Every office is scoped before a figure. Global Document Solutions runs managed print for Port Macquarie and Mid North Coast offices on one agreement with one invoice. ### Four river valleys, four fleets, one invoice According to Wikipedia, Port Macquarie is at the mouth of the Hastings River, about 390 kilometres north of Sydney. Kempsey is on the Macleay, Taree on the Manning, and Forster on Wallis Lake. A group with a branch in each can end up with a different supplier in each town. Four bills, four dates, four sets of terms. #### What does managed print look like on the Mid North Coast? Managed print services in Port Macquarie puts every valley office on one agreement with us. Each office still gets a printer picked for its own work and its own monthly plan. The invoice then carries a line per office, with a page report for each. Check what goes into a valley office's monthly plan Branches on separate leases can compare a coastal lease against one managed agreement. What becomes single One agreement, one bill and one phone number. What stays separate is each office's scope. Five printers in Port Macquarie and one in Forster are planned apart. Their invoice lines share the same bill. Last updated 27 October 2026. ### Mid North Coast towns a single list can hold Every address on the coast is serviced, and these towns are examples only. North of the Hastings Kempsey and South West Rocks on the Macleay. Nambucca Heads, and Coffs Harbour further up the coast. Bellingen lies inland, up the Bellinger River from Urunga. Wauchope inland along the Hastings valley. South to the lakes Laurieton and the Camden Haven, then Taree and Old Bar on the Manning. Forster and Tuncurry on Wallis Lake, and Gloucester inland. A Newcastle office can share the agreement, and so can a head office in Sydney. A coast town missing here Put it on the form anyway. It is serviced like the rest. ### The divided highway, and what it left the same According to the Port Macquarie News, the 657 kilometre duplication from Hexham to the Queensland border was finished in December 2020. According to the same report, the work took 24 years and $15 billion of federal and state money. The road now links Kempsey with Port Macquarie and Taree on one divided route. A spare part or a replacement printer still travels it as road freight. Every coast town counts as regional for service, so the next business day is generally what to expect. An inland branch in Bathurst, Orange or Dubbo is regional too, and joins the same invoice. Tamworth and North West branches are regional as well, inland along the Oxley Highway. What the highway never changed is the plan each office gets. A Forster office printing 2,000 mono pages a month suits the Starter plan, whatever the road. 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 valley office loses its printer Every fault reaches us first, from any valley. #### Who comes to a fault in Kempsey or Taree, and when? Who arrives For on site work we arrange an authorised dealer or the manufacturer. The arrangement is the same in Forster as in Port Macquarie. None of them bills you directly. How soon Along this coast, expect a visit generally on the next business day. A Sydney office is generally reached inside 4 hours. GDS states that as its process, not as a term of the agreement. A branch manager in Taree rings the same number as head office. We take the fault, arrange the visit and chase it until printing resumes. No branch hunts for its own repairer, in any town on the list. ### Why a Kempsey branch and a Port Macquarie clinic get different machines Health and aged care groups share this coast with trade counters and professional firms. What to bring for each coast office | For each office | What it tells us | | --- | --- | | A recent page count | Which of the 3 plans fits | | Colour or mono only | Whether colour pages are needed | | Staff sharing the machine | The speed and tray size required | | Private documents printed | Whether held printing is worth adding | | The current end date | When that office can move | Pages a coast office gets on each plan | Plan | Monthly pages | | --- | --- | | Starter | 2,000 in mono | | Professional | 2,000 mono with 200 colour | | Enterprise | 5,000 mono with 500 colour | Every plan is tailored, and the quote states any rate for pages over the plan. GDS says that rate is normally the same in every town. #### Moving a coast group across A review per town Every office has its own cost review before you commit. You see one figure for every office. No big bang Offices come across over months, as each current deal runs out. Open a new branch next year and it comes onto this agreement, at a new monthly total. Printers your group owns cannot join. Added only if you want them Staff release jobs with a card or code on PaperCut, as an optional extra. Printing with no print server, the box that queues jobs, is optional as well. It works for Microsoft 365 offices too. Clearing stored data from a machine when the term ends costs extra. ### What coast groups ask us first #### Can offices in Kempsey, Taree and Forster share one invoice? Yes. Every coast office shares one agreement and one invoice. Each has its own line on that invoice and its own page report. The printers are still planned office by office. #### How quickly is a coast office looked after? Expect a visit, generally, on the next business day. Every Mid North Coast town counts as regional for service. GDS states that as its process, never as a written term. #### Who turns up when a Port Macquarie printer stops? We arrange an authorised dealer or the manufacturer. Every ticket comes through us, from every town. Nobody sends you a separate repair bill. #### Do we have to move every branch at once? No. Branches move over months, as each current deal ends. Each one is costed before it moves. A later branch can join, and the monthly total is reworked to include it. #### Can a Sydney head office sit on the same agreement? Yes. Sydney and interstate offices can be added to the list. Sydney offices are generally reached within 4 hours. Every office keeps its own printer plan. ### Kempsey down to Forster Add Coffs Harbour or Newcastle if they belong. ### Every valley office, and any beyond List the Sydney and interstate sites too. Every address comes back with a machine, a plan and any rate for extra pages set out in writing. Operated by Global Document Solutions, an authorised Kyocera partner.
