Excellent Customer Service. When you call, they answer the phone and you don’t have a waiting time. Every time I call for toner cartridges, they have them same day & I usually go pick up since they are nearby. If not, they ship to me & I’ll have product within a week. When you call for maintenance on their machines, they can accommodate Same Day Service. They are an awesome company & have been doing business with them since 2006 in Uniontown, PA.

Corey and Keanan from Ford Office Technologies came out to our office today to install a new copier/printer. They also had to install drivers on the entire staff’s laptops. They were fast, friendly and super helpful. We are grateful for how easy they made this transition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between an MFP (multifunction printer) and a copier, and which is right for my business?
The main difference between a traditional copier and a Multifunction Printer (MFP), also known as an all-in-one printer, comes down to their capabilities. A standard copier is primarily built for copying and printing documents. However, when you add extra features like scanning, faxing, and sometimes even email or advanced document finishing, that's when it transforms into a versatile MFP. Choosing between a dedicated copier and an MFP for your business really depends on your specific operational needs and goals. Do you mainly need high-volume copying, or are you looking to streamline your entire document workflow with scanning to email, digital archiving, and more? Let's discuss which multifunction device is the perfect fit for your business. Call Ford Office Technologies today at 800-633-3673 to begin the conversation.
How much does it cost to lease or buy a business copier/MFP for optimal office productivity?
The cost to lease or buy a business copier/MFP can vary quite a bit, depending on several key factors like: • Whether you need color printing or monochrome. • The required print speed (pages per minute). • Any advanced add-on features (e.g., stapling, hole punching). • Your typical monthly print volume. For instance, a small office copier/MFP with basic copying and printing, and a low monthly volume (under 10,000 copies), might cost around $2,500 to purchase. As your volume and feature needs grow, prices can go up to approximately $80,000 for high-volume businesses (up to 100,000 copies per month) that require premium features like speeds up to 80 pages per minute, full-color capabilities, faxing, and document finishing options. When it comes to leasing a copier/MFP, monthly costs can range from about $50 to $1,000 (without a service contract). These lease prices are influenced by current interest rates, your business's credit score, the lease term, and any included services. Ford Office Technologies is here to help you navigate these options and find a copier/MFP solution that perfectly fits both your budget and your specific print requirements. Call us at 800-633-3673 to schedule an appointment.
What features are essential in a business copier/MFP for optimal office productivity?
While every business is unique, there are several essential features in a business copier/MFP that commonly contribute to optimal office productivity and efficient document management. The most frequently sought-after capabilities include: • High-speed scanning: Crucial for digitizing documents quickly. • Faxing: Still important for many industries. • Color printing: For impactful presentations and marketing materials. • High-capacity paper feeders: To handle large print jobs without constant reloading. • Automatic duplexing: For double-sided printing and scanning. Beyond these, many advanced features can be added to your multifunction device, such as stapling, hole punching, or even integration with cloud services. The best way to ensure your copier/MFP is designed to meet your current and future needs is to have a detailed conversation with one of our sales representatives. We'll help you establish your usage requirements, address any concerns, and define your long-term goals. Call Ford Office Technologies today at 800-633-3673 to schedule an appointment and start the conversation about your ideal business MFP features.

Our aim is to ensure your equipment runs smoothly with minimal downtime. Our standard maintenance agreement is designed to be quite inclusive, covering: • Consumables: Like toner and developer. • Parts: For necessary repairs. • Labor: For typical equipment repairs and service calls.

How can MFPs /copiers help my business improve document security and protect sensitive information?
Enhancing document security and protecting sensitive information is a top priority for any business, especially those in vulnerable sectors like healthcare, education, and finance. Modern MFPs and copiers come equipped with robust features designed to safeguard your data. To truly boost your printer security and ensure data protection, we strongly recommend implementing dedicated security software alongside your devices. This software, combined with built-in MFP capabilities, can provide crucial layers of protection, including: • Data encryption: Scrambling data to prevent unauthorized access. • User authentication: Requiring PINs, ID cards, or biometrics for access. • Firewalls: Protecting your device from network threats. • Automatic security updates: Ensuring your firmware is always protected against new vulnerabilities. • Secure print release (pull printing): Documents are only printed when the authorized user is physically at the device. • Hard drive overwrite/data wiping: Securely erasing data stored on the device's internal memory. For even more detailed insights on safeguarding your MFPs and copiers and preventing unauthorized access, we encourage you to read our article: "How to Avoid Printer Identity Theft."
Can Ford Office Technologies help with setting up and integrating a new copier/MFP into our existing network and IT infrastructure?
Absolutely! When you purchase a new copier/MFP from Ford Office Technologies, we handle the entire installation and setup process to ensure it’s seamless. Our service includes: • Delivery of your new equipment • Professional installation • Connecting your equipment to your office network • Ensuring your new copier/MFP is fully functioning before we leave We even cover any service call fees for network connectivity issues that arise within the first three weeks after installation.

To learn more about purchasing a copier/MFP and our included installation services, please call Ford at 800-633-3673.
What are the ongoing costs of consumables (toner, drums) for copiers/MFPs, and how can I manage them effectively?
Beyond the initial purchase price, it's important to understand the ongoing costs for a copier/MFP, which can vary based on the specific make and model. The most significant recurring expenses come from consumables like toner cartridges. For black and white, these typically range from $80 to $200, while color cartridges can be $100 to $250 each. You'll also need to budget for other frequently replaced printer parts such as fuser units, imaging drums, and waste toner containers, which can cost anywhere from $35 to $300. Additionally, if issues arise, there might be hourly labor charges for troubleshooting or repairs. A highly effective way to manage these unpredictable expenses and control your copier/MFP's total cost of ownership (TCO) is by opting for a maintenance contract. These contracts bundle your consumables, parts, and labor into a predictable monthly fee. These monthly fees typically range from $55 for standard models to $350 for high-end models, making your overall printing budget much more stable and affordable. To discuss a maintenance contract for your copier/MFP and simplify your ongoing costs, give us a call today at 800-633-3673.
How do Managed Print Services (MPS) apply to MFPs and copiers, and what are the benefits for my business?
Managed Print Services (MPS) is a strategic way to optimize and manage your entire fleet of MFPs and copiers under one streamlined, unified contract. In essence, it simplifies your printing operations significantly and often results in considerable cost savings for your business.
With MPS, you receive a convenient monthly invoice that typically covers all your consumables (like toner), parts, and labor for repairs. Additionally, we can integrate remote monitoring software across your entire copier and MFP fleet. This advanced technology provides several key benefits:
• Enhanced security: Proactively protecting your devices and data.
• Automated remote reporting and alerts: Such as automatic toner reordering before you run out.
• Collection of user usage data: Giving you a complete, accurate picture of your printing environment to help identify areas for greater efficiency
and cost reduction.
Ultimately, Managed Print Services for MFPs and copiers helps your business gain better control over its printing, reduce waste, and significantly improve the overall efficiency of your document output.

Do you offer color MFPs/copiers, and what are the considerations for choosing between color and monochrome devices?
Absolutely! Ford Office Technologies offers a wide selection of both color MFPs/copiers and monochrome (black and white) devices from a variety of manufacturers and across different price ranges. When deciding between color and monochrome copiers, here are some key considerations: • Cost: Monochrome devices generally have lower upfront costs and cheaper per-page printing. Color printing is more expensive, especially for consumables. • Usage Needs: Do you regularly print marketing materials, presentations, or documents where color is essential for clarity and impact? Or are most of your documents internal, text-heavy reports? • Default Settings: A great feature of many color MFPs is the ability to set black and white as the default, allowing users to manually select color only when truly needed. This helps you control color printing expenses while still having the capability. • Impact: Color can significantly enhance readability and retention, making documents more engaging. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your business's specific needs for visual impact versus cost efficiency. For more information on our color copier/MFP options and to help determine which is right for you, give us a call today at 800-633-3673.
