Signs that your copier is malfunctioning
Small copier issues often go unnoticed until they become disruptive problems. To help you avoid those headaches, we’re going to cover common copier problems and explain how we can provide solutions.
- Dots, lines, or streaks on the paper – Do your copies come out blemished? That’s often caused by dust or smudges on the copier’s scanning mirror or the glass where you place the original document. Try cleaning these surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth — that will usually clear up the issue. Regular maintenance and cleaning can go a long way in preventing copier problems. But you’re still having issues, the drum or fusers may be the culprit. In that case, call us right away for copier repair in NY so we can diagnose the issue and replace the necessary parts.
- Wrinkled pages – If wrinkled paper is causing jams in your copier, it’s more than just an annoyance — it can actually damage the machine. This is frequently a sign of worn-out paper feeds, trays, or exit rollers. To fix this, we’ll likely need to replace those worn components.
- Copies that are too light or too dark – Your copier’s settings might be the culprit if the copies are too dark or too light. Check if it’s on low (light) or high (dark) density. If the issue persists even with the correct settings, the problem may be with the drum or an old toner. Try to change the toner cartridge, and call us if that doesn’t work.
- Paper jam – Copiers can jam when you use the wrong paper or load the sheets improperly in the paper tray. To prevent this, make sure to use the right paper type and that all sheets are aligned properly in the tray.
- Toner cartridge problems – Are your copies consistently faded or showing unusual colors? Confirm you’re using the correct toner cartridge model for your copier and that it’s installed properly. To maintain your copier, always replace the toner cartridge immediately with a brand-new, undamaged unit as soon as you get a low-toner warning.
If you’ve followed these steps and are still having problems, it’s possible that your copier needs professional maintenance or even a replacement.
