Print MonitoringTo make educated and profitable decisions, you need the critical data. Print monitoring services provide
you with everything you need to know to proactively and prudently manage your document equipment.
� Audit of your entire fleet – types of MFPs, printers, copiers, faxes, and their locations.
� Status reports – which pieces of equipment are, and are not, running at peak efficiency?
� Analysis of print and copy output – total output, color vs B&W (if applicable), toner levels,
and costs per page.
MFP Security OptionsMFPs are equipped with data storage units and regardless of the manufacturer’s assurances that the
data is secure, we recommend choosing one–or both–of our security options:
Assess the Situation Printing costs can account for 15% of a business’s annual
