Late last week, the Island Government of Saba received a large printer upgrade from Xerox that was purchased under the Dutch Development Fund through USONA.
The shipment contained approximately 2 large multifunction copiers, 1 large color, 5 medium office printers, and several other small models. The upgrade will replace all the old mixed technology units that existed beforehand and should save the Government on toner/printing costs.
After delivery of the shipment, Xerox technicians Orlando Lamp and Jonah Doram paid a working visit to the Island to properly setup the units. Offices were setup to efficiently use one large or medium sized printer within their vicinity, as opposed to having several small, expensive inkjet color printers. The upgrade also brought centralized fax capabilities as well as network scanning.
ICT Manager James Wright stated, "This was a much needed and anticipated upgrade for the Government. By having centralized printing, scanning, and faxing we should see a reduction in the costs of paper, maintenance, and toner. Furthermore, the units seem fast and user-friendly which undoubtedly increases our efficiency."
The Government previously leased a large copier from Xerox, however, with this upgrade they no longer require the lease to continue. Obersi Xerox graciously donated the large copier to the Saba Comprehensive School to be used by the teachers and faculty there. Considering the amount of copies and work that schools produce, this was indeed another upgrade for the schools facilities as well.
