Service Maintenance Procedure
Perform the following procedures whenever you check, service, or repair a printer.
Cleaning the printer, as outlined in the following steps, assures proper operation of
the printer and reduces the probability of having to service the printer in the
future.
The frequency of use, Average Monthly Print Volume (AMPV), type of media
printed on, and operating environment are factors in determining how critical
cleaning the machine is and how often it is necessary. Record the number of
sheets printed.
