Every business depends on its copier or multifunction printer (MFP) – often more than they realize. Printing invoices, scanning contracts, copying proposals… it’s all part of the daily workflow. But when that one machine goes down, productivity grinds to a halt.

At JustTech, we’ve seen it time and again: one multifunction device doing everything for everyone – until it stops working. Suddenly, no one can print, scan, or copy anything. That’s why we always recommend having more than one multifunction printer. Think of it as your “insurance machine.”

Copier Downtime Can Shut Down Your Business

You don’t plan for your car to break down – but you still keep a spare tire. The same logic applies to your office technology.

Your multifunction devices are mechanical workhorses. They’re used constantly and require:

  • Regular maintenance and preventative care
  • Periodic parts replacement
  • Firmware and software updates
  • Emergency service or repairs

When something goes wrong, what’s your backup plan?

Without a secondary machine, your team is left waiting, outsourcing print jobs, or missing deadlines – all of which cost time, money, and customer confidence. That’s why copier redundancy isn’t a luxury; it’s smart business planning.

What Is an “Insurance Machine”?

An insurance machine is a second multifunction printer or copier that keeps your business running – no matter what happens to your main device.

It doesn’t have to be identical to your primary unit. It could be:

  • A smaller, efficient MFP for essential backup tasks
  • A strategically placed printer in another department
  • A dedicated machine for scanning or faxing
  • A secondary unit that shares daily print volume

The insurance machine can be a new or more affordable used device. In addition to selling new technology, JustTech provides certified remanufactured multifunction copiers to clients.

This isn’t overkill – it’s operational insurance. You already insure your building, your employees, and your data. Why not ensure your ability to work when your primary printer needs attention?

Shared Workloads = Longer Equipment Life

Adding a second multifunction printer isn’t just about emergencies – it’s also about smarter print management.

By splitting daily workloads between devices, you’ll see:

  • Less wear and tear per machine
  • Fewer service calls
  • Improved uptime and reliability
  • More efficient workflows, especially in busy offices

When your team can print, copy, and scan without bottlenecks, your entire operation runs smoother – and your equipment lasts longer.

Simple, Hassle-Free Printer Management

The insurance device can be added to the organizations monthly managed print plan from JustTech. Supplies are sent automatically when needed and the organization still receives only one invoice per month for all of the organization’s print activity (across all devices). All parts and onsite service are included.

Protect Your Workflow Before It’s Too Late

If your business relies on a single copier or multifunction printer, you’re taking a big risk. The cost of a backup device is minimal compared to the cost of lost productivity during unexpected downtime.

At JustTech, we’ll help you plan smart, stay productive, and keep your team moving – no matter what.
