Long Term Storage Care of Office Equipment, Copiers, MFP

During these trying times please note if you will out of the office or not using all your office equipment please follow the recommend steps below to avoid damaged of equipment.

Before Leaving the Machine:  Turn OFF the main power and unplug the power cable.  Remove the paper from all paper trays, including the Bypass Tray, and store the paper in a seal-able bag. This is to prevent moisture in the paper from causing paper jams and deformation of the Paper Feed Roller.  Retract the Bypass Tray into the mainframe and cover the ADF with a cloth. This is to prevent damage caused by dust.  For models with a Fusing Pressure Lever or Envelope Lever, release the lever according to the instructions for paper jam removal or set lever to envelope position. This is to prevent deterioration of the Pressure Roller. (For almost all A4/LT models) After Returning to the Machine:  Wipe the device with a dry cloth to prevent damage caused by dust.  If there is paper in the paper tray, replace it with brand new paper if possible.  Perform a test print of about 10 sheets to check the operation and print quality. If a peripheral is installed, also test other functions, such as stapling, punching, etc.

  • Inspect all paper path components for wear and clean surfaces of paper lint
