Office Equipment

What stores come to your mind when thinking about buying a new printer? 

A few stores might pop into your mind. But if it’s based on retail sales from last year, then Office Depot was likely the first one you thought of.  

According to the National Retail Federation, Office Depot was ranked 75th out of the top 100 (and the first office supplier) in 2021 U.S. retail sales, just behind Petco and just ahead of Victoria’s Secret.  

Page coverage, which is the amount of toner or ink on a page, is one of the most important things you can learn about your printer/copier.  

It is a huge determinator of how much you will spend on printer cartridges throughout the lifespan of your machine.  

But, in all honesty, it’s a confusing concept for most to understand. However, the importance of page coverage cannot be overstated. 

That’s why we want to use our expertise to tackle the topic of page coverage in a simple and easily digestible way. 

No matter what the product is, you always want to get the best price possible for it. When it comes to printers/copiers, the same logic applies. 

It’s actually hard to believe how expensive even a simple office printer can cost nowadays. At the basic level, printers can cost around $1,000; at the advanced level, they can cost as much as $30,000 or more. 

As a printer/copier company for almost 40 years, we’ve learned that cost is the most concerning factor for customers in the market for a new machine. And we always want to find ways to make it less of a concern for consumers. 

Did you know that some printers/copiers can range from $1,000-$100,000? 

That makes it all the more significant that you get the right office machine in place for your company the first time around. Because wasting money on an insufficient machine can be significantly costly and frustrating.  

The number one thing you can do to make sure you get the right printer in place for your company is to educate yourself on all you need to consider before purchasing a new machine. 

We’ve accumulated a vast amount of knowledge during our almost 40 years in the printer/copier industry, and thus, have become intimately familiar with all that goes into finding the perfect printer. 

If you’ve purchased, or plan to purchase, a Xerox machine and want to include managed print services, then you will need to become familiar with the Xerox Device Agent (XDA). 

The XDA is essential to understand if you want to enable services like automatic shipments of supplies, such as toner or ink cartridges, and receive detailed reports on usage levels. 

But what exactly is the XDA? And how do you install it on your network and add your devices to it?
