Handy Tips to Keep Your Printer and Photocopier Running Smoothly
We’ve compiled a list of quick and simple tips to help you maintain your photocopiers and printers. These tips can save time, improve performance, and avoid unnecessary repairs.
Fixing Lines on Your Prints and Copies
If you notice lines on your printed or copied documents, it might be time to clean your machine’s Charge Grids and Laser Slip Glass. Toner can accumulate on these parts, causing imperfections. In our video, Copier King engineer Roger demonstrates how to clean these components on a Konica machine. For Toshiba devices, the Charge Sticks are green, while older Konica models like the 220, 280, and 360 use metal Charge Sticks—be cautious not to bend them!
Preparing Your Machine After Periods of Inactivity
If your printer or photocopier hasn’t been used for a while, replace the paper in the machine. Paper left unused for long periods can absorb moisture, leading to blockages and paper jams. Fresh, dry paper will help your machine function smoothly.
Clean Your Copier Glass for Better Results
A clean copier glass is essential for clear copies and scans. Over time, dust and grime can accumulate, causing streaks or smears. Regularly clean the glass with a high-quality glass cleaner and a dry cloth to maintain optimal performance.
Preventing Paper Jams
Paper jams are one of the most common printer and copier issues. They’re often caused by dust on the paper rollers, which prevents the paper from moving freely. Avoid this by wiping the rollers with a lint-free cloth on a regular basis.
Scanning Tips to Protect Your Machine
Before scanning, always remove staples, paper clips, or other attachments from your documents. These can scratch the machine’s surfaces or cause jams, leading to costly repairs.
Have a Trained Expert in Your Team
Consider training one or more team members to become experts on your office photocopier or printer. They can act as an internal support resource, troubleshoot minor issues, and ensure consumables are stocked. This can save your business time, money, and unnecessary frustration.
