Whether a printer/copier is 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.
