How smoothly your office runs can have a huge impact on your annual performance, employee satisfaction, and just how easy it is to generally get things done throughout the day.
So-called office bottlenecks are often small, insidious little inconveniences that, over time, add up for a potentially significant loss in revenue and team productivity. Imagine that only 20 minutes per day are lost to these seemingly “minor” delays. Over the course of a year—assuming 250 working days—those few minutes per day can add up to over three entire working days lost.
While that example is little more than napkin math, the reality is that print task bottlenecks are a real problem that reduce efficiency for everyone. These are the kinds of delays caused by one particular job in the print queue holding up the rest, or delays that are caused by team members needing to use the printer for longer than should be necessary, preventing others from using it.
In today’s post on the QDoxs Office Solutions blog, we’ll be taking a look at two ways that Xerox technology can eliminate such bottlenecks.
How the Xerox Print-Around Feature Keeps Tasks Flowing
If you work in an office environment where the printer is being used frequently throughout the day by multiple team members, the Print Around feature is a must have.
Sometimes a print job is added to the queue which, if the requirements aren’t met, will halt the task until the user manually intervenes. Typically, this is due to the correct paper size not being available in the tray—the printer says, “Hey, wait a minute. I can’t do this. Give me the paper I need!”
The problem is, until that person comes along, the entire queue is halted, meaning that everyone else’s print jobs won’t come through, either.
This problem is completely mitigated with the Xerox Print Around feature, which allows for the other tasks to continue to be processed. The only task that will be halted is the one that requires manual intervention.
Scan Often? Start Using the Xerox Scan With Print App to Cut Out Unnecessary Steps
Here’s a short and sweet one for you: if you scan documents and then immediately need to print a copy often, the Xerox Scan With Print app gives you a one-button solution for doing exactly that. No extra steps—just scan, and print!
