Across Bass Strait on a single agreement
According to Wikipedia, the North Esk and the South Esk meet at Launceston to form the Tamar.
The river then runs about 70 kilometres north to Low Head on Bass Strait.
A group with a Melbourne head office often has branches on both banks of that river.
Each one can end up with its own copier contract.
What does managed print mean for a northern Tasmanian branch?
Managed print services in Launceston joins each Tasmanian branch to your mainland agreement.
Every branch receives a printer matched to its volume.
That printer carries a monthly plan, with a page report for the branch.
See what a Tasmanian branch plan includes
A branch still on a copier lease can compare a Tamar branch lease with a managed plan.
One contract and one invoice, with a report for every branch.
Printers are still chosen branch by branch.
A busy Launceston practice and a two desk Burnie office need different machines.
The same phone number covers both.

Northern Tasmanian towns a branch list often holds
Each name here is an example, because every Tasmanian address is serviced.
Along the Tamar
Launceston, at the head of the river.
George Town near the mouth, and Beaconsfield in the West Tamar.
Scottsdale and Deloraine lie inland to the east and west.
The north west coast
According to Wikipedia, Devonport lies at the mouth of the Mersey River.
Ulverstone and Penguin between Devonport and Burnie.
Burnie, then Wynyard further west.
The south joins too, with a Hobart office planned beside the north.
Add it to the form.
Its branch is booked through the same queue.
What the water changes for a Tasmanian branch, and what it leaves alone
According to Wikipedia, Launceston is Tasmania's second largest city.
For service it still counts as a regional address.
A technician is generally on site in Launceston, Devonport or Burnie the next business day.
A Hobart office, being a capital city address, generally sees one within 4 hours.
The agreement does not write either time down as a term.
A replacement printer crosses to Tasmania by sea freight.
The plan itself does not move with the water.
A Devonport branch with 2,000 mono and 200 colour pages each month suits the Professional plan, just as a Melbourne branch would.
A branch round the bay at Geelong takes those same three plans.
From $160 + GST a month per printer.
Standard plans, tailored to your fleet. Excess page rates are stated in your quote and are normally the same at every location.
Paper, staples and pages above your agreed volume sit outside that figure.
When a printer stops in Launceston or on the coast
The branch rings us before anyone else.
Who repairs a printer in Devonport or Burnie, and how soon?
Who comes
An authorised dealer or the manufacturer, booked by us.
Burnie is booked through the queue that books Launceston.
No repairer invoices the branch.
The branch gives us the printer and the fault.
Its plan stays as quoted.
Melbourne and Hobart offices are handled in exactly the same way.
How soon
In the northern towns, generally the next business day.
In Hobart and Melbourne, generally within 4 hours.
Both describe how GDS works, never a clause in the contract.
A Devonport receptionist dials the number the Melbourne office dials.
We keep the fault open until the Devonport printer runs again.
Why a Launceston clinic and a Burnie depot need different printers
A health practice printing patient letters all day and a freight depot printing dockets have little in common.
| For each branch | What it decides |
|---|---|
| Monthly page count | Which of the 3 plans fits |
| Colour or mono | Whether colour pages are included |
| Staff sharing a printer | How fast the printer must be |
| Private documents | Whether prints wait for a card or code |
| Current lease end date | When that branch moves over |
| Plan | Pages included |
|---|---|
| Starter | 2,000 mono pages monthly |
| Professional | 2,000 mono plus 200 colour monthly |
| Enterprise | 5,000 mono plus 500 colour monthly |
Plans are tailored to the branch, and the quote names the rate for pages beyond the plan's allowance.
Excess page rates are normally the same in Burnie as in Melbourne, GDS says.
Bringing the Tasmanian branches across
A cost review first
We cost each branch before anything is agreed.
Every branch gets its own figure.
One lease at a time
Branches move across as their current leases finish.
A branch opened in Wynyard next year can join this agreement, and the monthly total changes.
Printers you already own cannot join.
Optional extras
PaperCut holds a print until staff release it with a card or code.
Skipping the print server, the computer that queues jobs, is optional too.
That suits Microsoft 365 branches.
A paid data wipe clears each printer's memory when the agreement ends.
Each extra appears in the quote with its cost.

Yes. Tasmanian branches join the agreement the mainland office holds.
Each printer is quoted on its own plan.
Every branch appears on the one invoice with its page report.

Neither time is promised in writing.
Who repairs a printer at a Devonport branch?
We book an authorised dealer or the manufacturer for the visit.
The branch rings us, not a repairer.
No repairer sends the branch an invoice.
What decides the monthly price of a Tasmanian branch printer?
Mostly its monthly pages, and how much is colour.

Yes. It joins this agreement when it opens.
