Technological advancements provide companies, especially the express industry, with several opportunities to improve the way business is conducted. New generation printers such as mobile printers are one of those advancements that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Mobile printers eliminate the need for handwriting documents and manual filing. You can print from any mobile device to a web-enabled networked printer. Everything from documents, e-mails, photos, and web pages is print-ready.

In this article, we will discuss new generation printer applications. We will analyze the most common printing problems and the advantages brought by these devices to your business.

New Generation Printers

The applications for mobile printing are diverse and nearly limitless; warehouses can generate shipping labels and RFID. Hospitals, laboratories, and veterinary offices can print sample labels as they’re needed, preventing mislabeling and protecting privacy.

Many mobile printers also feature credit card readers to make transactions easy. Businesses where drivers and couriers have to make quick stops for receipts, proof of delivery, and label printing benefit from portable printers. The devices are lightweight, durable, hand-held, or carried on a belt in warehouses.

Common Printers Problem

1. Bad Print Quality

Printing quality can have a significant negative effect on your business. Unclear labeling may lead to misinterpretation of packages information during delivery. Usually, bad print quality can be traced to the printer’s capacity, paper grade, image resolution, or camera quality.

Suppose you notice that your print quality is uneven, too dark or light, or has horizontal or vertical horizontal lines; check the printer settings, specifications, application settings. Also, how well the hardware is maintained can affect the quality of photos and images printed from a printer.

2.  Unresponsive printer

Many reasons could cause a printer to be unresponsive. It could be an issue of paper jam, no paper, cables not adequately connected, printer ink, or toner cartridges. Check the printer to make sure it’s turned on and connected correctly.

Unresponsive technology can easily be detectable by customers and can often let a business down, so ensure the problems are addressed as soon as possible.

Low speed and inefficient

Speed and efficiency should be the top priority of any office printer, which is why you shouldn’t put up with printers that are not up to the standard that your business needs.

A common reason your printer is slow and inefficient could be its load is being put on only a single cartridge. Change the preference for the workload to be divided between both cartridges. Crosscheck the network connection and update the printer firmware.

3. Paper jams

The first issue you may likely encounter with your printer is a paper jam. This problem could be due to paper inserted incorrectly, folded or frayed, sheets stuck together, or an overloaded tray. Avoid loading wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled paper into your printer, and ensure you store the paper in a cool, dry place.

4. WiFi printing takes a long time

WiFi printing is more convenient but can be slow sometimes by networks with a lot of traffic, which can only be improved through patience or manually switching your wireless router’s channel.

There can also be interference from other objects in the room that obstruct your connection and hinder performance. For example, wireless speakers, cordless phones, or even walls between your printer and the router can make your printing take a long time.

Benefits of Mobile Printer

1. Enhanced productivity

For businesses in the express industry, having a mobile printer adds efficiency and speed to the work environment, increasing productivity. Your workers can do label printing and barcodes whenever required. For instance, when packaging shipment of goods, you can print off labels and apply them right away; this provides a high level of productivity and accuracy.

Mobile printers allow employees to work on the go or from remote locations; they can share information, create documents, and conduct printing actions from the same device regardless of location.

2. Flexibility of usage

Flexibility is the hallmark of mobile printing. Unlike the traditional printer, a portable printer is designed to take up less space. You can travel conveniently with it, and it doesn’t require a full-sized computer. Also, you can print from your smartphone, tablet, or even stand-alone devices with built-in print functionality. This flexibility makes mobile workers more effective.

With mobile printers, you can print files only when you need them and anywhere. For instance, when you are working far from your desk, you don’t have to waste time traveling back and forth to your workstation or computer to manage a print job; everything can be done in one fell swoop through a mobile device. 

3. Improves sharing capabilities

Mobile printers cause an organization to run seamlessly by providing the capabilities for team members to share vital information and increase work collaboration. It eliminates wasteful back-and-forth communications. Instead of returning to the office to find a document, just hit print from wherever you are. Also, mobile workers can capture electronic signatures or quickly share data to keep a process or transaction moving.

4. Better customer service

Mobile printers can drastically improve an organization’s customer service; it makes it easy and quick to assist customers. It’s no longer necessary to fill out forms in difficult-to-read handwriting; instead, you can quickly enter data and print a full invoice or delivery receipt.

With faster access to information, customer service representatives can attend to customers’ needs even while on the go or away from their desks.

Your clients want to get solutions without spending too much time. So, set your business apart from the competition by providing your employees with the ability to offer those solutions quickly by giving them mobile printing devices.
