Managed IT Services Network Printers: ConnectKey Technology
If there was ever one technological advancement that offices across the country, and arguably the world, are grateful for, it’s giving office printers the capability to be connected to an internal network. This means, anyone connected to a specific network can use a single printer. Managed IT services, on the other hand, ensure internal networks are always connected, among others.
Network connected printers
Network connected printers enhance operations as employees are able to print with ease. Where in the past local office printers are usually connected to a single computer through a USB cable, nowadays, network printers have become the norm. Network printers are connected to the internet through an ethernet cable or through wi-fi technology. However which way they are connected online, employees are afforded the convenience and flexibility of printing directly from their network connected device.
Other than the convenience and flexibility network office printers afford employees, network printers also help cut down costs as the office will no longer need several printers where one or two units are generally assigned per department. With a network-capable printer, a single unit is usually enough for a small or medium-size office space.

While network connected printers have become the norm, not every brand, unit or model offer the same capabilities. How advanced the tools and features are in each network-capable printer brand make all the difference in the world.
