Tags: , , , ,

Want to see the future? The tips below will help with your Las Vegas copier!

Having a Las Vegas copier has its challenges to be sure, and one we want to help you avoid is networking a Las Vegas copier for scanning. There are easy parts and hard parts about scanning documents right to your computer or email especially on a Las Vegas copier. So to take the guesswork out of it, have it done by a professional. You may wonder why it’s not included in installation, and the simple answer is because no one wants to do the work of networking a Las Vegas copier for scanning. If that wasn’t part of your initial agreement, here are a few tips on how to best prepare and make it cheaper for you:

  • IT personnel need to be available, no ifs ands or buts.
  • Passwords available and a good idea of who gets scanning capability
  • Good coffee for the person doing the work never hurts
  • IP addresses of computers to scan to–IT should be on top of it

Just these few simple preparatory steps will make the experience much nicer for everyone involved, and could very well cut your labor charge in half. See? Networking a Las Vegas copier doesn’t have to be that hard!

Copier Leases – Yes We Can Do That

Don't Let Copier Reps Cast a Spell on Your Botton Line!!

“Fear and Copier Leasing in Las Vegas” is a production coming to you soon in Las Vegas! Doesn’t sound very appealing though does it? Unfortunately, leasing has gotten a bad rap because of sneak things in the lease like raising prices xx% per year of the lease so that by the last year you are paying up to and over 50% MORE. Leasing doesn’t have to be a fearful process, and it’s nice when the lease is clearly laid out and every number accounted for.

Unfortunately for you in Las Vegas, it is rarely like that. But if you learn more about these tricky deals, leasing can actually keep a lot of money in your pocket. You will spend over the course of the lease, but it takes out having to spend $30,000 on office equipment your first year in business. While leases themselves aren’t evil, and can be very convenient with service, supplies, etc they must be looked at with a discriminating eye by a professional in your Las Vegas organization who deals with finances. Leases can even have tax benefits, and be something that you only think about every 5 years. But just know what you’re getting into, and leasing in Las Vegas doesn’t have to be fear and loathing!

What is "Coverage"

Color Toner Cartridges

Do you have a color copier?  Are you looking at getting a color copier in Las Vegas?   If you have a color copier or you are going to be getting a color copier, you need to know about “coverage.” So, what is coverage and how does it affect your copier in Las Vegas?

Before you look at the page and start trying to guage what your color coverage is, you need to understand what the copier manufacturers think it is.  Essentially, a copier manufacturer will tell you that you can have way over 100% color coverage.  How can this be?

  • There are 4 toner cartridges which are in a printer and the fact is you can get close to 380% or more (100% of each color)
  • As you lay down colors that are mixed, a color copier does not use less of the mixed colors, but actually overlays it.

Before you print a ton of color, make sure you are not going to  get billed an “upcharge” if your color percentage is over 20% coverage.

Xerox Color Copier

Have you been thinking about getting a color copier in Las Vegas and you also are thinking that a Black and White would do the trick…  So you asked around and found the more you asked, the more confused about which is better you got?  One rep said you don’t need it, the other copier rep in Las Vegas said you did.  So, how can you determine if you actually need a color copier in Las Vegas?  Should you just buy a Black and White copier in Las Vegas?

Here are a few things to think through before you make your copying purchase decision in Las Vegas.

  • What would you want to print in color?  Is it E mails and maps?  If not, how are those going to be prevented from being printed in color?  Are you going to set all the defaults in Black and White or just not load drivers for everyone?
  • Do you mind if people make a mistake and print in color that you are going to pay 6 to 8 times more?  Maybe that’s fine because your people are pretty meticulous…  Just decide if that’s OK or not.
  • Are you OK with having a few more service calls for the increased versatility you gain by having a color device over a monochrome device?

If you answer those 3 simple questions, you will be well on the way to deciding if you need a color copier in Las Vegas or just a monochrome copier in Las Vegas.

Why Copier Companies Want High Base Contracts…

Some Contracts for Copiers Should be a Crime!

We deal with companies who like simplicity.  They want a simple flat rate for their services because they are easier to budget for this way.  Often times, their copier contracts in Las Vegas are no different.  We work hard to try and educate our customers of the dangers of just signing up for copier plans, however, some people don’t really care.  Maybe it’s because we dob’t always deal with the business owners themselves.  Let’s look at an example:

Meet Jill, a hardworking admin assistant for a law firm in Las Vegas.  She is busy with many tasks from helping with interrogatives to scheduling new clients.  Her day is full.  The firm’s copier contracts are coming up (they have 5 copiers) and she has been given the job of finding new copiers for their Las Vegas law firm.

Jill knows she doesn’t know copiers well.  She doesn’t have the time to learn a whole new industry.  She calls around, and it seems to get more complicated.  Jill will be a target for a rep who promises simplicity because Jill does not have time to do real analysis.  So, what happens is several companies will offer contracts with overages, etc and then a contract with “unlimited” prints comes across her desk. Sure it’s $80 more a month per copier, but by the time they pay for all of these overages on their copier in Las Vegas… won’t it be the same?

The short answer is no.  When the “unlimited contract” is formulated, it is done so with “worst case” in mind.  If you don’t have the worst case…  then you are paying too much!  In this case, it’ll probably work out to be about $250 per month for 60 months, or a measly $15,000!

Consider a New Approach to Las Vegas Copier Purchasing!

How are You Making Your Las Vegas Copier Decisions?

How are You Making Your Las Vegas Copier Decisions?

It is human nature to do the same things we have been doing and not try to use new approaches because often the new approach can bite us and the predictable methods yields predictable results.  Most people aproach their copier purchasing in Las Vegas in this way.  They use the same methods to purchase a copier in Las Vegas as they did in 1988.

The process generally works like this:

  • Start with a copier the sales rep pushed at the beginning of the business.
  • Sign up for a 5 year contract
  • At year 4 and 1/2 the copier rep calls with a “free upgrade” – company takes this “free upgrade” and waits another 4.5 years..
  • etc..

What is the issue with this method?  The primary issue is that very few copier reps in Las Vegas will look at workflow, they will just sell a copier in Las Vegas without really taking the time to see what you need.  So, when they recommend a replacement, they often look at what you have, not what you need.  This means you could be spending too much on copiers 4 or 5 times if you don’t break the cycle…  this can cost your Las Vegas company thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars!

If you would like to break this cycle and meet with one of our document imaging consultants, please give us a call for a copier in Las Vegas today!
