All of our Pre-Owned equipment is GUARANTEED for a standard maintenance agreement with IBM, OCE, or XEROX. You don't pay ZAR a dime until all of your equipment is CERTIFIED acceptable for maintenance by the manufacturer.

Experience and attention to detail are a few of the many factors that distinguish ZAR Corporation's Reconditioning & Refurbishing process from ANY other in the industry. Having refurbished printers, mainframes and peripherals for over 15 years, ZAR Corporation has more experience and expertise than any other company in the industry.

The technicians who perform the work on ZAR's Pre-Owned equipment are some of the most knowledgeable and skilled professionals in the industry and work exclusively on the art of refurbishing and reconditioning High Speed Laser Printing Systems.

The Process

Stage 1

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

Stage 2
Reconditioning & Refurbishing Process

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.

Stage 3
Staging, Testing

Technicians complete a second thorough staging and testing process. Technicians will print thousands of pages to insure 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.

Stage 4
Preparation and Packing for Delivery. Manufacturer Certification for Maintenance.

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 uses manufacturer approved packing material and procedures.
