Shortly after contact by the requesting agency, a representative from the Digital Copier Services program can arrange for trials, or demonstrations, of copiers that most closely meet the agency’s needs in terms of features, controls and functions. The trial can be conducted in the copier representative’s sales office and/or on site for several days. If the proposed service is acceptable, the Digital Copier Services program will purchase and install the equipment, provide the required supplies and train the staff. A representative of the program will provide continued support when delivering supplies and obtaining monthly meter readings.

Agencies are billed on a monthly basis through an inter-departmental transfer. The formula utilized for billing is as follows:   (Copier Depreciation + Maintenance + Supply Expense) / (Number of Copies)

An administrative fee of $0.004 per copy is added and the result is the cost per copy for the month. The agency is billed only for the copies that are made, there are no prepaid costs.

The printer depreciation expense is based on the anticipated life of the copier (typically 4 years) and is computed as a straight line monthly expense. For example, if the copier costs $9,000 and the economic life of the copier is four years, the monthly depreciation expense would be $187.50. The maintenance expense is the actual charge from the provider for their service based on monthly usage. The supply expense is based on the actual cost of supplies used. The administrative fee is fixed and will not be increased during the life of the printer/copier.
