Copier monitors need to validate their new copier and/or multifunctional device requirements with their Group DAPS focal point. Group focal points will forward their requirements to the base DAPS focal point for consolidation.
“Copier monitors will need to work closely with their resource advisers when establishing new copier requirements,” said Sergeant Harris, chief of base publishing and Web management.
“Copier prices are only provided to the resource advisers and unit funding will dictate your final copier acquisition. Please note, paper will no longer be included in the contract.”
Copier paper can be purchased through DAPS or another source at additional cost. You should consider the following items when determining unit organization’s new copier requirements: classified copying needs, scanning, scan-to-e-mail, scan-to-folder, scan controller, fax, Internet fax, volume usage, high-speed copying, color copying, duplex, sorting, stapler, hole punch, paper size and network capabilities.There are several other specifications and features that are not listed.

“The new copiers that are offered have a lot of new features that will definitely benefit the work centers,” said Sergeant Varano, chief of NATO Subregistry (Administration Communication) and base publishing. “Base IM wants to ensure every unit out there knows about the copier replacement program and we stand by to assist in ensuring a smooth transition to the new copier contract.”
