Chapter 3. Best Practices
Whenever a printer isn’t working properly, checking printer statuses can often be used to find solutions to everyday printer problems.
For example, running out of printer paper during service can be a real disruption. Printer Status messages can help alleviate that problem. Make it a daily practice to check for printer errors before service, or perhaps after service. This way, if printers are low on paper, you’ll be able to reload the printers before you begin serving customers.
