Printers, scanners and office infrastructure
Printing: The existing guide recommends HP LaserJet for standard printing and DYMO LabelWriter for labels. Confirm model and driver compatibility.
Scanning: Confirm TWAIN support and connection requirements for your setup.
On-premises protection: Use a UPS for the server, a business-class firewall, and antivirus or antimalware protection.
Confirm requirements for your APRIMA version
Share your deployment type, APRIMA version, provider count, concurrent users, locations, interfaces, and peripheral models with Microwize. Ask the team to verify operating system support and security updates before purchasing equipment.
Does APRIMA Cloud remove local hardware requirements?
Staff still need supported devices, internet connectivity and compatible peripherals. Hosting moves the APRIMA server to Microwize.
Can I approve a hardware purchase from this list?
Use the specifications to prepare your equipment list. Have Microwize check it against your APRIMA version, workload and deployment before ordering.
