Copier Leasing · Pasadena, CA
A copier lease in Pasadena is usually a decision about the next five years, not the next month. This page covers how we size a lease so an office near South Lake Avenue is not paying for a machine that is too small in year two or too old in year five, and what the upgrade options look like along the way.
We size the machine to your monthly volume today and the growth you expect over the term. For research institutions and engineering firms near Caltech and JPL that often means an A3 color unit at 35 to 50 ppm; for smaller offices in Old Pasadena or the Playhouse District a 25 to 30 ppm unit is common. If volume outgrows the machine, a fair market value lease lets you move to a faster model and roll the balance into a new term. The HP E877z goes further: its speed can be raised by license from 40 to 70 ppm without a hardware swap.
For offices whose volume rises only a few months a year, buying a base machine and renting for the peak can cost less than a larger lease; that combination is on the Pasadena sales and rentals page.
Terms run 36, 48 or 60 months. A fair market value (FMV) lease carries the lowest monthly payment and lets you return or upgrade the machine at the end of the term. A $1 buyout lease costs about 15 percent more per month and leaves you owning the copier. Either can include a maintenance agreement priced per page that covers toner, drums, parts, labor and on-site dispatch, and none of our leases carry an annual escalation.
| Term | Structure | Monthly payment | End of term |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 months | FMV | Highest | Return or upgrade |
| 48 months | FMV | Middle | Return or upgrade |
| 60 months | FMV | Lowest | Return or upgrade |
| 36 to 60 months | $1 buyout | About 15% above FMV | You own the machine |
In-stock models ship from the Burbank staging warehouse, about 20 minutes away, and delivery, installation, network setup and staff training are included anywhere in Los Angeles County. We deliver to Old Pasadena, the Playhouse District, South Lake Avenue, the Civic Center and Lamanda Park. The 4-hour on-site service commitment applies from the day the machine is installed, and toner ships automatically when the machine reports it is low.

Most copiers are engineered for a five-year service life. Extending a lease past that point on a machine that has needed two or more service calls in six months usually costs more than a new term on current equipment, because consumables for older models rise in price and driver support ends. We review the service history with you in the final year and quote a replacement with the trade-in applied.
