What are your storage needs and options? What is causing the need for more
storage and why do you need energy efficient storage?

Printing and Imaging
Did you know that print output can cost you up to 3% of your revenue, whether it's
printing, copying, faxing or scanning?
You may have too many printing devices, maybe even from multiple vendors, that are
underutilized and are too old and expensive to run due to maintenance and supply
cost. Let us guide your organization on the path to potential cost savings
and productivity gains.
How about that we have remanufactured toner cartridges that will give you significant
savings versus original manufacturers cartridges?
MTC remanufactured cartridges can save you 30%-50% of the original manufacturer
price.
Go "Green" by letting us recycle your used cartridges in our Recycling
Program. We are trying to help the environment by taking your recycled cartridges
to a local place that uses environmentally safe procedures. When you place
your order with us let us know how many cartridges you have, we'll help you make
a difference!
Our knowledgeable service department can fix, clean and service your printer, copier,
fax and multi-function machines for you. Our technicians are certified
to work on many machines such as HP, Lexmark and Xerox.
MTC service contracts will give you peace of mind with budgeting control and priority
service.

Data Storage:
The recommended back up rule is to have ten times on-hand
disk capacity for future data growth.
|
|
Printer Service:
When experiencing print quality (lines, smudging, ghosting)
or noise problems (clicking, squeaking, squealing), always try changing the toner
cartridge as your first troubleshooting option. A known good cartridge from
another printer or an almost empty cartridge that has been replaced will do just
fine.

PC:
Quickly lock your PC desktop screen and not
log-off by pressing the left 'Windows' logo key and the 'L'
|
Networking:
Never download any file or program unless you know the sender
and always scan downloaded attachments.
|
Phone System:
When your phone stops working, try to unplug it and plug it
back in. Sometimes rebooting it helps.

Economic Stimulus Act Of 2008
The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 contains two provisions that provide
tax benefits for businesses. The first provision increases the limit
up to which a business can expense property purchased and placed in service during
its 2008 tax year. The second provision provides an additional 50 percent special
depreciation allowance for property acquired and placed in service during calendar
year 2008.
Unlike the economic stimulus payments that millions of individuals have already
received, the tax benefits for businesses are not automatic; businesses must act
to take advantage of the new provisions by purchasing qualifying property.
The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that businesses stand to lower their 2008
tax bills by roughly $45 billion as a result of the two business provisions in the
Economic Stimulus Act of 2008; these provisions accelerate into 2008 the tax benefits
that otherwise would not have been available until future years.
