Copier Leasing in CT, NY & MA | ABS Xerox Northeast

Copier leasing, explained

Leasing a printer or copier is usually the right move for offices that print thousands of pages a month and want predictable costs. Here is how the lease types compare, what should be included, and the traps that keep offices paying for equipment they no longer want.

Why most businesses lease instead of buy

Predictable cash flow

A fixed monthly payment is easier to budget than a large capital outlay plus surprise repair bills.

Maintenance is included

A service agreement covers toner, drums, fusers, parts and labor. One number, one call.

Refresh every 3 to 5 years

Technology, security and compliance move fast. Leasing lets you upgrade at term end.

Local delivery and setup

A local dealer delivers, installs, networks and trains your team. Remote sellers ship a box.

The three lease structures at a glance

FMV lease

Fair Market Value

Lower monthly payments. Return the equipment, buy it at fair market value, or renew at term end. Best when you plan to refresh technology every few years.

$1 buyout lease

Finance lease

Higher payments because you are paying off the full value. At term end you own the copier for one dollar. Best when you are certain you will keep the device well past the lease term.

LeaseFlex

ABS flexible term

A short initial term with no buried auto-renewal clause. We must earn your business every month. Ideal when your volume or headcount may change.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between FMV and $1 buyout copier leases?

An FMV lease has lower monthly payments and lets you return the equipment at term end. A $1 buyout lease is essentially a financed purchase with higher payments, and you own the device for one dollar at the end.

What happens if I do nothing when my copier lease ends?

Depending on your agreement, many copier leases automatically renew for six to twelve months if written notice is not sent inside the notice window, which is often 90 to 150 days before maturity. Check the notice language in your own contract, since the window and the renewal length vary by lessor.

Should I lease, rent or buy a copier?

Lease for predictable monthly costs and included maintenance. Rent for short-term flexibility. Buy if you plan to keep the same device well past five years and can self-fund repairs.
