Enrolment season can get hectic for school administration teams. Between student applications, enrolment forms, consent letters and information packs, printers can suddenly find themselves working overtime.
And the last thing anyone needs is a paper jam halfway through a large print job.
At Laserfast, our experience with business printers has shown us how small issues can become bigger headaches when machines are under pressure. Preparing your school printers before enrolment starts can help reduce unexpected interruptions and keep the office running smoothly.
Check for Paper Jams and Print Quality Issues
If your printer has been feeding multiple sheets, jamming regularly or producing faded text, don’t ignore it. Worn rollers, cartridge issues and other internal components can affect performance, especially when printing volumes increase.
Run a few test prints before enrolment begins and arrange servicing if problems keep returning. It’s much easier to address an issue early than troubleshoot a printer when staff are rushing to prepare documents.
Check Toner, Ink and Paper Supplies
Running out of toner or paper halfway through enrolment paperwork can slow everything down. Check your supply levels in advance and make sure you have the correct cartridges for each printer model.
It’s also worth checking that shared network printers are accessible and working properly from the computers your staff use.
Don't Wait Until the Printer Breaks Down
A printer might seem fine during everyday use but struggle when asked to handle hundreds of pages. Regular maintenance can help identify worn components, paper-feeding issues and other problems before they cause major disruption.
At Laserfast, we’ve seen how addressing recurring printer issues early can save businesses unnecessary downtime. Schools are no different—reliable printing helps staff focus on students and families instead of troubleshooting equipment.

Before the next enrolment rush, take time to test your printers, check supplies and arrange servicing where needed.
