Get a good internet connection, digita persona biometric scanner U4500 and check other instructions out on the nysc portal

My take on 3 in 1 printer:

When you buy a printer, photocopier and scanner seperately, it makes the equipment durable and makes your job get done faster. Imagine a scenairo where you have 3 different clients that want to print, photocopy and scan simultaneously, they will have to wait for one another and you might lose clients this way.
Also, a 3in 1 printer cannot do duplex printing (front and back automatically). They can't handle heavy jobs especially when you are in a students' environment.

I will help you to write a professional business plan with full financial projections.

Hello. Can someone advise on the type of printer, scanner and photocopier that's good for this kind of business.

I heard deskjet printers ain't economical.

I saw some officejet printers on jumia. 3in1 printer that can print, scan and copy. Is this type of printer okay? What's the difference between HP officejet, laserjet and deskjet. Which can you recommend?

Please guys with experience in the house. I need your advice and recommendations as to the type of printer, copier and scanner to use.

Are three in one Printers okay. if yes, which one can you recommend?

Flakky26:
Give your customers little thank you gift like sweet. I do it in my centre.

And discounts too to loyal customers

When buying printers, make sure you buy laserjet toner printers cos they are very durable and don't smear your printing when compared to inkjet printers. Also, don't buy multipurpose printer, get a seperate black and white printer, colour printer, scanner and photocopier.

for black and white printing, you can get hp laserjet 2055d or hp laserjet pro 401dn.

for coloured printing, buy hp laserjet CP 1215 or CP 1515.

There is no printer yet that doesn't make use of toner or ink except some xerox printers that make use of wax but very expensive.

Some of the equipment needed for operation in your centre are listed below. They can either be brand new or fairly used but it is always advisable to go for fairly used so as to save cost. Also, make sure you buy your equipment from reliable source. Bad equipment can wreck serious havoc on the business as a result of malfunctioning and repairs/maintenance at all times.


HP desktop computers

HP black and white laserjet printer

HP colour laserjet printer

Kyocera mita 2530/3530 A3 size photocopier Or Utax/Olivetti photocopiers

VSAT wireless/Huwaei universal 4G mifi router

Jamb Biometric scanner

NYSC digita persona biometric scanner

Laminating machine

Direct Image Printer

1.5 KVA UPS

DSTV/GOTV decoder

Extension boxes

5 KVA Generator

***YOU CAN ADD OTHERS

If you are intending to start a Computer business centre or you already own one, these are some of the basic business ethics you must apply in order to be successful in you business. All the things written below are as a result of my several years of experience/research in this business. This will guide you very well and prevent you from having unnecessary arguments/clashes with your clients. From time to time, I will be updating reviews on this page as regards everything you need to know about this business ranging from computers, printers, photocopiers, consumables, accessories, errors fixing, other office equipment, your office arraignment, your clients, e.t.c., You can ask me any question if you have.

Let's start with these 20 GOLDEN BASIC ETHICS.

1. Open very early and close late (especially if you are in a student environment) as most jobs are being done very early in the morning before students go for classes or late in the evening when they return back from classes. If you can run a 24 hours service, please do because some students print late in the midnight when they finish their assignments to avoid early morning rush. Employ operators to run daily shift.

2. Welcome clients with smile and never speak rudely to them.

3. Pay full attention to your work (all your 5 senses must be at alert). Do not be distracted by other client’s complaints when attending to a particular client. Attend to one customer after the other and try as much as possible to calm them down. Install a cable TV to keep them entertained, this will get them carried away.

4. Scan flash drives that are susceptible to threats before opening. Follow instructions given by the antivirus program during virus removal to the core.

5. Check client’s work whether it is well arraigned and preview before printing. Make sure that your client check along with you also.

6. Never print a work that has never been checked by both parties on no condition.

7. Give a disclaimer that you won’t be responsible for any mistake from the client’s end after printing.

8. Always print a sample (for multiple copies) and show to client before printing the rest.

10. Always monitor the job from the printer during printing. Your printer can malfunction anytime.

11. Let there be a clear-cut agreement (in terms of price and output) between both parties before printing.

12. Always check for the printer in use before sending job to the printer. In case of mistakes, DO NOT SWITCH OFF the printer suddenly but pull out the paper tray, cancel the printing from the printer settings and switch off the printer. By switching off the printer suddenly will cause a paper jam inside the printer.

13. During special printings (such as front and back, envelopes, mid-weight, heavy glossy, etc), change settings at the printing options and reverse settings to default immediately at the completion of printing. Always set the paper size first before printing e.g A4, letter, legal, A3, etc.

14. Always switch off equipment that are not in use. Equipment running at the background will lead to power consumption and unnecessary overheating. Install an AC, Air coolants or heat extractors in your office to cool off your machines. Try as much as possible to have at least 2 equipment each that serves the same purpose in order not to over work a particular equipment.

15. Do not allow customers to charge their gadgets at the work station. This can disrupt your work. Create another space for them and make sure that gadgets are charged at owner’s risk.

16. Do not embark on jobs that cannot be completed within a specific period of time given by clients to avoid disappointing your clients.

17. On no condition must you offer any service if machines are not in good working conditions. Make sure you fix errors first. Try and learn how to fix minor errors before starting your business to avoid calling technicians all the time. Most errors can be fixed by you or else your technician can extort you due to your ignorance and they may even delay in responding. In case of complicated errors, call a technician.

18. No pinging, chatting, browsing etc., / do away with your phone while working. This will distract you and cause mistakes.

19. Respect and be polite to your customers. Learn how to use words like ‘please, sorry, kindly, you are welcome, thank you, e.t.c’. Do not argue with your clients and learn how to calm an angry client by showing empathy. Always accept responsibility for your mistakes.

20. Above all, go the extra mile to make your clients satisfied. They will definitely come back another time and refer people to your centre.

You can also add yours. Check back for regular updates. Have a lovely and successful week ahead!

happy new year

Firstly, I thank God Almighty for making me, my family and my friends to see this New Year with no form of hitch or leaving anyone behind in 2016. All Glory belongs to God!
***This is my year of FRESH OIL AND OVERFLOWING BLESSINGS***

My best memories so far have been how I always survive whenever the recession hit so hard both at home and at work. I found out that rather than been depressed or downcast, I always come out stronger and more energetic. I can't just comprehend how this is possible but one thing is sure, It is only by God's love and mercy.
Also, my joy knew no bound when I was inducted as a professional in my line of career.

***Fellow Nairalanders, I sincerely know that God must have in one way or the other surprise us too. let's share out best memories here in a way of appreciation to him***


***HAPPY NEW YEAR ONCE AGAIN***
