Purchasing a photocopier or multifunction printer for your office is a large upfront expense.
Renting and leasing tend to fall under the umbrella term in the industry called Managed Print Services. These services come in a variety of plans, where a monthly price covers the cost of the equipment, consumables, preventative maintenance, breakdown servicing, and the ongoing account management of your business's printing usage and needs.
Very few businesses in the Sydney metropolitan area purchase photocopiers and multifunction printers outright. Leasing a photocopier or multifunction printer eliminates the need for a large capital outlay, allowing you to retain funds for investment into the business. The small monthly payments are also tax deductible.
On this page, we'll cover everything you need to know about renting or leasing a photocopier for your business, including the benefits, brands we supply, our process and some frequently asked questions.
Top 10 Benefits of Leasing or Renting a Machine Under a Managed Print Service:

Photocopier Brands for Rental/Lease
Axia Office offers a wide variety of photocopiers and multifunction printers from the leading brands in the industry to suit every business requirement
Axia is one of the major dealerships of Canon photocopiers and printers in Sydney. Canon recently won the BLI 2022 A3 Line of the Year and the BLI 2020 Copier MFP Line of the Year awards from Keypoint Intelligence.
Canon photocopiers and printers are constantly being updated to provide cutting-edge solutions to business’s needs. For instance, with many companies scanning more and printing less, Canon’s DX (digital transformation) series put an emphasis on their updated document feeders and scanning units to be some of the fastest and most reliable in the industry.
Learn MoreFor over 20 years Axia has recommended Sharp multifunction printers because of their reliability, ease of use, quality and continued innovation.
Sharp photocopiers and printers are highly reliable and have enhanced standard functions over many other brands. For example, the MX line includes a number of features often optional extras with other brands, such as Follow-Me print, link to cloud services and document OCR capability to turn your scans into editable files.
Learn MoreEpson is the industry leader in inkjet technology, which provided exceptional print-quality and speed while also being eco-friendly.
Unlike laser devices, they do not have to heat up toner to print and can therefore print at speeds in excess of 100 pages per minute with ease. This also means there is far less heat radiation and energy used by their products, making Epson a great choice for any business looking to reduce their eco footprint.

1. Review
An Axia account manager will contact you to find out more about your print and business requirements, as well as review your current equipment, usage, and costs.
Your account manager may visit your business for a site visit with one of your staff to view all printing devices used, where they're located, the staff who use them & how they are being used (e.g. larger or smaller print jobs, colour documents, how documents are scanned, etc.).
2. Analysis
We’ll calculate the true operating cost of printing to your business, what finance options would work best, and any payouts that we need to include.
To complete this task accurately, we'll need help from your accounts staff: usage reports will be needed from each machine to calculate how many pages are printed, copied and scanned; and for equipment already under a service plan/agreement, we'll need to review those contracts plus at least 3 recent monthly invoices.
3. Solution
We'll submit a detailed report of our findings for your review; once you've approved our findings, we'll submit our customised and complete proposal, including brand new equipment, finance options and service – all compared to your current costs.
When you're ready to implement the plan, we'll set up all devices and users, including delivery, installation and training.
4. Monitoring
Your toner will be remotely monitored and delivered prior to your needing it, and you'll receive fast, ongoing support and scheduled preventative maintenance throughout the duration of the agreement.
Your account manager will continue to regularly review your account and work with you to identify opportunities to reduce costs and add value to your business — leaving you free to concentrate on your business.
