Office equipment and other electronics aren’t built to last forever, and at some point your printer, fax, scanner of MFP’s are going to start to slow down, act up, and cost you money. If that time is now, consider the office equipment trade in process to maximize your investment and upgrade your network printing equipment. Here are some answers to six of the most common questions surrounding this process.
1. What about my existing lease agreement? Agreements vary between vendors, so you’ll want to review the terms and conditions of yours before you begin. Most are flexible when it comes to equipment upgrades, but be sure to check for information regarding early lease termination.
2. What types of equipment can I trade in, and what is it worth? The value of your current machines will depend on several factors, including their overall condition, the quality of the print output and the amount of impressions on the engine of the printer. You will be able to trade most MFP’s, printers, faxes, scanners and copiers in for an upgraded version.
3. Will I need to sign a new lease, or pay for the new equipment? This will depend on the specifics of the trade, typically the answer here is yes.
4. How does the office equipment trade in process work? Your future needs will be based on the unique workings of your business, and your existing equipment will be inventoried and valued accordingly.
5. Is this process common? Yes, current estimates show that in excess of 80 percent of all print equipment is traded in, which is great for the environment and the economy. Newer machines are more energy efficient, environmentally responsible and productive, making the trade in process a win-win proposition for all partied involved.
6. What if no one wants my used equipment? Your used equipment will then be responsibly recycled or if it’s still usable, donated to a charitable or non-profit organization.
Don’t waste any more time trying to work around office equipment that doesn’t work for you. The office equipment trade in process is easier than you think, and your new, upgraded printing network will help to increase employee productivity, reduce energy costs and have a positive affect your bottom line.
