Owning or leasing a Xerox copier/printer is a strategic decision that is sure to increase productivity and workflow in your office. However, if you’re having difficulty using all the features, it could impact your office productivity. 

 If you’re not used to using a multi-function printer (MFP) that allows you to print, scan, copy, and fax all in one place, you may have some questions. You could need assistance in changing trays or toners or even learning about the features and apps your Xerox machine provides. 

Training is provided in copier purchases at the time of delivery or shortly after. However, you might find that you need additional training in the future or for other employees. We have three resources that can help guide you through your questions and MFP needs.

Toner is an essential part of owning a copier/printer. No matter the reason for purchase (personal, business, school), you’re going to need to purchase toner, which can be expensive.  

The toner industry has historically made you choose between affordable or quality toner. 

If you opt for high-quality OEM (original equipment manufacturer) toner, which most businesses need, the price can add up. 

However, opting for inexpensive drill and fill toners lead to ink spills, hazardous materials, and repeated service repairs. 

Luckily, Xerox has introduced a newly manufactured toner called “Everyday Toner” to the market that’s available for most name-brand copiers/printers.

Many people are not aware or educated on the different types of toners available for copiers/printers and this often leads them to purchase the cheapest toner available. 

Buying the cheapest toner possible often results in problems such as poor print quality or spilled ink. Ink spillage, and other issues caused by cheap toner, can cause damage to the machine, which is a costly repair.  

Cheaper toner often uses banned or hazardous materials such as plastic to cut costs. These toxins can cause problems for the machine and the users. 

To prevent copier/printer owners from making this mistake, this article breaks down the four different types of toners and which one is best for your home or business printing needs.
