Should you keep it or replace it?

Running well? Keep it until OKI's support date. A printer from 2013 has done its years, though, so when parts and service calls become a regular thing, move to the C834, the model OKI sells now. Your old one goes out the door in the same changeover (trade in).

Replacing it: how it works

A new C834 is available from us, with secondhand OKI A3 printers alongside it; each is checked, and the page count is in writing. The price includes delivery, network connection and a hands on run through for staff. With a service agreement in place, if the machine fails we replace it, however far into the term.

Rent, lease or pay outright, subject to approval. When a rental term ends you upgrade or hand it back, and selected machines can be rented from $15 a week plus GST.

Four checks before buying secondhand

  • Pages through it. We put the count in writing; on an OKI it says more than the year.
  • Drum and fuser life. Both wear with every page. Ask how much is left on each before you commit.
  • The extras. Additional trays, a stand or a duplex unit each change the work it can take on.
  • Support years left. Ask for OKI's support end date for the model; we give it to you, and we service whatever we sell.

Replacement warranty

What if it fails? We replace it. Any year of the agreement.

If a machine on our service agreement fails, we replace it. That holds for new and secondhand machines alike, and for every way of paying: rental, lease, finance or an outright purchase. The cover lasts as long as the agreement does, every year of it.

A new copier normally carries the maker's warranty for 12 months, covering hardware but not consumables. Once that year is up, the service agreement carries the cover. The full terms of the replacement warranty are written into your agreement.

Questions

Not really. Dealers sold it as the Executive Series version, and OKI kept it on sale one year longer.

Yes, subject to approval. A secondhand OKI can be rented over a term that fits its age, and selected machines start from $15 a week plus GST. Name the model and the figures arrive in writing.
