Having a printer break down on you unexpectedly will cause major
problems in your work environment and cause many delays and frustrations.
By having your printer serviced on a regular basis, regardless of
whether or not it is displaying evident problems, could save you
from the hassle of being printer-free for a day or more. Having
your printer cleaned quarterly will save you the cost of having
the dirt in your printer interfere with other mechanisms, causing
even greater damage and cost. Regular replacements of parts such
as pick-up rollers and ozone filters, small and economical items,
could avoid problems such as paper jams, accordion jams, and multiple
paper pick-ups.
