That all depends on how well they have been maintained in the past. You will need to gets manuals for all of those models. Go out to the site and do a service inventory on all of them. You need more than just copy counts, you need SMC reports and for those that have a separate pm counter section in service mode, you will need those reports. The copy counts look alright. The C4501 looks like the color to b/w ration is quite high. For that machine they might be better off with a production color machine. Except for the 161 and 171, counts appear to be getting close or just after a PM service. If they are close, you might want to have the customer pay part of the cost for the first PM.
