Service Tutorials

Replacing parts on time is important for the health of your printer, and replacing the maintenance kit can get a little complicated.

As a service technician at STPT, I’ve made it my mission to simplify printer maintenance. My how-to quick printer fixes on YouTube have been a big hit, so I wanted to provide a quick, easy-to-read tutorial for those of you who prefer written directions.

It may be complicated, but the installation process doesn’t have to be difficult. Take the pressure off yourself and trust me and my fellow print experts at STPT to help you through it. With almost 40 years in the business, our team has the expertise to make the replacement process quick and easy for you.

You want to get your money's worth out of expensive office equipment, but when does hanging onto an old machine start to cost more than it’s worth? 

As your copier printer ages, it will naturally start encountering more problems, and when these problems start to occur, you’re likely spending more time and money on maintenance than the machine is worth. Trading in your current machine will likely save you money and increase productivity. 

Our printer experts at STPT have been in the business for almost 40 years, and we want to use our know-how to help you maintain your copier printer for as long as possible.

On average, color prints cost between $0.07-$0.30 per print, a seemingly minuscule price that any business could bear.  

But what happens when you consistently print in color, and the costs add up faster than you realized?  

You’re left with a high printing bill and a puzzled look because you didn’t recognize how much color printing costs could run up your monthly print invoice.   

As a print vendor with noted experience finding and dissecting customers’ print problems, we know how common it is for color overages to contribute to higher-than-normal print expenses.    

Xerox, the company we partner with, has a standard feature that can be enabled on most of their devices called color tracking which could serve as a remedy for businesses that need to get a hold of their color printing costs.    

​

Have you ever looked at your monthly bank statement and realized there were extra costs you didn’t account for? 

Believe it or not, printing can be an excessive expense for your business that may not be on your radar.  

That’s why a feature like Xerox Standard Accounting is important to have for businesses who want to track their costs to make sure it aligns with their budget, and they aren’t overspending on basic functions like printing and copying.  

As a locally managed print vendor, we’ve dealt with the issue of print management firsthand and can provide expert-driven insight into how to use this feature to help maintain an efficient workplace.  

Xerox Standard Accounting is exclusively for Xerox machines, and since we deal with their printers and supplies directly, we’ve gained an expert’s knowledge of the feature and will be discussing it specifically today.  

 There’s nothing more fun than tedious office tasks like scanning and sending documents- said no one ever.  

There’s a reason these tasks are tedious- you do them again and again, and while they might not be inherently difficult or time-consuming, it’s still something that’s taking away from your productivity time, and it can get old quickly.  

We’ve been in this industry for a long time, and we’ve seen the best ways to cut down on unnecessary tasks and increase productivity, and being able to have all your contacts available on your printer for easy selection and management is an invaluable resource in a busy office environment.
