Energy efficient devices lower the amount of energy that your office consumes without significantly changing policies. When devices are not in use they're better at conserving energy, helping to save each month on your utility costs! All of our devices are setup with sleep modes activated before they're even delivered, ensuring that you're not overspending on utilities that aren’t necessary.
Reducing the amount of paper that your office uses each month minimizes your impact on the environment and decreases your office’s supply costs. Unmanaged printing can equal about 1-3% of your office’s annual budget. Not reducing your paper consumption means you're missing out on one of the most significant cost-saving areas in your business. Another feature we ensure is set on all of systems before delivery is the duplex print function, which further reduces paper consumption.
