Refurbished Photocopiers
Refurbished is a great phrase but what does it mean?
Interactive Office Systems refurbishment of a photocopier is only relevant to low usage models that do not warrant the need for a full remanufacture.

Wikipedia says:
Refurbishmentis the process of maintenance or minor repair of an item, either aesthetically or mechanically.
"Refurbished," in reference to computers or laptops, means that the equipment was returned to the manufacturer either because the customer simply didn't want it or a minor problem was found. Before re-selling the equipment, manufacturers fix and certify the unit and sell it at a discount.
Refurbished products cannot be sold as new products , which is why they are relabeled as refurbished or refreshed units even if they are good-as-new (if, for example, the unit was returned for some reason unrelated to the product itself, i.e., the customer changed his mind about the color). Refurbished items may or may not have scratches, dents or other forms of cosmetic damage which do not affect the performance of the unit.
