Cleaning and Maintenance
Service preventive maintenance procedure
Whenever you check, service, or repair a printer, you should perform the following procedures. Cleaning the printer, as outlined in the following steps, assures proper operation of the printer and reduces the probability of having to service the printer in the future. The frequency of use and the type of paper a customer prints on determines how critical cleaning the machine is. Users of ordinary Bond paper (copier paper) should have very few problems since this paper is smooth and relatively dust-free. You should thoroughly inspect and clean these printers. Ask each printer customer about the type of paper he or she uses so that you can be sure to clean the parts of the printer that particular paper may affect. If a customer is printing on the more unusual or dustier papers, then you should pay particular attention to these printer parts:
