Essentially, Section 179 works like this:
When a business buys certain items of equipment, like a copier or printer(s) it typically gets to write them off during a (5) year depreciation period. (more…)

You wouldn’t try to run your office outdoors would you? Why not? Because of an uncontrolled environment. So, if a controlled environment is an obvious benefit in that respect, why wouldn’t you want to apply the principle to every aspect of your business.
You control your financial environment through fiscal policy; your work environment through human resources policy, and on and on and on. Now, what if I told you you were hemorrhaging money from an uncontrolled environment in your business.

Over $800 yearly. Those are “hard costs” which include, toner, acquisition costs, machine repair costs.
Here is how that is figured
| Per Page Cost | No of pages printed daily | Total Daily Cost | Total Yearly | |
| Toner/Ink Supplies | 0.020 | 45 | 0.90 | 225 |
| Acquisition | 0.050 | 45 | 2.25 | 562.5 |
| Service | 0.007 | 45 | 0.32 | 78.75 |
| Total | 866.25 |
Surprisingly, hard costs are just a small portion of the true price of printing/copying; representing just 10% of the overall cost. See the bigger picture by going to our previous article.

Know the available device management, remote intelligence, and support.
Studies show that IT professionals spend 15 percent of their time or more dealing with printer or copier problems. Makes sense for IT to have the tools to efficiently manage devices from their desktops. So before you buy that new MFP, be sure you’ll have access to software that will allow IT to remotely troubleshoot, update, install and configure your device or a fleet of devices.
Two outstanding device management software packages are worth mentioning:
1) Hewlett Packard’s WebJet Admin
2) Xerox’s CentreWare Web.
Available as free downloads, both allow IT professionals to manage their printers remotely; minimizing downtime.
Most importantly, be sure you trust the vendor’s quality of service. You’ll need it sometime when all the remote managing didn’t help and the device is down.
