Strategic Goals for Print Service
- To facilitate cost savings and improved productivity directly to Botany members and associates, we provide centrally managed print services.
- As a long term benefit, this service aims to reduce overall energy consumption while simultaneously offering users a high quality and efficient alternative to personal desktop printers.
Cost Recovery Formula
The instruction from the Botany Administrative Director for print services cost recovery is that we should be revenue neutral. Therefore, only the bare costs associated with print services are transferred to end users. There are four components to the cost:
- cost for implementation of the PaperCut system
- equipment rental costs for the multifunction printers
- cost per printed page as billed by Xerox
- paper and other consumable cost
Base on usage data from Fiscal Year 2015, we decide to keep our price at 7 cents for each black/white printout and 12 cents for each color printout. As a policy, we review the price each year to ensure that end users enjoy the best price. Note that whenever the monthly printing volume increases, the cost per page to users decreases (assuming no changes to equipment rental costs), which means that if more users adopt the department print service in favour of their own desktop printers, we can provide better prices for everyone.
Note:
- “Scan to Email” service is free
- Fax service is no longer provided through any of these multi-functional printers. Please contact the Botany main office for details
