end high-volume printers are much cheaper to run than small desktop printers. For this reason you should encourage your users to use printers that are the cheapest for you to run. You can do this when using a print charging system by assigning low costs to these printers, and higher costs to your more expensive to run printers. Your users will learn to use the high-end printers and you will see the reduction in costs.
Discourage the use of color printing:
Color printer and color toner is much more expensive than for black and white printing. You should encourage users to only print in color when they really need to. Often users only need to make print in color for their final draft. Working drafts only need to be printed in black and white. To discourage printing in color you should make printing to color printers more expensive to users, and/or reduce the cost of monochrome printing on color printers.
Reduce wastage:
One of the biggest recurring costs in operating a computer network is the cost of printer paper and toner. The key reducing printing costs is to reduce the use of these resources through effective management of printing resources and encouraging users to use them responsibly. It also helps our environment by saving trees!
Monitor printer usage:
In some environments, it may not appropriate to limit user printing through quotas. This might be the case in a company where you do not want to interfere in user's work, but just reduce printing, paper and toner costs. An effective way to do this is to monitor printer use by your users, by examining printer logs. If your users know that printer usage is monitored then they will be more careful about using printers.
You can also publish print job log reports and statistics to management or your intranet:
* user who have printed the most in the past month
* most expensive print jobs over the past month.
If this information is readily available, then it encourages people to "think" before that print.
