Is your printer ready for large projects? 
The economy is turning around, and while it may not be in full swing, you should be prepared for a pick up in your project workload.  Part of preparing for quickly approaching project due dates is to make sure you have the needed printer supplies and printer service done before your need it.   Your printer may have been sitting unused all summer and it may require printer service and maintenance, printer parts or printer supplies to get started.   Go through the following steps to make sure your printer is ready:

Printer Service and Printer Supplies Checklist
Proper printer maintenance and printer service can prolong the life of your printer and avoid major printer service calls.

• Test Print - Make sure your printer is functioning correctly; perform a test print by following the instructions on your printer.
• Clean Printer - Remove printer paper dust and clean the exterior and accessible printer parts. 
• Check Moving Printer Parts - Printers have several different printer parts working together at once.  If it appears that one of those parts is not operating properly, refer to your manual for the proper printer service advice.  Printer parts and printer service parts are available for purchase and can be installed without a costly printer service call. 
• Printer Service Parts – You can be a self-maintainer by ordering printer service parts to install yourself with technical support assistance.  Knowing that printer service calls can be timely and costly, order printer service parts from an authorized dealer to install yourself, and be back up and running in no time at all. 
• Printer Supplies – Make sure that all your printer supplies, such as ink or toner, are stocked and ready for use as needed.  Running out of printer supplies should not happen if you are prepared.

Being prepared will eliminate frustration during your project deadline crunch.
