- Each time you restock the machine, prepare the paper.
Refill your paper with caution. When handling paper into your copier, there is a proper technique to do it. Take the paper out of the sealed container. Although most people understand this, there have been instances where clients have just dropped the wrapped ream into the machine. You may save time later on by stacking everything neatly, evenly, and tightly in the paper guides. Do you know what it means to “fan” a ream of paper before inserting it into a cassette? Paper fanning is more likely to cause injury than not. In fact, when you fan the paper, it can generate a static electrical charge that causes the sheets to adhere to one another. Additionally, be careful not to overfill the tray.
- Adjust the paper tray guides.
Also a very easy procedure, but once again it involves appropriately configuration for the copier to reliably feed paper into the device so that it does not block. The guides should be examined and, if necessary, reset each time the paper is replaced. The guides should be in contact with the paper, but not too tightly. It ought to direct rather than constrain the article.
- Wipe the rollers.
You would need to spend some time wiping the rollers with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth each time you replace the paper in the copier. The dust that is contained in paper can adhere to the rollers and start to accumulate as it is run over them. The purpose of rollers is to hold onto the paper and move it through the copier. Therefore, they are less likely to perform well when they have a lot of dust buildup, which might lead to the copier feeding paper incorrectly.
- Use the manual feed when printing on thicker paper.
On thicker types of paper, the majority of copiers can accept and copy. Please check the copier’s specs or manual before buying and using thicker paper to make sure you are only using paper with appropriate thicknesses for your particular copier. Additionally, utilise the manual feed when passing card stock or thicker paper through your copier. As a result, the paper’s journey through the copier can be made shorter and straighter (with fewer turns or bends).
- Use the suitable copy paper.
Use the suitable copy paper. Copy paper varies widely in quality. Copier repairing issues may result from using the incorrect type of paper which means you need to purchase good quality paper. For further information on the correct paper type for your machine, see the technical handbook for your copier or search online for the specifications. Copier machines may also use 22–24 lb. paper in addition to the regular 20 lb. weight. There are several various types. You might also want to explore about using recyclable or better-quality (feel and brightness) paper. All of these are worthwhile factors to take into account, but you must make sure they are the proper size and weight for your copier. Don’t forget to keep your paper in a warm, dry environment.
