Copier/Printer Lifecycle Retrofit

Project Summary

  • Bond Allocation: $2,698,000
  • Vendor: TBD
  • Description:
    Provide replacement for an aging fleet of copiers or multifunction printers. This includes replacement of printers that are not supported under Windows 7. The printers will allow district control over power settings, print settings such as duplex printing and detailed reporting.
  • Background/Justification: 
    There are copiers placed in shared work areas throughout the district. These copiers or multi-function printers (MFP) generate approximately 17 million impressions per month. As the MFP reaches its term of life it is no longer functional and warrants replacement. However, age of unit is not the only factor considered at time of replacement. Replacement criteria includes, install dates, total counter clicks, CBCs (Clicks Between Calls for service), number of service calls, location of unit (heavy traffic area…) only unit for department and service technicians recommendations (as they know the units and how well or poorly they are functioning).

    Due to the age, condition and specifications of the district printers, devices that are not performing to current standards would be replaced. Replacing these printers will allow us the ability to control certain aspects of the devices providing insight into what is being printed, power consumption, as well as device settings that can be set at a district level. Over the next couple of years, the district plans to adopt Windows 7 as a standard operating system. A significant number of printers associated with this retrofit are not supported under this operating system.
