What changes the monthly cost
Three variables shape the quoted price:
- Print volume: Higher monthly page counts increase the per-page allowance and may move the device into a higher tier.
- Term length: Shorter 36 month terms have a higher monthly payment; 60 month terms have the lowest monthly payment. Final total varies by finance provider.
- Configuration: Adding finishing options (stapling, hole-punch, booklet finisher, additional paper trays) increases the device cost and the monthly payment.

The same maintenance, toner and support inclusions apply.
