Metrofuser Issues
Strong Recommendation for Power Conditioning Products to Improve Print
Device Reliability and Savings
Metrofuser Selects ESP for Power Protection
 Laser
printer parts manufacturer Metrofuser (http://www.metrofuser.com)
has issued a Power Conditioning recommendation for business users
of laser printers. The company’s research reveals a
significant percentage of failures can be traced back to dirty power
delivery to these devices. Metrofuser is launching a campaign to educate
service providers on the risks of running printers, copiers and MFP’s
without power conditioning devices and how to provide solutions.
A quick review of just about every utility company’s website reveals
widespread voltage inconsistencies in the power grid. Many end-users
incorrectly believe relying on retail surge protectors will protect them
adequately. The reality is they will do little, as they don't condition
power in today’s sensitive office equipment.
Metrofuser's Engineering department conducted extensive research which
revealed power issues to be an integral point of failure. Research
compiled from warranty failures, technical support case studies and
forensic analysis has revealed power fluctuations to be a major
contributor to device failures. Poor power can show up as sporadic
problems including paper jams, error codes and image defects. Eliminating the dirty power
variable is a precursor to diagnosing most intermittent device errors.
The explosive growth of the managed print services (MPS) industry model
has led service providers to take responsibility for the hardware fleets
while leaving power conditioning to the end-users with little support or
guidance being provided. For further information on how dirty power and
voltage inconsistencies can affect office machines, Metrofuser
recommends these publicly available studies:

Metrofuser recommends power protection products like those manufactured
by ESP as they offer excellent protection at a reasonable price. ESP
devices provide unparalleled power conditioning and sophistication that
goes beyond protecting the device. These power filters protect
the labor, parts and travel expenses to service the device should the
power filter fail, or fail to protect the connected device. ESP Power
Filters reduce service calls, reduce down time by helping machines
operate at 100% maximum efficiency, improve MCBVs by 16%, helping
eliminate no-problem found calls, and help avoid replacing unnecessary
parts. Preventing just one service call in a year will payback the
device in its entirety.
ESP’s latest Power Conditioning System, the NextGen PCS, records power
events such as over-voltage, under-voltage, surge, and power outages
occurring in your customer’s environment. Using the optional NextGen
interface, technicians can connect their PCs to export the filter’s
event history or view it onsite, allowing them to quickly diagnose and
eliminate power quality issues affecting the dependability and
reliability of the installed Copier, Printer, or MFP device. For more
