The characteristics and development direction of network printing.
Improve work efficiency
Network is the product of the pursuit of efficient communication and information flow. As a printing scheme in the network, it should not be limited to network connectivity, such as the traditional so-called "network printing"-what people now call a shared print mode, is to connect the printer to a network terminal or server on the same port for sharing, although users on the network can output documents from the printer, But its performance is greatly limited by the computer printing and the mouth, and HP's network printing solution not only integrates the network connection function seamlessly with the printer, but also gives full play to the performance advantages of all the components in the network, and makes the whole performance of the system multiply. In the speed test, HP network printing is more 50%~70% than traditional shared print performance, while the user is reflected in the real application environment: The performance difference may be as high as 150%.
Reduce office expenses
The efficiency of the increase will undoubtedly reduce office costs, but the savings in office costs are also related to a number of factors. It is clear that today's users are still concerned about cost issues. In market research, it is found that almost all users value the overall cost (including the power consumption of later supplies), rather than the one-time investment in the purchase of equipment. This is because the cost of buying is only part of the and is the only one that does not increase with time, so the longer the use of equipment, the smaller the proportion of purchase costs, and users in the use of equipment installation costs, operating costs, management costs, maintenance costs, and so the proportion of rising, Of course it becomes a more user-focused object.
of management
The network printing scheme provides excellent management, which greatly reduces the time that managers use to handle printing related problems in the network, and directly reduces the management cost of the enterprise network, while the traditional shared printing mode has no management, and the management cost is high.
Reliability
The network printing scheme is based on the mature technology, has the extremely high reliability, rarely produces the breakdown, even if the fault also is extremely easy to eliminate, the maintenance cost is close to 0, while the traditional shared printing way reliability is limited by the computer which connects, the maintenance cost is unavoidable.
Ease of Use
Network printing schemes are easy to implement, such as HP's simple device installation technology, so that the installation of network printers than the installation of shared printing easier to deal with the enterprise environment is a breeze.
Adaptability
The network printing scheme can connect a variety of network environments, and it supports Cross-platform, simple configuration and strong adaptability, while traditional shared printing has been unable to adapt to the increasingly complex network environment in today's enterprises.
To sum up: the real network printing scheme should include: High-performance network printer, efficient, flexible, easy-to-use, reliable network printing connection parts, as well as full-featured network print management software. The establishment of a sound network printing technical standards and norms, all of these are closely around the user's actual work needs to design, to get more and more users recognition and affirmation. This is the real development direction of the network printing.
