One of the most commonly forgotten pieces of the office printing equipment puzzle is the updating of equipment with the latest print drivers. Drivers are updates created by manufacturers that fix bugs, optimize efficiency of devices, and help to keep your equipment updated and working at maximum efficiency long after they leave the showroom floor. Normally, this is a function of a business’s IT department, however they can also be automatically updated if your business utilizes a Managed Print Services or Managed IT program.
Making sure that your drivers are always up to date have a number of benefits, including:
- Higher printing quality
- Faster print speed
- Bug fixes in software
- Increased supply usage efficiency
The biggest advantage of keeping your printing equipment updated is to avoid errors that may be caused erroneously through bugs in the system. The enhancements in printing efficiency are also a big added bonus that many businesses miss out on by not keeping their systems completely up to date. Even running 1-2 updates back from the current generation of patches can mean significant differences in the ability of your devices to get the most out of every print.
To avoid these hassling and time consuming errors as well as the bothersome troubleshooting process, be sure to stay up to date on drivers for all equipment. You can do this by checking the manufacturer’s website or by running a quick Google search.
