When it comes to your photocopy machine, it is important that it stays in top working condition. This will help to keep the office running smoothly and avoid costly photocopier repairs.
Below is a brief guide to photocopy machine maintenance:
1. Read the instruction manual
While it sounds obvious, it is very important to read the instruction manual for your photocopy machine. You may be familiar with working the office photocopier, but the new photocopier in front of you may well be a completely different model with specific ways of operating. If you want to successfully maintain your photocopy machine to the highest level, you need to read the manual carefully and make sure that you know the recommended manufacturer methods for any breaks or jams.
2. Clean the glass inside the photocopy machine
The glass inside the photocopier that you put your documents on to copy is an area that really needs to be kept clean. If you allow dirt, grease or grime to build up on the glass it can really affect the quality of your copy. If it isn’t, you are likely to start seeing obtrusive smears or streaks on your paper copies that may make the page difficult to read or look unprofessional.
3. Dust regularly inside and outside
Your photocopy machine should be cleaned once a day, with a proper photocopier cleaner and dust cloth, particularly if it exists in a high traffic area like an office or school. This will stop dust and any other dirt building up and causing problems.
4. Use the correct photocopier parts
Some of the most common photocopier repairs are due to using the wrong parts in the machine. Check the manual and the model number and make sure you use the right parts for your machine.
5. Regularly clean the paper rollers
Paper jams are the number one complaint when it comes to photocopying but they are easily avoided. A paper jam is often caused by dust build up on the paper rollers which stops them moving smoothly. To maintain your photocopy machine so this stops happening, just give the paper rollers a wipe with a lint free cloth once a week.
