    canon contract consumables

    could I have some professional input regarding acceptable contract definitions with our Canon C1+ - recently found out that the developer housings that were installed are now classified as "consumables" and was billed $1200 for the housings - since the signed contract states "consumables" not specifically naming items - I made the natural assumption that toner was not included but all service related items and tech installed items would be covered - any input from the field would be helpful - many thanks in advance

    do not let tech order those dev. units
    have the tech do a Starter Change
    if tech refuses / find one who will
    Tech can do developer changes on these units / it saves u money


    Start Developer
    IPQ-1 STARTER BLACK #0401B001AA
    IPQ-1 STARTER CYAN #0402B001AA
    IPQ-1 STARTER MAGENTA #0403B001AA
    IPQ-1 STARTER YELLOW #0404B001AA

      Here in Europe the dev unit is not that much more that the starter bottle so its cheaper just to fit the unit as it saves time....which costs money

        True!
        If it ain't broke, don't fix it
        A picture is worth a thousand words

          Customers are more likely to have starter on hand than the Dev units that have to be ordered/ all machines that starter can be changed , customer required to have on hand -just like toner
          & keeping Dev. units in stock effects inventory, no matter what the cost

          customers don't have time to wait in USA for parts delivery /
