The Process

Stage 1

ZAR Corporation only purchases used printers that have been continuously maintained by the manufacturer. This ensures that the printer has all the current engineering changes and all authentic manufacturer parts and features. ZAR Corporation makes an extra effort to ensure all used equipment we purchase is deinstalled and packed with strict adherence to the manufacturer's guidelines. ZAR Corporation then ships the printers using only High Value Product freight carriers.

At the reconditioning/refurbishing center, the equipment is audited and inspected, thoroughly confirming the condition of the equipment as well as receipt of all operating software, maintenance manuals, and other ship group items. Technicians proceed to stage, test, and adjust each piece of equipment to peak operating condition. The entire machine is then inspected. Worn elements and components are replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Only manufacturer-approved parts and components are used. We inspect, repair, or replace all drive components. All additional features requested are installed.

From the inside out technicians complete a thorough and intensive cleaning procedure using only manufacturer approved cleaning materials and solutions. Outer panels are removed, repaired or replaced, cleaned and painted. When completed, the equipment is reassembled.

Technicians complete a thorough staging and testing process. Technicians will print thousands of pages to ensure the highest print quality and optimal standard of operation.

Depending upon the manufacturer, the equipment may be certified by the Manufacturer at this stage for a guaranteed maintenance contract. With some manufacturers, the certification for maintenance acceptance is performed during the installation.

In packing our equipment, we follow the exact specifications issued by each manufacturer. In some instances we crate equipment, in others the equipment has a "band" placed around the equipment after it has been certified for maintenance. ZAR Corporation uses manufacturer-approved packing materials and procedures.
