By centralizing copier administration, we are able to pass along beneficial discounts to you, including all equipment acquisition, maintenance, and supply costs.
The University strongly recommends that departments acquire a multi-function device (MFD) (i.e. copier that prints, scans and if necessary fax). By acquiring a MFD the department/school minimizes its maintenance spend by eliminating the need to have multiple maintenance contracts for each piece of equipment.
All MFD leases and purchases are managed by Columbia Print through the University’s approved Lessor for office equipment (Ricoh USA, Inc – Current Lessor & Equipment Supplier). Departments/schools are billed by Columbia Print on a monthly basis through IDI eliminating the need for requisitions when acquiring leased or purchased MFD’s through Columbia Print. See instructions below on “How to Order a Copier” to initiate the purchase and/or lease of a MFD.

To qualify for lease, each MFD must meet the following criteria:
-
Each lease must have a minimum order value of $2,500 per equipment cost and per location.
-
Lease Term will be based on equipment values:
a. Equipment with values of $2,500 - $34,999 will be at a maximum term of three (3) years.
b. Equipment with values over $35,000 will be at a maximum term of four (4) years. -
It is not advantageous to lease office equipment for periods longer than four (4) years due to wear and tear and rapidly changing technology.
