When considering a refurbished printer or MFP (Multifunction Printer), here are some specific aspects to consider for these types of equipment:
1. Refurbished Printers
Printer Type: Make sure you know the type of printer you need (laser, inkjet, etc.) and its specifications (resolution, print speed, paper handling capability).
Hardware Status: Verifies that the printer has been thoroughly inspected and reconditioned, with internal parts such as the drum, rollers, and cartridges replaced if necessary.
Warranty and Support: Look for a reasonable warranty and good after-sales support to resolve any issues.
2. Refurbished MFPs (Multifunction Printers)
Features: MFPs offer multiple features such as printing, copying, scanning, and sometimes faxing. Make sure all of these features are fully operational after repackaging.
Consumables: Checks the status of supplies, such as toner or ink cartridges, and the availability of replacement parts.
Connectivity: Make sure that the refurbished equipment supports the connection methods you need (USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, etc.).
3. Benefits of Refurbished Equipment
Cost: Remanufactured MFPs and printers typically cost less than new ones, while still offering the same or similar performance.
Ecology: Opting for remanufactured equipment contributes to the reduction of electronic waste and environmental impact.
4. Selection Criteria
Supplier Reputation: Choose a supplier that is reputable for the quality of its remanufactured equipment. Reviews from other customers and recommendations can help you make an informed choice.
History and Overhaul: Requests information about the history of the equipment and the revisions performed. A good supplier will provide details on repairs and updates.
Trial and Demo: If possible, ask for a demonstration or test drive of the equipment before purchase to verify that it meets your expectations.
By taking these elements into account, you will be able to choose remanufactured equipment that will meet your needs while offering good value for money.
