Geraldton and the Mid West branches come next. Mid West branches in Geraldton, Dongara and Mullewa are covered by Global Document Solutions, on one Perth agreement. ### 424 kilometres of coast, counted in hundreds According to Wikipedia, Geraldton is a coastal city in the Mid West, 424 kilometres north of Perth. The same article calls its port a major west coast seaport. It also names the city a service centre for regional mining and fishing, among other industries. A Perth group's branch there can end up on a copier deal Perth never sees. #### What does managed print mean for a Geraldton branch? Managed print services in Geraldton put each Mid West branch on the agreement your Perth office holds. A branch gets a printer suited to the pages it turns out. The branch's printer runs on a monthly plan, with a page report for the branch. See what a Mid West branch plan includes A branch on a copier lease can weigh a Geraldton lease against a managed plan. Perth to the Mid West One contract and one invoice, every branch reported on its own. Each branch keeps a printer that fits it. A port logistics office and a regional clinic print nothing alike. One phone number serves both. Last updated 27 October 2026. ### Mid West towns a branch list sometimes includes Each is an example, because every Western Australian address is serviced. Greater Geraldton The city and its port, with Greenough to the south. Walkaway inland, and Mullewa further east. According to Wikipedia, the City of Greater Geraldton takes in Mullewa and Walkaway. Up and down the coast Northampton to the north, and Dongara to the south. The Pilbara further north, with Pilbara branches joined to the same Perth agreement. Head office is on it too, with the Perth office quoted alongside Geraldton. A Mid West town we skipped List it on the form. We arrange its visits as usual. ### What a branch 424 kilometres away can expect According to Wikipedia, Geraldton had an urban population of 38,595 at the 2021 census. For a service visit it counts as a regional address. A technician is generally at a Geraldton branch the next business day. A Perth office, in a capital city, is generally attended within 4 hours. GDS works to both as practice, and the agreement writes in neither. The same article notes multiple daily flights between the city's airport and Perth. Distance alters the visit, never the plan. Far away, not different. A Mullewa office printing about 2,000 mono pages monthly belongs on Starter, like a Perth office that size. 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 Geraldton branch printer fails The branch rings us, wherever it is. #### Who fixes a printer in Greenough or Dongara, and when? Who fixes it An authorised dealer or the manufacturer, lined up by us. Dongara is lined up in just the way Geraldton is. The branch is not billed by the repairer. The caller says which printer and what is wrong. The plan stays as it was. Walkaway and Greenough calls are logged in one queue at our end. When In the Mid West, generally the next business day. In Perth, generally within 4 hours. Both describe GDS practice, and neither is a contract term. A Northampton branch uses the number Perth uses. We follow the job through until the Northampton printer prints. ### Why a port logistics office and a clinic need different printers Shipping paperwork by the ream and a handful of referrals a day ask for different machines. What each branch tells us | Each branch | What it settles | | --- | --- | | Pages each month | Its plan | | Colour volume | Colour pages included | | Number of users | Printer speed | | Confidential work | Held printing or not | | Lease expiry | Its changeover month | The monthly page count of each plan | Plan | Pages included | | --- | --- | | Starter | 2,000 mono each month | | Professional | 2,000 mono and 200 colour each month | | Enterprise | 5,000 mono and 500 colour each month | Every Mid West plan is adjusted to its branch, and pages beyond it carry a rate your quote names. GDS says Geraldton is normally charged the Perth rate. A port office printing shipping paperwork every hour of the day can need Enterprise, while a two room clinic usually suits Starter. #### Bringing the Mid West branches in A review before anything else Each branch is costed before you agree to it. Every branch has its own figure. As each lease lapses Branches come over separately, as each lease finishes. A branch opened in Dongara later joins this agreement, and the monthly figure adjusts. Printers owned outright stay off the agreement. Extras you can add PaperCut, for releasing a print with a card or code, is an optional extra. Skipping the print server, which queues every job, is optional too. Microsoft 365 branches can use it. Each printer's memory can be wiped, at a cost, as the agreement closes. All extras appear in the quote with their cost. ### Geraldton and Mid West questions, answered #### Can a Geraldton branch join our Perth managed print agreement? Yes.
