Service
[-top-]

To ensure prompt response for all equipment under this program, we are providing the University with 1dedicated service technician.
When you place a service call, a technician will call you within 30 minutes to confirm that your service call has been received. The technician will tell you when he/she will be there. All service calls should be completed within 8 business hours after you place the call, i.e., your copier should be working.

Loaners: If, by chance your copier is not operational within 8 hours and you would like a loaner, one will be provided. You just need to ask your service technician to provide one. Loaner equipment may not be the same model as your copier, but you will be able to produce copies.

FOR SERVICE CALL: 1-800-427-5936 and speak with Gene McGrath or 1-888-830-0282 to place an automated service call. HAVE YOUR COPIER ID# AVAILABLE

Training
[-top-]

Imagistics will coordinate new equipment installation and training with you. Generally this happens at the time your new equipment is installed and no later than 2 business days after.

Your cost-per-copy includes unlimited training throughout the term of the contract. If, at any time, you feel you need additional training (new employees, expanded use of the copier features, etc.) please call us.

We encourage every department to dedicate 1 staff person (or more than 1 person) to be the "Key operator". The key operator will have a more extensive and detailed training session, and will be able to assist others when necessary.

FOR TRAINING CALL: 1-800-427-5936, Paul Davis

Supplies
[-top-]

You should always have at least 1 extra bottle of toner and 1 sleeve of staples for your copier on hand.

Toner: When you order toner, Imagistics will ship 2 bottles at no charge. Imagistics will have a supply of toner in the Bangor office so your order may be delivered by the technician instead of shipped.

If you find yourself in an emergency situation without toner, call your service technician. He/she will make every effort to get you a bottle immediately.

Empty cartridges/bottles may be put into the regular blue or green paper recycling bins in your office or copier room. You do not need to repackage the cartridges/bottles in their original boxes. The recycled paper is collected in clear plastic bags by your custodian and placed outside the building for pick up by the recycling program staff. The recycling staff will collect the bags and separate out the cartridges from the paper and Imagistics will collect them from the recycling office at Facilities Management. . Off campus locations may drop off cartridges/bottles to the Depot at Facilities Management at UMaine.

Staples: Since staples are not included in the cost-per-copy, you will need to order them separately. Copier Models IM3510, IM4510, & IM4720 use staple #794-4 and the cost is $66. Copier Models IM6530 and IM8130 use staple #847-3 and the cost is $80.

If a supply order is placed by 1 p.m. you should receive it, via UPS, the next business day. If by chance you do not receive your order within 2 business days, call your supply representative.

FOR SUPPLIES CALL: 1-800-427-5936, David Webber or Anita Currier. HAVE YOUR COPIER ID# AVAILABLE

Networking
[-top-]

As you are aware, the copiers can be connected to your computer network so you can print directly from your computer. Some models offer fax and/or scan options for a small upcharge. The cost for networking (print only) is included in your .017 cost-per-copy.*

If you are interested in having your copier connected, please contact David Rouleau for information. It is important that you include your department head and computer network technician in networking decisions.

Imagistics has full-time systems engineers to assistance the University with networking.

TO DISCUSS NETWORKING YOUR COPIER CALL:
800-427-5936 (David Rouleau)

*Although networking (print) is included in the cost per copy there may be additional labor charges should you encounter time consuming problems which are the result of University network issues and not copier hardware/software issues. The cost for labor is $110/hour (1st hour at no charge). To network your copier you will need to install a data jack. To have the jack installed please contact Telcom. To activate the jack please contact IT or UNET (whichever one is your network provider). The monthly cost for the jack is approx. $7. All cost for Telcom and IT or UNET are the responsibility of the Department.
