  2.  
  3. Customers with two 2680s can reduce support and consumables costs by
  4. upgrading to an F100 as shown below.  These savings cover part of the
  5. capital costs for upgrading from the 2680 to the F100.

  27. In the targeted 500K -1M pages/month design center for the F100, the
  28. operating cost savings can offset 25-40% of the cost of upgrading from
  29. the 2680 to the F100.  Also, because the 2680 is near the end of it's
  30. support life, support price increases can be expected as repair parts
  31. become scarce and as the machines become increasingly more difficult
  32. (costly) to support.

  53. In the calculations shown above, 2680s are assumed to be fully
  54. depreciated due to their age in the installed base.  A monthly
  55. depreciation charge of $2,930 is used for the F100.  This price is based
  56. on a 5 year straight line depreciation method with a 10% salvage value.
