How many people can share it?

The straight answer on size: thirty or more people, or a dedicated print room. Printing less? The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i at 50 pages per minute may be all you need.

Which grade, and how do you pay?

Three grades. Renewed is the top one: more parts replaced, close to new, and priced above refurbished. Refurbished means cleaned, serviced, worn parts replaced and tested, and it is the grade most people choose. Used is checked and working, for the lowest outlay. Whichever imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i you pick, the page count is in writing before you commit, and delivery, network connection, scanning set up and a hands on run through for staff are in the price.

Whatever we sell, we service, and this imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i is no exception. On a service agreement, one that fails is swapped for a working machine during the term. Rental on selected machines is priced from $15 a week plus GST, once finance is approved.

Four checks before buying secondhand

• The meter reading. Pages printed so far, in writing. That number beats the build year as a guide to wear.
• What comes with it. Extra trays, a finisher, a big paper deck: each one alters the work it can take and the figure on the quote.
• Who looks after it. We do not sell a machine we cannot service, because a copier nobody can fix is no bargain.
• Running cost. Get the mono and colour rates per page in writing, plus what each rate covers.
