15.3 Scheduled Servicing Basic Procedure
15.3.1 Scheduled Servicing Basic Procedure
- As a rule, provide scheduled servicing every 40,000 prints.
- Before paying a scheduled visit, check the Service Record, and take any parts likely to need replacement.
- If the machine's power plug remains connected to a wall outlet for a long time in a site where there is much
dust, moisture, or oil smoke, it can collect these elements and trigger insulation failure or fires. Be sure to
disconnect the power plug periodically and clean the plug and the area around it with a dry cloth.

Check the general condition.
