Managed print services – FAQs
What is a managed print service?
A managed print service (MPS) combines printer hardware, supplies such as toner, and ongoing support in a single service. It helps organisations reduce printing costs while improving efficiency, productivity and information security.
An MPS can include visibility of how your printers are used, automatic replacement of consumables, and help aligning your print setup with your IT and document-management goals.
Brother's MPS is consumption-based: you pay only for the pages you print, without the upfront cost of hardware, supplies or services you don't need.
How do managed print services work?
Your printers are monitored remotely. Toner and parts are sent out automatically before you run out, and ongoing support keeps your devices running smoothly. The result is less admin, controlled costs, and supplies on hand when you need them.
Support, maintenance and on-site repairs are covered by your Service Level Agreement (SLA).
How much do managed print services cost?
There is no single fixed price. Cost depends on the number of devices, your monthly print volumes, and the service and support options you choose.
Because Brother MPS is pay-as-you-print with no minimum print requirement, you pay only for what you use. That is often more cost-effective than buying supplies and maintenance separately as you need them.

What are the benefits of managed print services?

- Improved productivity
- Better security and compliance
- More sustainable printing

Do I need software for a managed print service?
No. Brother MPS monitors your devices over a secure, cloud-based connection, so there's no software to install on site. As long as your printer is on your network, it connects over a standard secure internet connection (HTTPS, port 443).
There are some basic PC and network requirements, and our approved MPS partners can advise you on these.
