Lease Color Printer Services Q & A 1.) Question: Is a bypass tray required?

Ans: Yes.

2.) Question: What size envelopes are required to be printed?

Ans: 10 and 6 ¾.

3.) Question: How many envelopes are being printed a month?

Ans: Metered count does not distinguish numbers; we print as needed. We also use the envelope feeder for custom size cardstock that required feeder tray inserts, so we don’t just use it for envelopes.

4.) Question: What percentage of jobs are printed utilizing a 5th color?

Ans: It is an image quality enhancement that is used approximately on 30% of the images.

Again the meter is not able to track or distinguish its use is just counts it as color.

5.) Question: Can power be changed from a 60A 240V outlet to multiple 208V 3-phase outlets?

Ans: No.

6.) Question: Would 7 drawers with a total of 9k sheets be sufficient?

Ans: No. we need at least 12k to meet production requirements.
