Professional manufacturers teach you how to maintain the copier!

1. When selecting a suitable place for copier, we should pay attention to the protection against high temperature, dust, shock, and direct sunlight. Meanwhile, we should ensure that the ventilation is excellent, because there is a trace of ozone at the time of copying, and the operator should go to the field for ventilation and rest for a while every time. Generally, we should try to reduce the movement. If we want to move, we must move horizontally and not skew. In order to ensure the best operation, at least 90 cm should be left on the left and right sides of the machine, and 13 cm should be left on the reverse side (if the machine is connected with a finisher, about 23 cm is required). The copier should be operated and used carefully.

2. Safe and stable AC power shall be used for connection.

3. During the operation of the copier, it is necessary to cover the upper plate to reduce the impact of strong sunshine.

4. After going to work every morning, turn on the copier and preheat it for about half an hour to keep the copier dry.

5. The glass copy table of the copier should be clean and free of scratches and mottling such as correction fluid and finger print, otherwise the copy effect will be affected. If mottled, use soft glass sanitary ware to clean.

6. When the surface plate of the copier shows the red light and powder signal, the user should add toner to the copier in time. If the toner is not added in time, the copier fault or powder bump noise may occur. When adding toner, shake the toner loose and operate according to the instructions. Do not use substitute powder (fake powder), or it will cause problems such as flying powder, large bottom ash, shortening the service life of the carrier, and because of its high rate of waste powder, the practical copy yield is less than 2/3 of the real powder.

7. If you need to copy books and other documents that need to be bound, please select a copier with the “split scan feature” function. In this way, the copy shadow caused by uneven binding can be eliminated.

8. If there is a shadow in the set of your copy, dust can enter the lens of your copier. At this moment, you need to carry out professional hygiene on the copier.

9. After using the copier every time, you must wash your hands in time to eliminate the damage of residual dust on your hands.

10. Before adding copy paper, first check whether the paper is dry and clean, and then straighten out the copy paper before and after it is folded neatly and then put it into the paper tray with the same size standard. The paper in the paper tray cannot exceed the thickness allowed by the copier. Please consult the manual to determine the thickness scale. In order to keep the paper dry, you can put a box of desiccant in the paper box of the copier. After using the copy paper every day, you should wrap the copy paper and put it in the dry cabinet.

11. If the following conditions occur, please turn off the power immediately and ask the repair personnel. A. Abnormal noise in the machine; B. The machine shell becomes overheated; C. The machine is partially damaged; D. The machine is drenched by rain or water enters the machine.

12. Close the power switch of the copier and cut off the power supply when the work is off. Pull out the plug without closing the switch will easily cause machine problems.

Those things about copy machine leasing!

For start-ups, although the price of photocopiers is not high, the installation, consumables, maintenance and other aspects are very troublesome. So it is wise to choose photocopier leasing. So what should we pay attention to when choosing photocopier leasing? Let’s give you a brief introduction. I hope we can help you with the rental of photocopiers.

1. Leasing is a wise way to obtain the use of photocopier equipment

The leasing company provides the service of replacing “financing” with “financing”, which enables the enterprise to obtain the right to use the equipment, reduce the investment in the equipment and reduce the depreciation risk.

The leasing company provides the maintenance, repair and management of equipment, and also bears the risk of equipment obsolescence.

2. Before you decide to rent equipment, you must understand and ask yourself these questions

01. Whether the use of this copier can increase benefits and reduce costs.

02. Is it effective for your cash flow to pay for this copy equipment.

03. Whether the use of this equipment will increase additional costs and management.

04. How long do you plan to use this device and whether the device itself is updated.

05. Will your needs for equipment change in the next few years or longer.

3. Once the evaluation of the equipment is completed, it is necessary to decide to rent the equipment, select a lease contract that is suitable for your needs, and consider the following factors.

01. Lease term.

02. Your company or personal credit.

03. The lease price is not a decisive factor. It is important to choose a leasing company with scale and good credit. Malicious price competition is dangerous to the equipment and you.

 

Why copier rental companies generally use refurbished copier

In the office scene, the copier is an essential equipment. Now more and more enterprises choose to rent. Of course, there are many benefits, which can be summarized as “worry, trouble and money saving”.

The new copier is very simple. It mainly depends on which brand and grade of machine you choose. The lease term is usually about 3 years. Because of the high price of new machines, there are problems of depreciation and allocation. If it is a one-year lease, it will become a used copier before returning the capital. If you can’t rent a good price, you will lose money. Therefore, the lease term of new machines is often from 3 years.

Used copiers are more complex. They are eliminated at home and imported from abroad. Generally, the machines rented by leasing companies are imported from abroad. They are well maintained, new in quality and have few problems. The machines eliminated at home are rotten and have no reuse value. They are usually sold directly when waste products or kept disassembled parts.

Both of them are used copier ,Why is the gap so large?

Taking the United States as an example, the price of electronic products is not very expensive. You can rent a new machine of 35 PCS / min for $500 a month. The contract period is 3-5 years. After the expiration, all machines will be eliminated, and a batch of new machines will be renewed. The used copier are rarely used. Many of the returned used copiers have very little printing volume. They are exported to developing countries through trading companies, and almost no old machines are used in developed countries.

Our domestic users usually repair and mend for many year. By the time the copier should be eliminated, the machine is so rotten that it has no regenerative value. All kinds of machine tools, equipment and electronic products are precious in our country, because they have great utilization value and reduce the pressure of production activities on the environment. There are also two types of machines imported from abroad. A small number of machines with low printing volume are called high-quality machines (the printing volume of 30 sheets is less than 100000 prints), and the rest are ordinary machines (the printing volume of 30 sheets is more than 100000 prints), and high-quality machines account for a small proportion. The price of the used refurbished copier is usually only one fifth of that of the new copier, so the rent is relatively cheap. Compared with the new copier, the threshold is lower and the free consumption will be more.

Let’s make a comparison and see if you should choose a new copier or a used copier for leasing?

Stability: The stability of the new copier is better than that of the used copier
Failure rate: The failure rate of new copier is lower than that of used copier
Ease of use: New copiers are easier to use than used copiers
Cost-effective: used copiers are more cost-effective than new copiers
Practicality: The functional configuration and speed of used copiers at the same rental level are much higher than those of new copiers
Accessories inventory: used copiers have a large inventory of dismantled parts, and new copier accessories have limited inventory due to their high prices.
Replacement: If the used copier fails to be repaired, the machine can be replaced at any time, and the new copier can only be maintained.
Rental: The comprehensive rental price of new machines is more than double that of used machines

Refurbished copier which brand is better

1. The products of first-tier brands, such as Xerox and Canon, do not mean that all their products have the characteristics of first-tier products. On the contrary, they have nearly half of their products, and even the products of third- and fourth-tier brands are inferior. For example, Xerox low-speed machines, especially color low-speed devices, are at the bottom of the market in quality. Canon’s black and white machines are simply unusable, and paper jams will kill you. Fortunately, Canon’s low-speed machine is currently the best. So don’t just look at the brand.

2.Refurbished Copier brands are all American and Japanese. If anyone tells you that his brand is domestic. Sort by technical level: Xerox Canon Ricoh Konica Minolta, otherwise, you can prepare the trash can.

3. Speaking of ease of use, Xerox’s medium-speed machines, especially color ones, have the best effect, high technical density, and large production-type machines. Xerox is in an absolute leading position and is the big brother. It is relatively solid, but you must use the original toner and accessories, otherwise, it is easy to break. The second is Canon, which is said to be the world’s largest seller, with a market share of more than 70%, awesome! His products are relatively good at present, they are still colored, the effect is average, but the stability is good, high-speed machines are not good, medium-speed machines are average, and low-speed machines are very good. Color is better than black and white, and black and white medium-speed machines are basically disabled. Canon’s machines are particularly easy to operate and well-designed. They should be raised as daughters and be a little more squeamish. The price is cheaper than Xerox, and the color effect is also worse.

4. Talk about Konica Minolta, it works very hard. It has made great progress in recent years. From the third camp to the second camp, its production machine has the ability to compete with Xerox, which is very remarkable. , the medium-speed machine is also good, relatively solid, but Konica Minolta’s image processing technology has not been good enough, and the image buffer overflow is the biggest problem. Although the current machine is very good, it is inevitable that there are still some flaws, which does not affect the normal office. use. Konica can operate at low speed, medium speed, or high speed, but the industrial design is too poor, it is not easy to dismantle, and customer participation is low. It feels more reliable than Canon. Konica high-speed machines are rubbish, don’t touch them.

5. Ricoh copier, the design idea is similar to that of Xerox and Canon, but his problem is that the development design is unreasonable, and the powder adding mechanism is not ideal. Go downhill.

6. Other brands, which are not mentioned above, no need to consider.

Recommendation: Konica Minolta is the best choice, low price, good reliability, solid, if it is broken, just find someone to repair it. Next consider the Canon low speed.

Comparison between refurbished copier and used copier

If you’re planning to buy a copier, you might consider a second-hand copier or a refurbished copier, considering the cost-effectiveness.
There are similarities and differences, and the following articles can help you understand the differences between them.

Brand new

Brand-new copiers are purchased directly from authorized dealer channels or official channels, and receive official warranty and technical support. Once there is a problem with the copier, it can be solved directly by official personnel. Brand-new copiers often have a high purchase cost, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions. For example, the mainframe of Konica 6000 has an official reference price of 1.22 million. As a graphic fast printing industry, few can directly buy it. Yes, and financial leasing a new machine may be a good choice.

Used copier

After starting from a new machine, it can become second-hand. There is a wide range of second-hand copiers. There are new machines that become second-hand after being used, and there are second-hand copiers that are used after refurbishing. Strictly speaking, this is not a standard definition and is not used as a reference for description. .

Refurbished copier

Refurbished copiers are screened, cleaned, tested, and refurbished by a third party, not the manufacturer. Most refurbished copiers are less than three years old, come standard with third-party custom standards, and come with third-party warranties. Best of all, these copiers are sold at discounts of up to 90% off their retail price. If you choose this type of copier, you only need to judge the reputation and qualifications of the third party.
