WHAT IS THE METER ON THAT USED COPIER
I have been buying used copiers for a long time from wholesalers who buy in bulk from leasing companies. Then companies like mine buy a few to refurbish and resell or lease. The first question I always ask is, “What is the meter reading?”
This is one of the most important criteria. Depending on the size of the copier there are certain limits to stay within. For example, on a smaller office type copier anything under 300K is good. There are some exceptions to that though which I won’t go into at this time. If it’s a really large copier; anything under a million is good because they are built to go to several million where the smaller copiers are pretty much pooped out at a million.
If you are buying a copier privately, you will need to look for the meter. If you aren’t sure where it is call us and we will help you. You will need to plug it in though since most meters are electronic.
Another criteria is the age of the copier. It really does no good to buy a low metered copier if it’s really old because copier manufacturers quit making parts after seven years. However, it’s also risky to get a three year old copier if the meter is already over the limits I mentioned earlier. It will still work; you just will have an above number of service calls.
