Every hire includes:
The machines are sourced from leading manufacturers such as: Samsung, HP, Canon, Konica Minolta, Brother and others, meaning you get current generation hardware with the features and reliability that demanding print environments require.
The hire service covers London and the wider UK as standard, with international delivery also available on request. Venues, offices, festival sites, exhibition halls and temporary workspaces are all catered for. Every device is fully compatible across networks and operating systems, with wireless and wired options available to suit the setup you already have in place.
Eco-friendly print modes are available across the range, helping organisations reduce paper and energy consumption where print volumes allow. For events or organisations with sustainability targets, this is worth discussing at the point of booking.

A standard photocopier does one thing: it reproduces documents by scanning and printing copies. A multifunctional machine (often referred to as MFD or MFP) combines that with printing, scanning and faxing, all from a single machine. In a temporary office or event environments, this matters because space and cabling are usually limited. Rather than running separate devices for each task, an MFD minimises everything into one place, one power source and one interface for your team to learn. The machines in the Bircherley Rentals hire fleet are predominantly multifunction models, selected specifically because they handle the varied demands needed for different environments. Output speeds and paper capacities vary across the range, so if you have specific volume requirements or need A3 output alongside A4, it is worth mentioning this when enquiring. The team can match you to the right device rather than leaving you with a machine that is either overpowered or undersized for the job.
Delivery and installation timescales depend on location and notice period, but Bircherley Rentals operates across London and the wider UK with the logistics to reach most venues and office locations efficiently. For London based bookings, next day or same day delivery is often achievable, particularly for standard machine sizes. Larger or more complex installations, such as networked setups across multiple floors of a conference venue, benefit from a little more lead time to ensure everything is configured correctly before the event begins. Installation is carried out by the Bircherley Rentals team, covering physical setup, network connection and a brief operational walkthrough so whoever is managing the machine on site knows exactly what they are working with. Toner is loaded and ready to go from arrival, so there is no delay. If you are planning an event with a firm start time, the recommended approach is to book at least 48–72 hours in advance and confirm any specific network requirements such as Wi-Fi credentials or IT access procedures ahead of the delivery appointment.
Toner is always included as part of every photocopier and multifunctional machine hire from Bircherley Rentals, there are no hidden consumable charges added afterwards. The machines are delivered with sufficient toner loaded for typical usage levels associated with the hire period. For high volume events where print runs are particularly heavy, it is worth flagging your expected output when booking so the team can ensure additional supply is on hand or delivered alongside the machine. If toner does run low during a hire, contacting the Bircherley Rentals team directly is the fastest route to a resolution, the support line is 020 3973 8000 and the team aims to respond to all enquiries within 2 hours. Attempting to source compatible toner independently is not recommended, as using cartridges not approved for the specific machine model can affect print quality and sometimes damage the device. The inclusive toner approach is designed specifically to take that risk away from the client, particularly in event settings where the focus needs to be on running a successful day.
Yes, all machines in the Bircherley Rentals fleet are set up to connect to both wired and wireless networks, making integration with an existing office infrastructure or a temporary network simple. On delivery and installation, the Bircherley Rentals team will handle the configuration as part of the setup, provided access credentials/ IT contact details are available at the time. For corporate events held in hotels, conference centres or exhibition halls, it is worth checking in advance whether the venue operates a managed network that requires pre-authorisation for third party devices, this is common in larger venues and occasionally adds a step to the process. Where a reliable venue network is not available, alternative connectivity options can be discussed at the point of booking. The machines support standard protocols and are compatible with Windows, macOS and most mobile operating systems, so staff and delegates can print from laptops, tablets or smartphones without needing specialist drivers or software. If your event involves sensitive documents, it is also worth asking about secure print release options, which some models in the range support.
