ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Workgroup devices sold through retail and traditional IT distribution outlets usually are maintained by office workers who change the all-in-one cartridge units that encase the entire imaging system, including the toner cartridge (or the ink cartridges employed by ink-jet imaging systems). Units sold through resellers and dealers are usually maintained by office workers and/or trained service engineers. While separate long-life parts are more complex to install (i.e., separate toner cartridges, imaging drums, transfer belts), they tend to cost less than low- yield, all-in-one alternatives.

Toner or Ink Replacement

Changing the toner, imaging cartridge or ink cartridge is a necessary task that is traditionally is avoided by some for fear of toner dust or ink leaking on clothing or hands, or the fear that it might be too complicated. However, most units today offer clean replacement of toner or ink supplies, and there is very little risk of toner or ink leakage. Usually the replacement process is typically easy.

Clearing Media Misfeeds

The main issue that office users attempt to avoid is the removal of an occasional media misfeed. As a general rule, the faster a device engine, and the more media handling and finishing options it has, the more complex is the process of removing media misfeeds.

Common media-misfeed sources involve the duplex unit and poor loading of media supplies. The position of the duplex unit may be a major factor in the removal of many media misfeeds. How easy or difficult it is to load media supplies can also be a factor in the overall number of misfeeds that may occur.

Loading Media

It goes without saying that loading media should be as easy as possible, but sometimes that is not the case. Among the factors that affect ease-of-use are:

The user should be able to load an entire ream (500 sheets) in a single step.

Mechanisms such as corner separators and ramps in

the media drawer can impede loading media.

The most critical factor involved in ease-of-loading media is automatic media-size detection. Ultimately, the device should be able to recognize the new media size and reflect it on its control panel/touch screen and across the network in print drivers and printer-management software. Without automatic media-size detection, users must remember to program-in the new media size—something they often neglect to do, or do incorrectly. This can result in jobs printed on the wrong media size, backed-up job logs, etc.
