The Dominica Business Systems is partnering with the Ministry of Education to provide Xerox printers to Dominican schools at no equipment cost.
The company on Friday, made its latest donation of a printer to the Pierre Charles Secondary School as part of its Zero Rentals initiative.
‘These are challenging times for us as a company and country, but notwithstanding that, with these adverse times, we have to be innovative in how we can help each other. These printers will deliver prints, scans to email, automatic 2-side printing, scan to and print from USB among other features,” said Joffa Peters, Sales and Services Manager at Dominica Business Systems.
The company has already made donations of printers to the St. Mary’s Academy, Wesley High School, Isaiah Thomas Primary School, Castle Bruce Secondary School, Portsmouth Secondary School Trafalgar Primary School, Massacre Primary School, Roosevelt Douglas Primary School, and the Wills Strathmore Stevens Primary School.
Senior Education Officer for Secondary Schools Nazarine Williams-Titre welcomed the company’s assistance to the Ministry of Education.

Dominica Business Systems is a local Xerox distributor and office solutions supplier.
Good day. It’s amazing how the private sector contribute to the education sector .Hats off to them.
How ever on the flip side we are all schools serving the commonwealth of Dominica. Please do not pass by our private schools which will also benefit from this generous offers ,to enhance our education system
DBS – Thank you for providing the “printers” for the schools.
Are they actually copy machines?
Are they tied into the school’s computer network so there is just one printer for everyone?
How do they handle CONFIDENTIAL printing (reports from Administration)? Are those held in a queue until the administrative person comes and puts in a code and stays there while the confidential document prints?
