Maintenance is always vital for the health of commercial printers. In general, our certified professionals at Merrimack Valley Business Machines will schedule annual maintenance services for your company machines. However, there are a few things you can do to extend the life of your commercial printer or copier.
Clean and Tidy
Commercial printers may be in use every minute of the workday, but they still get dusty and dirty! Dust and debris can result in streaky prints. This can be resolved by opening any trays and vacuuming or wiping away dust and dirt. Check for any torn or stuck paper, and be sure not to overload the paper tray. Another way to keep your commercial printers “clean and tidy” is with routine system updates! This cleans out any bugs or software malfunctions. The tech experts recommend an annual maintenance service to clean your machine and update any software needs.
Location, location, location!
Yup, the location of your commercial printer is important! Keep your machine in a location that is clear of pedestrian traffic, protecting all parts from getting damaged. More importantly, all machinery should be kept in a cool, dry environment. Heat and humidity can assist in clogging your inkjet and toner degradation. Moving to a new location? One of our technicians can help you find the best spot in the office for your machine.
Supplies
Always read the manual to stock the correct supplies for your office printer. Paper jams don’t need to be a daily occurrence: ensure the correct amount is added to the correct tray to ensure a smooth printing process. Ink and toner supplies should always be stored in a cool and dry location, preferably in a supply closet.
