Background

During the operation of the copier, in addition to normal wear and tear, it is also affected by dust and other debris from inside and outside the copier, resulting in poor copy quality and operational failures.

Necessary maintenance can improve the working quality of the photocopier, extend its service life and save maintenance costs. Regular cleaning, sorting and adjustment are the key to ensure the normal operation of the photocopier.

Therefore, in daily work, we must pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of our photocopier. Here are 5 tips for your copier maintenance:

1. Clean the top cover

Due to contact with various manuscripts and being touched by hands, the white plastic lining or conveyor belt will turn black, causing black stains on the corners of the copy. You can use cotton gauze dipped in some detergent to wipe repeatedly, then wipe with clean water, and then wipe dry.

Note: Do not wipe with organic solvents such as alcohol and ether.

2. Clean the glass of the manuscript table

The glass of the manuscript table is easily stained by manuscripts and hands, and is also easily scratched. So, regular cleaning and maintenance can ensure good copying results.

Avoid direct contact with the glass of the manuscript table with your hands during work. If it is bound, the pins, paper clips, staples, etc. on the manuscript should be removed and placed in the designated location.

The original that has been altered must wait until the correction fluid is dry before copying. When you clean the glass of the manuscript table, please avoid wiping it with organic solvents. Because the glass of the manuscript table is coated with a light-transmitting coating and a conductive coating, these coatings are insoluble in water but soluble in organic substances.

3. Clean the circuit system

The circuit system has been working under high voltage for a long time, adsorbing a large amount of dust, which causes the resistivity between electronic components to decrease, causing the current to break through the electronic components and burn the circuit board.

4. Remove the used toner cartridges

Be careful when you remove the used cartridges to prevent the toner from being inhaled by the human body.

5. Replace accessories

After a certain number of copies, the consumable parts of the copier may need to be replaced due to wear (such as cleaning blades, electrode wires, separation claws, paper pickup roller, etc.).
