Billing Strategy
Billing Strategy
By charging departments for printer and copier use, the Technology Department maintains a self-sustaining "copier fund" which covers the following expenses:
- Purchase or lease of copiers and printers
- Copier and printer service/maintenance contracts
- Consumables such as toner and staples
- Paper
Secondary goals include reducing waste and decreasing costs by incentivizing double-sided printing and providing direct user feedback about the cost of a print job.
