Prolong The Life Of Your Printer And Copier With Regular Routine Maintenance

Whether a printer/Copier in Huntingdon is dell latitude e6420 battery, dell latitude e6520 battery being used in a large and busy office or the user is in a home or small business there are some simple ways to keep it working at peak efficiency and prolong its life.

Firstly, for safety the electricity supply should be turned off before any routine cleaning is begun.

It is a good idea to keep the machine as free from dust as possible. The outside should be cleaned at least once a week to remove dust and dirt. It is preferable to use a cloth moistened only with water and with a smooth fibre surface as some cleaning solutions could be too strong and damage the surfaces.

For the inside a vacuum suction cleaner is best to remove excess paper dust deposits without the risk of blowing air into the machine and redistributing dust onto sensitive machine parts such as ink feeds.

The glass on the scanner should also be kept free of smears and dust because they will affect the quality of the eventual print, showing up as marks and imperfections. When cleaning the glass it is better to use an anti-static cleaning solution.

Another useful top for cleaning the printer, but obviously with the power on, is to run a clean sheet of paper through it to pick up any stray lint or dust. This can either be done by using the printer’s form feed function or by using a word processer to send a “print” to the machine – although it may mean typing one hp compaq nc8230 battery, hp compaq nw8240 battery character on the document if the printer will not print an entirely blank sheet.

Another way to minimise printer problems, particularly paper jams, is to make sure good quality paper is used.

Torn, creased or damaged paper can cause paper jams and paper jams can lead to the possibility of damage to other parts of the machine. Economising on paper quality can also be a mixed blessing because while it may be cheaper, especially if the user prints a high volume of documents, low-grade paper can also cause jams and may also leave a larger amount of paper dust inside than a higher-quality paper will. The colour printing huntingdon manual will usually contain information on the best quality of paper to use.

Another point to consider is where the paper is stored before being loaded into the paper tray. Storing paper in a cool, low-humidity environment will ensure that pages do not stick together when loaded into the machine or cause paper jams.

The parts on many printers are made of breakable materials like plastic and care should be taken when replacing ink cartridges, for example. Equally the covers on many printers are held in place with small plastic tabs that could be easily damaged if any force is applied. Generally they are made so that they fit properly so any force needed when closing lids and covers suggests that something may be wrong with the machine’s assembly or the way the user is trying to install a replaceable part.

While many larger office users may asus a42-ul80 battery, asus ul50 battery have a maintenance programme as part of their contract with their equipment supplier simple regular housekeeping measures like those outlined above will help keep problems and call-outs to a minimum and ensure top quality prints.
