| HOC Digital loan your school a multi-functional device (MFD) that will print, copy, scan (to email and folder) and fax (if required). There is no capital outlay. |
| You only pay for what you use. |
| We provide a complete support package. This includes all emergency callouts, labour, spare parts and toner. A target service response of four hours and routine preventative maintenance are standard. |
HOC Digital can supply multi-functional devices (MFDs)
free of any capital costs to schools.
This allows schools to make use of and benefit from the equipment
without the need to employ their capital expenditure budgets.
HOC Digital can provide vital equipment without all the
extra added costs normally associated with MFDs. This will
enable all our customers to use the funds saved in other more
important areas and on more valuable resources.
Note: There is a one-off charge of £250.00 (two hundred and fifty pounds) in
respect of delivery, installation and the training of users by one of our
fully qualified engineers.
MFDs are supplied on a free loan basis for three years.
There is no minimum volume required on any standard photocopier.
All finishers will be included at no extra cost. We will also provide
user codes for individuals or departments if necessary.
The equipment can be upgraded or downgraded at any time to a machine
considered more suitable to requirements, without penalty.
A complete support package.
The cost per copy charge not only covers the cost of the free machine
but also covers the service back up.
The service back up includes all emergency callouts, labour, spare parts and toner.
The target for service response is four hours and routine preventative maintenance
is also an essential part of the service package.
Equipment training is provided upon installation, and is available on an
ongoing basis.
You only pay for what you use.
Our primary goal with The Free Copiers for Schools Programme
is to achieve cost effectiveness -
for all participants.
This is done by removing capital outlay or cumbersome
leasing contracts.
Background to the Programme.
The Free Copiers for Schools Programme was initially set up as a pilot project
to investigate the feasibility of providing equipment
to schools free of charge, that would be self financing,
and would allow the school to make better use of budgeted capital.
This was to be achieved by the company absorbing the equipment
cost within the copy charge, and the school producing the volume
of copying to make it possible.
The pilot project has proved so successful that HOC Digital
have now created a division solely dedicated to the provision
of free copiers for schools.
