End of Printer Lease Options: Buyout, Upgrade or Return

At the end of a printer lease you usually choose one of three paths: upgrade to a newer device on a fresh term, continue on your current equipment, or return it.

A LeasemyPrinter lease does not auto renew, so you decide before the end date and nothing rolls over without your written sign-off.

Printer lease cost bands in Australia (indicative)

The Australian printer lease market sits in four broad monthly bands.

Figures below are indicative market benchmarks compiled from publicly published competitor pricing as at May 2026, not LMP quotes.

Your formal quote depends on the device, term, monthly page volume and finance provider.

Device class	Typical use case	Monthly band (ex GST, all inclusive)
A4 mono MFP	1 to 5 staff, under 1,000 pages per month	from $80 to $150 per month
A4 colour MFP	5 to 15 staff, 1,000 to 3,000 pages per month	from $150 to $220 per month (LMP entry $160)
A3 colour MFP	10 to 30 staff, 3,000 to 8,000 pages per month	from $220 to $320 per month
A3 colour high volume	30+ staff, 8,000+ pages per month, finishing options	from $320 to $500+ per month

Indicative market benchmarks based on publicly published competitor pricing including CopierChoice, Sharp EIT Solutions, Mitronics, ABT Group, Global Document Solutions and Axia Office (May 2026).

All inclusive bands assume the lease bundles equipment, scheduled service, parts and toner consumables.

Toner, parts, service labour and call outs are included in the monthly fee, so the only thing you buy is paper.

Your options at the end of a printer lease

Upgrade: move to a newer device on a fresh term so you stay on current technology.
Continue: keep your existing equipment, often at a reduced monthly rate once the original term is served.
Return: hand the device back at no cost at the end of the agreed term.
Buyout: where the agreement allows, make a final payment to take ownership of the device.

How to plan the changeover

Find your lease end date and the notice window stated in your agreement.
Decide whether your current device still suits your volume or whether an upgrade is due.
Ask for a like for like quote on a newer device so you can compare before deciding.
Time any new installation to your end date so there is no overlap or print outage.
Confirm return, data sanitisation and collection arrangements in writing.

What happens to your data at lease end

Multifunction devices store scanned and printed jobs on an internal drive.

At lease end the drive is securely sanitised and a sanitisation record is provided on request.

This protects business and customer information before the device leaves your site.

Frequently asked questions

What are my options at the end of a printer lease?

Most leases end with three choices: upgrade to a newer device on a fresh term, continue on your current equipment, or return it at no cost.

Some agreements also allow a buyout, where a final payment takes ownership.

Your lease does not renew automatically.

We contact you well before the end date to confirm your choice, and you decide from three options: upgrade to a newer device, continue on your current equipment at a reduced rate, or return it at no cost.

Nothing rolls over automatically without your written approval.

Does a printer lease automatically renew?

A LeasemyPrinter lease does not auto-renew.

We contact you well before the end date to confirm your choice, and nothing rolls over into a new term without your written sign-off.

It is still worth checking the notice window in any existing agreement, because those dates are easy to miss.

Can I buy the printer at the end of the lease?

Where the agreement allows a buyout, you can make a final payment to take ownership of the device.

The amount and conditions are set out in your agreement, so check the end of term terms or ask us to confirm them before you decide.

What happens to the data on the printer when the lease ends?

Multifunction devices store jobs on an internal drive, so at lease end the drive is securely sanitised and a sanitisation record is provided on request.

This protects your business and customer information before the device is collected.
