Importance of regular maintenance cleanings.
Besides selling copiers and Label presses, On-Site Imaging Solutions does a lot of repairs every day. We repair almost every make and model out there, from multi function copiers to laser printers. We work on a lot of office and business machines. One of the most common questions I get asked is, how often should I have my office machine maintained? That is an important question, especially if you depend on your machine every day. A copier or a printer in a lot of ways are just like a car. They both have moving mechanical parts, and because of this, they both have to be serviced on a regular basis in order for them not to break down. And just like a car that has tires, a copier or a printer also have tires, only they are called pick up rollers. Depending on the make and model, pick up rollers will last anywhere from 60,000 to 350,000 pages, some go even higher! When we do a cleaning on a machine, we always look at the pick up rollers, specifically the treads. Just like the treads on the tire of the car, pick up rollers on a copier also have treads, and if they are worn bad enough, they will cause a lot of paper jams. New pick up rollers are easily put in to take care of this problem! So, here’s the question, why don’t people use a can of pressurized air? Most people know the answer to this question because it’s so obvious, because if you do, you’ll get dust all over the windows and mirrors and upholstery and basically everything! It will be a bigger mess than when…
