Questions

 

I don't have a network. How do I know if I need one or if it is cost effective?

If you have a need to share data (documents, pictures, spreadsheets) , share internet access, or share expensive equipment (such as a Color Laser printer or a printer which would print on both sides of a page), you can network your existing computers for as low as $25.00 per computer!  This includes the   network card, cabling, and the labor to install the network.

Because sharing data and equipment is cost-effective, you should have some type of network.  There are many types of networks designed to accommodate different needs and solutions. Call Shiloh Service, Inc. and a qualified representative will discuss your options with you.

With a Shiloh service agreement, we will will get to your location to respond to problems with your file server within 4 business hours.  For problems with a workstation or printer we will be onsite within 8 business hours.

Can you repair my printer?

Generally, LaserJet printers are repairable. Prices for laser jets start at over $400.00. The cost to repair these units are generally less than the cost. These printers are usually very dependable and last a long time. A repair is generally a sign that the printer may be approaching the end of its useful life.

If  an inkjet printer needs repair, it is usually a different story.  It can cost as little as $50.00 or $60.00 to replace a printer that cost you several hundred dollars a few years ago.  In most cases these printers are not worth repairing. The end user may consider returning the printer to the manufacture and receiving a fixed repair cost.
