Printing has remained vital throughout the years. However, most businesses continue to rely on traditional printing servers that are only accessible within the organization.
Traditional printing yields poor quality, paper jams, and sluggish performance. Your company is losing money because of these issues. Aside from the high repair and maintenance costs, the costs of ink, toner and paper continue to rise year after year. The more errors the printer makes, the more money you spend, and the cost rises.
Moreover, it is also advisable to prepare your company for the changing demands and conditions of this fast-paced world by breaking down traditional office barriers and transforming your office into a productivity hub.
Now is the ideal time to maximize your productivity with a multi-function printer.
What is a multi-function printer?
A multi-function printer is a type of office machine that combines the functions of multiple devices into a single device. It has been in existence for some time, but its capabilities are constantly evolving to meet today’s stringent business requirements.
These devices allow you to not only print from your computer but also scan existing documents and copy or save them as files.
Benefits of a multi-function printer
A multi-function printer, which can handle multiple office tasks in one compact device, can make your life easier. They provide all the necessary document solutions in an easy-to-use format for most modern offices. There are numerous benefits to having a multi-function printer in the workplace that are frequently overlooked.
The following are four significant benefits that a multi-function printer provides to corporate businesses:
- Saving Space. Businesses tend to upgrade their devices at different times. It is common to use discrete devices around the office to complete tasks. Desktop printers or scanners may be connected to individual workstations as part of this. It could also imply having dedicated copy rooms where large, noisy machines can run indefinitely without causing disruptions in the office.
Investing in a multi-function printer can reduce the space needed while also saving the company time and money.
- Convenience. The multi-function printers have numerous features that aid in the improvement of all document-related processes. Employees can speed up their workflows by the printing or scanning a document in one multi-function printer, and there is no need to walk between different devices to complete a task.
It also reduces administrative costs because the company only needs to maintain one device for all its office workflows rather than multiple machines.
- Lowering the Costs. The cost of running multiple devices can quickly add up. It can include power consumption, supplies, and the frequency with which service or maintenance tasks are performed.
The multi-function printer can help the company to lower its operating costs with an energy-efficient device, which also uses less ink for each copy or print job.
- Increased Productivity. With onboard document management features, newer multi-function printers can help increase productivity. With detailed logs for each print, the company can also improve the oversight of its print operations. Furthermore, the most recent multifunction printers include advanced security features to safeguard data during transit and storage. The right device will be determined by how the office executes its workflows.

What sets Konica Minolta Bizhub i-Series MFP apart?
Konica Minolta bizhub i-Series multi-function printers are useful for many reasons, including cost savings, convenience, and control over printing capabilities.
The bizhub i-Series has several distinguishing features, which are as follows:
Utilizes simplicity- With new technologies emerging daily, user intuitiveness is a top priority for both businesses and individuals. It makes it easy for users to navigate the app by incorporating coherence and continuity into the design.

The bizhub i-Series is simple to use and makes everyday tasks easier.
Improves security- One of the most significant drawbacks of incorporating new technologies and devices into business use is the lack of cybersecurity standards. In the same way that technology must be user-friendly, it must also be secure.

The Bizhub SECURE services enable businesses to tailor services to their specific needs, giving them complete flexibility.
