so how do u get your printed sheet to the engineer 15 miles away from the office but only a mile or two from the fault thats just come in?

In that case we would use a manual.

we have three, one in the office, one for customer and one stays in the book incase any forms are lost. pay about £100 -130 for 20 books of 50, bound and perforated. Can't understand why anyone would print their own.

Yeah, same as. ROC, three copies, one for client, one for panel, one for office. CM/PM dockets, we have have white/yellow, leave one with customer, then bring copy back to office. Booked in jobs (for the day) are printed with all info on plain paper, bit messy imo

I thought they were talking about call out sheets, not commissioning ones.

[jameswilson]

[norman]

you could buy NCR paper sheets & run though you bubble jet printer,

however I expect its cheaper & less hassle to go an online printer,

I think someone else on the forum recommended to me & I was pleased with the product

That be me, good quality at a good price, although limited on colour of copy sheet.

We got ours from ebay - 3 set ones (White top, Yellow middle, red bottom). Its got perferations along the long edge, and we use a colour laser to print on our job sheet, which we designed ourselves.

Much cheaper to do it this way than use a printing company - off the top of my head, we paid £15 for 250 sets.

Means you can alter job sheets as and when needed too - with one client with several outlets and the same cctv kit throughout the estate, we've created one set of paperwork for the sites to do standard services with - so nobody misses any bits of the job.

One copy gets left with the client, one for the installer to keep in their job file, and one for accounts. That way, everyone knows whats going on with a quote or job, and what's been done to a system.

Ive been doing site specific forms, just to cut down on the amount of that need filling in, copied and signed.

ie, domestic smokes, with e lites and smoke vents, on student blocks.

Last year ended up with a ridiculous amount of paper work for the one client, not this year
