The C834 is on our list new, beside secondhand OKI A3 printers, every unit checked and its page count stated in writing. Included in the price: delivery, network installation and a walk through for your staff. On a service agreement our replacement warranty runs for the full term, so a machine that fails is replaced.

Put any machine on our service agreement and the replacement warranty comes with it. New or secondhand, and whether you rent, lease, finance or buy outright, the rule is the same: should the machine fail, you get a replacement. The cover runs to the final day of the agreement, not the end of year one.
On a new copier the maker's own warranty is usually 12 months, on the hardware only; consumables sit outside it. Beyond that year, your cover is the service agreement. Your agreement sets out the full terms of the replacement warranty.
