Office equipment can be a big investment, and it's well worth it to take care of your devices to ensure you get the most out of that investment.
Here are a few ways to ensure you are being kind to your copier, printer, or multifunction unit.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to extending the life of your office equipment. Not only will you see less downtime and fewer parts needing replacement, but you'll be able to address any hidden issues before they become big problems. Schedule maintenance at regular intervals, and use a licensed technician to ensure quality care.
Attention
It's easy to just overlook minor issues and error messages, especially if the device is still running and getting the job done. However, addressing any of those small annoyances early can help prevent bigger catastrophes later on. Minor errors can be an indication of something bigger looming, but they can also be affecting the machine's performance.
Quality
It's tempting to try to save money on things like ink and toner. But, in the long term, supplies of lower quality can impact the overall health of your device, leading to possible damaged parts or other issues. Buying supplies that are certified is one way to make sure you are using high quality ink and toner.
