7Maintaining the printer
Periodically, you need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. These tasks are covered in this chapter.
If several people are using the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to do the setup and maintenance of your
printer. Refer printing problems and maintenance tasks to this key operator.
Contact the place where you bought the printer for information about authorized supplies dealers in your area.
