TLC for Your Digital Copier
A digital copier is one of the most in demand equipment in a workplace nowadays. It offers the convenience of having several functions packed in just one machine. It can do any job you need and become any machine you want. It can be a copier, printer, fax machine and a scanner. It can work with papers or documents as well as pictures. It is also the secret to saving a lot of money and effort since a digital copier refrains businesses and establishments to buy several separate machines.
Give the copier some room. Yes it is a single machine but that does not mean that it should be situated in the farthest and tiniest part of the place. Even the machine needs some air you know. Find a location that is accessible for the users to come in make their copies. Make sure that the digital copier is in a position where it is easy to get to at all sides with no obstructions surrounding it. This will assure that the heat will easily scatter away and will not be contained in the machine. Overheating can be prevented thus lengthening the life of your copier. Too much dust accumulating on the copier will also be averted. So you need to worry about fogging the sensors and clogging up the gears.
Clean it regularly. Set a schedule as to when the copier should take some time off from work and be sent to the maintenance and be cleansed thoroughly. It be broken down into pieces with the internal parts be assured to be working perfectly. A compressed air is ideally used to blow off any dirt or particles within the copier. For the flat bed, a glass cleaner can be used and a soft cloth to wipe the other areas.
Have one responsible person. In a workplace, at least one employee should be tasked to handle the maintenance of the copier. Along with that is the duty to keep the copier working at its finest. This will ward of just anybody who wants to fix the copier. It is still best to have the designated person to undergo some kind of training when it comes to dealing with it.
For a digital copier to become the best it can be providing quality reproductions of documents and photos, it requires routine check and maintenance. This does not entail too much work if that is what bothers you. What it only needs is the cooperation of the user while the digital copier is in the middle of an actual operation.
