What's actually going on
Copiers are not furniture. They need a professional deinstall, a dedicated circuit and a network drop configured before the move.
Most leases require notification and written consent before equipment changes location.
What to do in the next 48 hours
- 1Notify the leasing company in writing of the new address before the move.
- 2Confirm the new location has the correct dedicated receptacle for the device's power requirement.
- 3Have IT ready the network drop, static address and print queues ahead of delivery day.
- 4Book the deinstall and reinstall as one scheduled job, not two phone calls.
The honest tradeoffs
- A move is the cheapest moment to right-size equipment, because installation is already happening.
- Moving an aging machine into a new space often means replacing it within a year anyway.
