With artificial intelligence (AI) transforming workflows across industries, modern print environments—including managed services, large-format systems, and production printing—are becoming smarter, more efficient, and cost-effective.

Boost Operational Efficiency with AI

Predictive Maintenance
AI algorithms monitor usage data across your print fleet—from small desktops to industrial production presses—to predict when service or replenishment is needed. This proactive approach minimizes downtime and ensures systems stay operational, reducing disruptions for your team.

Automated Workflow Management
From label printing and CAD drawings on wide-format machines to high-volume production tasks, AI-enhanced systems automatically detect document types, adjust settings, and route jobs. This smart automation reduces manual setup and lowers the risk of costly errors.

Resource Optimization
Large-format and production printing often involve significant consumable use (ink, media, electricity). AI helps optimize material utilization and energy consumption, recommending adjustments that eliminate waste and cut costs.

 Fortify Your Print Ecosystem with AI-Driven Security

AI-powered security systems monitor network behavior—including in wide-format and production environments—detecting anomalies or potential threats. Smart threat detection prevents data breaches and ensures audit trails remain intact, keeping sensitive content safe.

Real-World Applications in Print Services

• Document Recognition & Intelligent Routing
  In sectors like architecture, construction, and manufacturing, AI-enabled devices can classify and route technical drawings, proposals, or permits automatically—integrating with MPS platforms for seamless distribution.
• Speech-to-Print Workflows
  Voice commands let users initiate print or scanning tasks hands-free—especially helpful in environments where mobility and accessibility are critical, such as design studios or warehouses.
• Fleet-wide Learning for Optimization
  AI enables Managed Print Services to learn across device networks—identifying performance patterns, usage trends, and inefficiencies, then applying optimization strategies fleet-wide for increased productivity.

How Leading Providers Are Already Using AI

Many OEMs include AI functionality in core print systems—including those commonly used in MPS and production settings:

• HP – Their Wolf Security ecosystem utilizes AI and machine learning to detect threats and automate routine tasks like printing to cloud or scanning workflows.
• Canon – The uniFLOW platform leverages AI to analyze user behavior, dynamically manage print queues, and deliver secure print release features.
• Xerox – AI-driven predictive analytics underlie their remote services, helping anticipate support needs and maintain high reliability.

These innovations lay the groundwork—now it’s time to integrate AI into MPS, large-format, and production workflows for tangible business impact.

When most businesses think about cybersecurity, the focus goes straight to firewalls, anti-virus software, and employee phishing training. Yet, there’s one critical device sitting in almost every office that rarely gets the same attention—and it may be your biggest blind spot: the multifunction printer (MFP).

Modern MFPs do much more than print. They scan, email, copy, and store sensitive business data. Left unsecured, these devices can serve as entry points for hackers, exposing confidential files, financial information, and even your entire network.

Why Multifunction Printers Are Easy Targets for Cyber Attacks

Every day, your MFP handles documents that contain your most sensitive information—contracts, HR records, financial statements, client files, and compliance documents. What many businesses don’t realize is that these devices often store copies, cache credentials, and log activity. Without proper print security measures, your business data could be exposed to:

• Cached usernames and passwords that can be stolen

• Unpatched firmware or open ports that give attackers access

• Audit logs revealing document history and workflows

• Unclaimed print jobs left in trays for anyone to pick up

It’s no surprise that hackers increasingly view printers as an “easy win” in cybersecurity breaches.

3 Proven Steps to Strengthen Your Print Security

Securing your multifunction printers doesn’t have to be complicated. By taking a few proactive steps, you can greatly reduce risk while staying compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, and other data protection regulations.

1. Control Access to Devices

Require PIN codes or badge authentication so only authorized employees can release print jobs. This prevents sensitive files from being left unattended in output trays.

2. Treat MFPs Like Workstations

Your printer is essentially a computer on your network—so treat it like one. Change default administrator credentials, segment printers on VLANs, and enable data encryption to protect information in transit.

3. Keep Firmware and Security Settings Updated

Unpatched firmware is one of the most common security gaps. Establish a regular schedule to apply updates and document your print security measures to maintain regulatory compliance.

Don’t Forget the Human Factor in Print Security

Even the most advanced network security strategy can fall apart without employee awareness. Simple habits—like collecting print jobs immediately, double-checking email destinations before scanning, and reporting unusual device activity—can help prevent costly data breaches.

Are Your Printers Truly Secure?

Most organizations are surprised by the vulnerabilities uncovered during a print security audit. From outdated firmware to unsecured workflows, hidden risks inside your MFPs could be leaving your organization exposed.

That’s why we created:
