Your copier is a hardworking part of your workplace, but you probably don't think about it the same way you think about employees. After all, have you ever wondered if your copier is happy? Although machines may not be advanced enough to have human emotion, they'll still let you know when something's wrong by causing copy problems. Luckily, the solution is easy: a little maintenance!
Maintaining Your Copiers in 3 Easy Steps
In order to make sure that your copier remains fast, efficient, and reliable for years to come, it's important to create a regular maintenance plan--and stick to it. Of course, it can be a little difficult to know where to start, especially since copiers aren't as easy to clean as windows or dishes. The good news is that copier maintenance can be as easy as one, two, three!
Step One: Clean the Glass
Take a small amount of glass cleaner and apply it directly to a soft rag, then carefully wipe away any buildup or microscopic debris--just like cleaning a window. (Maybe it's not so different after all!)
Step Two: Get Rid of Dust
Next, it's time to get rid of any dust that might be interrupting your copier's hard work. Dust accumulates quickly and it gets everywhere, so arm yourself with a dry paintbrush as well as a rag in order to clean everything you can reach. Remember to clean around the ink cartridge, too.
Step Three: Review Your Consumables
Sometimes, you'll need to replace toner cartridges even before they're empty because dried toner can become like a sticky "cap." It's also important to make sure you're using the best paper for your copier so that unnecessary problems and extra debris are always avoided. A little maintenance can keep your copiers happy--but there's always more to know.
