What raises and lowers the price of used printers, scanners & copiers

Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.

  • Whether it is a laser or a factory ink-tank machine rather than an old cartridge inkjet, because running cost is the first thing a print-heavy buyer asks about.
  • A meter reading that sits comfortably inside what the model was rated for, with drum and fuser life still reported as remaining.
  • Working extras that people actually use: automatic duplex, network or Wi-Fi printing, and a document feeder that pulls one sheet at a time.
  • Cartridges or toner for that model still being made and easy to buy in the twin cities, in original form as well as compatible.
  • A complete machine, with the power lead, paper cassette, output tray and scanner lid all present and undamaged.

When an item is worth parts value only

  • An inkjet whose print head is built into the body rather than the cartridge and will not clear after repeated cleaning cycles.
  • Cracked gears, a snapped tray latch or a bent frame in the paper path, usually from a jam pulled out by force, because it will jam again on every job.
  • A model whose toner or cartridge has been discontinued locally, however clean and low-mileage the machine itself is.
  • A scanner that reports a carriage or lamp error and never moves, since the scan bar assembly is specific to the model and rarely worth sourcing.

Used printers, scanners & copiers — frequently asked questions

Is a used laser printer a safer buy than a used inkjet?

For text and volume, generally yes. Toner is a dry powder and does not spoil when a machine sits idle for months, which is exactly what kills second-hand inkjets in a home that prints a few pages at a time. An inkjet earns its place for photos, and a factory ink-tank model is fine if it is used regularly. On a laser, check the drum and the fuser instead of the head.

What does a printer's page count actually tell me?

It tells you how many sheets have gone through the engine, and it is printed on the configuration page the machine produces from its own panel. Read it against the monthly duty the model was designed for. It also usually reports drum and toner life remaining, which is what decides whether a cheap-looking machine needs an expensive consumable straight away.

The printer has an ink tank taped to the side. Does that matter?

It depends whether it came that way. Ink-tank models are built around refillable bottles and are designed for it. A cartridge printer converted afterwards, with tubes running along the outside of the case, is a common local modification that causes head starvation when a tube kinks or draws air. Watch that machine print a full page before deciding anything about it.
