Preventing printer problems
The following suggestions are not intended to be
prescriptive or comprehensive. Always refer to the documentation
accompanying your printer before attempting any preventive
maintenance on the machine.
-
Vacuum around inside occasionally to prevent a build-up
of loose paper particles.
-
Make sure that any belts used are at
the proper tension.
-
Clean the paper and ribbon paths periodically. Use
a dry lint-free cloth. Plastic gloves will protect
your hands from ink residue build-up.
-
Clean the corona wires and rollers on a laser.
-
Do not lubricate any moving parts, except as
directed by your owner's manual.
-
Try to maintain a narrow range of temperature
and humidity around printers. Some printer components may
be sensitive to environmental changes.
