- Appendix - LaserJet IIISi Cost-of-Ownership Data
-
-
- The upfront purchase prices for the LaserJet IIISi and F100 shown
- earlier were based on the following configuration. Because the F100
- includes 16Mb of graphics memory, we have added additional memory to the
- LaserJet IIISi to provide a comparable capability.

- Shown below is a breakdown of the costs customers incur for each
- incremental page printed on a LaserJet IIISi and an F100. Support costs
- on an F100 are divided into a constant monthly support component and a
- component that is proportional to the number of pages printed (the
- "click" charge). On any printer, many key components "wear out" as the
- printer is operated. With the F100, these parts are replaced in
- preventative maintenance operations at pre-defined usage intervals
- (e.g., the print drum is replaced every 600K pages). This click charge
- captures the added support costs for customers that more heavily use the
- printer.
-
- LaserJets are designed to minimize support requirements, but not to
- optimize cost at high print volumes. For example, the toner cartridge
- includes several key parts (in addition to toner) which "wear out" with
- printer use. As a result, as customer change toner cartridges, they are
- actually changing the parts of a LaserJet that wear out frequently.
- However, toner cartridges are very expensive due to the inclusion of
- these parts. For a high volume, centralized print application, the cost
- of toner cartridges dominates the total cost of ownership for a
- LaserJet.

- Cost-of-Ownership for a customer with a 250,000 average print volume are
- calculated over the 5 year target lifetime of the printers adding
- depreciation, monthly support, and per page operating costs. Notice at
- this large print volume how the high per/page printing costs of the
- LaserJet IIISi (for toner cartridges) result in a more expensive print
- solution to operate over the lifetime of the product.
