Repair or Replace Printer Contracts

ericjgough • September 10, 2015

What is the importance of a “Repair or Replace” printer contract?

Eventually that day comes when a printer becomes “End of Life” or “End of Support”. It is sad and unfortunate, but even more so when you aren’t prepared for it. So, what do you do in that situation when your printer is no longer supported?

The solution is fairly simple and somewhat obvious even. When a printer meets end of support, the manufacturer has decided that it will no longer provide any support services for that printer. That means that you won’t be able to send your printer in for repair or even have someone come out to repair it on-site. However, while the manufacturer may not support the printer, service companies like MIDCOM sometimes still do!

Why have a printer service plan you ask?

Well, it is pretty simple. First, is to reduce lost productivity. When your printer goes down and it’s not covered, you could wait days for a technician to get onsite. This means your printer will not be producing potentially costing your company thousands of dollars, if you don’t get it up and running quickly.
Second reason is control repair costs. A service call may take many trips and need parts to get your printer back up and running. When you have a printer service plans you don’t pay extra for additional labor or pay for any parts. It’s all included in on price helping you budget better.
Third reason is receiving free professional maintenance tips and information. Printer service plan customers are kept informed and up-to-date on how to keep their printers up and running – through informative emails, videos, blogs and ebooks.
