Printer/Cartridge Care
| Printer Care |
| It is recommended to leave a minimum of 6
inches of open space in the back and on both sides of your printer. Leave 12 inches open
space above your computer. |
| Keep desk area clean. Dust, crumbs, animal
hair, and airborne particulates end up in printers. |
| Keep the printer level.(front to back, and side
to side) |
Cleaning for Laser printers: |
Open cover and remove cartridge. Place
cartridge out of direct sunlight.
Spray cloth with water until slightly moist.
Wipe down with cloth; remove toner from jams, remove random toner deposits, remove
paper dust, and look for any foreign items like paper clips, etc.
Open the rear door. Using compressed air (held 6 inches from surfaces), blow out
any dust or debris. Use compressed air to clean the printer, because electrically powered
cleaning devices can cause static electricity that can damage the printer's circuit
boards.
You can wipe off the cartridge exterior (wipe gently), but DO NOT
clean the drum, DO NOT clean the microchip, and DO NOT try to clean the inside of the
cartridge.
Do not leave cartridges unprotected. Light can destroy a cartridge. Light enters
through large and small spaces and will damage the OPC drum.
A Note about textured paper - It looks pretty, but acts like sandpaper in your
printer. It flakes litter inside, abrades rollers, and destroys drums. |
Toner Cartridge Care |
| Toner cartridges are manufactured well and
taking care is mostly a matter of not physically damaging the frame. Problems can arise
because they are made of plastics, and since printers generate heat and may eventually
lead to the most common malfunction - leaks. |
Cleaning for Ink Jet Printers: |
| The well, or the area below where the print
cartridges rest in the printer can become full and actually overflow. Once a month open
the lid of the printer allowing the print cartridges to move into the middle and sop up
any excess ink with a paper towel to avoid problems. |
Ink Jet Cartridge Care |
The best thing to do for an inkjet cartridge is
to never allow it to run 100% dry. Turning off your printer when not in use, helps prevent
drying of ink in the print nozzles. There is a 'capping' mechanism that seals the print
head from outside air when it's turned off. For the capping mechanism to fully engage, use
the on/off power switch on the printer and not by turning off through a power strip.
Handle ink jet cartridges properly when replacing them. The nozzles covered by the
protective tape and clips are easily damaged by touch, which ruins print quality. |
