Dealerships and service centers print for customers, technicians, and the office.

The workplace

How printing fits this workplace

A showroom, a service lane, and an administrative desk do not share one printing pattern. We place and configure devices for those areas and the documents each one produces.

Customer paperwork, service documents, and office printing can share a fleet without sharing one location. Each area is configured for the documents it produces.

01 Printing for the showroom, service area, and office
02 Shared devices for the teams who need them
03 Setup around customer and service documents

On site

Where the devices belong

Showroom
Devices for the customer documents produced on the floor, placed where that paperwork is handed over.
Service lane
Printing for technicians and the paperwork that stays with a job, close to the lane rather than only in the showroom.
Dealership office
Administrative printing for the teams behind the showroom and the lane, configured for those office documents.

Documents

What this workplace prints

A dealership or service center prints for customers, for technicians, and for the office. Those documents do not have to come from the same device.

Customer documents
Paperwork produced in the showroom for the people working with customers.
Service documents
Job paperwork printed for technicians and kept with the work in the service area.
Office administration
Internal documents for the teams running the business behind the floor.
Shared devices
Printers used by more than one of those teams, when the workplace wants a shared device instead of one at every desk.

The work

How the setup is scoped

The showroom, the service lane, and the office are configured for the documents each one produces. They can share a fleet without sharing one location.

01 Split the areas
Treat the showroom, the service lane, and the office as separate printing patterns unless the same people use them.
02 Place devices with the job
Put customer printing on the floor and service printing with the lane.
03 Share devices on purpose
Use a shared device where several people need the same documents.
04 Configure for those documents
Set each device up around customer paperwork, service paperwork, or office paperwork, as that area requires.
