Making your printer fleet more energy efficient is a smart move for any organization. With rising costs and a greater focus on resource conservation, it's worthwhile to examine your printing systems. Especially with new work models like hybrid environments, there are often big opportunities to save energy and reduce environmental impact.
This article shows you how to use ezeep technology to make your printing system more energy efficient.
Many printing systems operate at pre-pandemic levels, even if workforce dynamics have shifted. If your company practices hybrid work and fewer employees are in the office, thoroughly check how your printers are used. If print volume has decreased and some printers are underutilized, consolidating your printer fleet can deliver maximum energy savings.
If you decide to reduce your printer fleet, keep some key points in mind to ensure smooth printing operations. Prioritize the most energy-efficient systems currently in use, balancing this with required functionality. Specialized hardware, like thermal or label printers, should remain to avoid disrupting business processes. Often, individual workplace printers can be replaced by larger, more efficient multifunctional systems.
Consolidating your printer fleet means employees will share printers. A pull printing solution like ezeep is ideal for this, allowing secure document output. Users initiate a print job as usual, selecting 'AnyPrinter by ezeep.' The print jobs are held in a virtual queue until the user authenticates directly at any company device to release their documents. This ensures confidential information is not left unsecured at the printer. Pull printing also prevents wasted energy from forgotten, uncollected print jobs. If a printer is busy, jobs can be redirected to another available device, maximizing resource use.
Another advantage of ezeep is its ability to share corporate printers across different network segments, further enabling device consolidation. Users in branch offices, working from home, or in public-facing areas can all use corporate printers. With ezeep, printing is centrally managed without compromising network security. For remote offices, the energy-efficient and low-maintenance ezeep Hub simplifies setup, requiring no specialized IT knowledge on-site.
Significant energy savings are possible by optimizing your printing system. Consolidating your printer fleet combined with ezeep cloud printing is an effective strategy. ezeep offers straightforward printer management independent of printer model and uses pull printing for secure document output on shared printers. Additionally, it enables sharing printers across different locations and network segments. ezeep helps you reduce energy costs and makes your printing system more efficient and sustainable.
