Copier maintenance contracts are a bit different and every copier leasing company has their own system, but most contracts are almost similar. The majority of vendors provide full coverage where they provide complete service the machine.

When choosing a printer/copier maintenance contract, the business should compare it with other vendors and know which one is best for their business. Doing this might not only save businesses extra money, but also gives them better service.

The following items should be included in your maintenance contract:
– Parts (any moving parts within the machine that are expected to wear out)
– Supplies (toner, drums, etc.)
– Labor (service technicians making the trip to your office to service or maintain your copy machine)

Risk of not having a printer/copier maintenance contract

Choosing not to have a printer/copier maintenance contract activated for your copier machine might look cheaper, especially if the machine doesn’t develop issues or need servicing in the first 12 months. A copy machine won’t stay active for a long time and never require maintenance. Just like every other machine, it would breakdown and need to be serviced.

When there is a printer/copier maintenance contract activated, unexpected costs of servicing and maintaining a copier machine can be eliminated. Businesses that have a printer/copier maintenance agreement in place can stay relaxed when their machines break down, knowing that the contract would cover them.

Choosing not to have a printer/copier maintenance contract is an unprofessional approach and can lead to unnecessary expenditures in the future. So, getting one is important. =) Shameless plug – Magnum can provide servicing and maintenance for Xerox machines and we have expert technicians that can efficiently service these machines.
