PRINTER SETUP PROCEDURES

APPENDIX 1 – SELECTING THE PROPER PRINTER

It is generally more economical to purchase a network printer that supports large capacity toner

cartridges over a non-network printer that only takes the smaller cartridges. Though the cost of

the large cartridge printer may be more than the cheaper printers, the savings in cartridge costs

when using the large cartridges could quickly compensate for the initial cost difference. The

smaller printer cartridges cost approximately 2/3 of the larger cartridges and output about half of

the printed pages.

While smaller sites with few computers may fare well with the cheaper printers, larger sites with

many computers, that may also be open several days a week during the season, will most certainly

find the larger cartridge printers will save on cartridge replacement costs.

Examine your current set of printers and evaluate the options for acquiring the most economical

printer solution:

• Does the printer support networking – wired and/or wireless?

• Evaluate where you can use larger toner cartridges with your existing set of

printers – do your printers accept both large and small cartridges?

• Can you add a print server to an existing non-network printer that supports large

toner cartridges?

• Use your network printers at appropriate sites

• How many large toner cartridges does it take to offset the additional cost of a

network printer?

• Determine the manufacturer’s recommended printer rating for the number of pages

per month

• What is the proper selection for sites that currently utilize many printers

o Multiple printers (shared or individual)

o Network printer with larger toner cartridge

• Determine the lifetime costs of

o More expensive printers which may have lower cartridge costs

o Cheaper printers which may have more expensive cartridge costs

The following table can be used as a guide for yield comparisons for some of the more popular

Tax-Aide printers.
