Paper.
Don't buy cheap paper.
Paper can be dusty which will damage your pickup rollers and you will spend more money
repairing your machine than you save on paper. See
our paper.
Maintenance.
Regularly carry out the
maintenance procedures detailed in your handbook.
Siting.
Site your printer
sensibly. Keep it out of the sun and off the floor.
Labels.
Never put part sheets of labels
through your laser printer. If you really must use part sheets then use and inkjet
printer or a label printer.
OHP Film.
Beware of putting OHP film or
transparencies through your printer. Take care to purchase the correct type
for your machine. Inkjet transparencies will damage your laser printer.
Paper Guides.
Your printer is equipped with
guides to ensure the paper feeds through your printer straight. Use them to
avoid paper jams.
Paper Jams.
When you experience a paper jam
take care how you remove the jammed paper. When possible, pull the paper out the way
it went in. If the paper tears when you remove it, keep all the pieces and put them
together to make sure you have removed a complete sheet.
Use It!
If you have an inkjet printer that
is used infrequently make sure you print a test sheet once each week. Inkjet
printers that are left for prolonged periods without use can get blocked heads caused by
drying ink. By printing just one sheet each week you can prolong the life of
your cartridges by ensuring the ink will flow.
Sharp Objects.
Do not be tempted to insert
scissors or other sharp objects into your printer. You can cause expensive
damage.
Drivers.
Using the latest revision of
driver for your printer will ensure that you get the best communication between your
computer and printer.
