HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR OFFICE EQUIPMENT

When you purchase new office equipment, you’re investing a good amount of your money into something that needs to work hard for your office. Most businesses depend heavily on devices like copiers and multifunction printers. Spending some time to make sure you’re treating your equipment right can help ensure the longevity of your device.

SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE

Having regularly scheduled maintenance for your office equipment is important. Even if everything seems to be running just fine, a regular check-in helps ensure things will stay that way. Sometimes issues can be addressed before they even impact the use of the device. Plus, preventative maintenance can help you be sure that everything is up-to-date on the devices. Missing updates can sometimes have negative effects on your devices, so it’s best to keep up on those.

TRAIN YOUR TEAM

Your entire team should have an understanding of the proper treatment of office equipment. The best way to address this is to have an initial training for everyone, then have regular follow-ups if there are new things to know, new devices to learn, or issues that have come up. Many office workers simply don’t understand how their actions can impact the office equipment, so it’s smart to talk about best practices.

ASSESS YOUR HABITS

Similarly, assessing how your office is using copiers and printers can help you determine any potential problems. For example, if no one cleans the copier (dusting, vacuuming drawers, cleaning glass), then the copier will continue to deteriorate. Understanding what habits you have (or need to adopt) is a great way to prolong your office equipment lifespan.
