Javelin Inspection
An inspection fee is charged to assess the work required to repair the printer and to prepare a repair quotation. The inspection fee must be acknowledged before any work can begin. We email you the repair quotation. You must confirm acceptance of the charges and issue a purchase order before any repair work can begin. If after one month the work is not ordered, we'll return the printer.
