In any modern office, the copier is one of the most relied-upon machines. Whether you’re printing contracts, scanning documents, or making copies for a meeting, a copier that’s working efficiently keeps your business running smoothly. But like any other piece of office equipment, copiers require regular maintenance to stay in top shape. At Tekburg, our experts emphasize that copier maintenance isn't optional – it's essential for saving time, money, and avoiding downtime.
Why Copier Maintenance Matters
Many businesses overlook copier maintenance until something goes wrong. However, neglecting regular care can lead to:
-
Frequent breakdowns
-
Paper jams
-
Poor print quality
-
Increased toner usage
-
Expensive emergency repairs
By maintaining your copier regularly, you extend its lifespan and improve your office's productivity. A well-maintained copier can last years longer and deliver consistent output without sudden malfunctions.
Expert Maintenance Tips from Tekburg
Our technicians have worked with hundreds of copiers across Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Montreal. Here are our top tips to keep your office equipment in great condition:
1. Clean the Copier Regularly
Dust and debris can accumulate inside your copier and affect print quality. Wipe down the glass surface, trays, and control panels weekly. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid using harsh chemicals.
2. Use the Right Paper and Toner
Cheap or incompatible paper can cause jams and damage rollers. Similarly, using low-quality toner may lead to smudged prints and clogged print heads. Always use manufacturer-recommended supplies or purchase them directly from trusted vendors like Tekburg.
3. Avoid Overloading Paper Trays
Loading too much paper or the wrong size can lead to frequent jams. Adjust the tray settings correctly and don’t exceed the recommended capacity.
4. Schedule Preventive Maintenance
Don’t wait for a problem to happen. Set a regular maintenance schedule with a Tekburg service technician. We inspect rollers, clean internal components, and ensure all parts are functioning as they should.
5. Update Copier Firmware
Modern copiers come with smart features and software. Keeping your firmware up to date ensures smoother performance and compatibility with your network systems.
