What should be checked in the printer as part of the opening procedure?

Checking the paper stock in the printer as part of the opening procedure is essential because it ensures that the printer is ready for immediate use without delays. Having an adequate supply of the correct type of paper prevents interruptions during the printing process and maintains workflow efficiency. If the printer runs out of paper or contains the wrong type, it can lead to disruption of operations, wasted time, and potential errors in printing.

Monitoring paper stock will help the optical department ensure that all necessary documents can be printed as needed, aiding in maintaining excellent service levels. While checking ink levels, print quality, and connectivity status are also important, verifying the paper stock is fundamental because it directly impacts the printer's functionality and the ability to produce printed materials without unnecessary holdups.
