MPS - Education

All educational institutions aim to achieve the highest educational standards on a finite budget, thus the more
resources that can be directed towards teaching aides and programs and the less that is spent on operational
expenses the better.

The enormous amount of printed material that is generated on campus, along with the time swallowed in
managing the printed material and maintaining the print devices adds up to significant operating costs that
can easily be reduced by a LaserFast customised MPS solution for Education.

In addition to these operational expenses, the print devices utilised by educational institutions are often under specification for the workload required. They are often called on to generate far more pages than they were designed to deliver. The volume of internet projects, tests, reports, classroom projects, and bulletins often exceed the capabilities of these devices. This results in much higher capital expenditure due to the fact the devices have to be replaced more often.

To cap this all off, teachers often have to wait for documents to be printed as well as having to collate and staple multi-page documents manually – further adding to labour expenses through delays.

LaserFast implements solutions matched to the requirements of each educational institution to improve workflow efficiency and cut printing costs significantly. Putting a wider range of document output capabilities closer to the classroom increases teacher productivity and frees them to concentrate more on students' needs. And with the ability to scan paper documents into electronic format, our experience shows that our solutions can speed up administrative processes, reducing printed pages to cut printing costs by as much as 20%.

These solutions include:

Printing Tests
Initiate printing of blank 15, 30 or 60-question test bubble sheets right at the MFP.

Prints a barcoded answer key bubble sheet as the first page for the teacher to complete
Can include space for answers to open-ended questions, unlike most other bubble sheet print options
Ease of printing bubble sheets allows teachers to assess student performance more often, as soon as new content is presented

Grading Tests
Scan and score student bubble sheets using the teacher’s completed answer key bubble sheet and produce printed summary reports in minutes, directly on the MFP.

Tests are graded individually
Choose from three report formats: Student Grade Report, Class Averages Report and Test Statistics Report
Immediate reports allow teachers to identify and address comprehension problems quickly

Scan to Classroom
Teachers can scan and send proof of work documents, or student work that teachers may need for a parent conference, from the Education Station directly to a personalized destination on the network.
Office personnel can also use the same icon to scan and e-mail notes such as doctors’ notes and permission forms directly to teachers.

Shared folder can be associated with a classroom number, teacher or grade
Configuration can allow for the user to authenticate, change or create subdirectories, change the filename or create an index file
With the ability to manage their own documents, teachers can reduce the time they spend on paperwork and free up more time for teaching

Forms on Demand
Busy teachers and administrative staff often do not have time to log in to a workstation, locate a document and submit a print job. Forms on Demand allows users to quickly and easily access and print forms right at the Education Station MFP.

Can be configured from the MFP operator panel
Allows for adding descriptive names to internet or intranet URL’s
Cuts printing, storage and obsolescence costs of pre-printed forms
