Correct Device Alignment is one of those terms that seems obvious and self-evident, but actually has substantial ramifications for you if you are to trust that your documents are being printed properly across your company or organisation on a consistent basis.
It’s imperative, when you enter into a Print Fleet Management contract or agreement that the provider is responsive to your employees so it can provide consistent printer availability, service and management as well as advanced multifunction device capabilities everywhere they are needed especially as needs change and evolve over time.
With correct device alignment in place, improved productivity is increased due to faster print devices as well as higher-quality output.
This gives you the ability to better align technology with your business needs. Using correct device alignment means supplies are stocked, managed and filed regularly with users using a single point of contact for problem resolution.[i]
The most versatile way to ensure correct device alignment is through web-based remote support services that use a connected hardware appliance to collect device data to receive and report service and toner alerts while also enabling remote firmware upgrades.
Through a secure portal, usage data for the fleet is automatically aggregated and made available to you. Opting in to a remote correct device alignment service is beneficial when looking to eliminate manual meter readings and simplify time consuming administrative tasks.[ii]
