Self-repair printer is extremely difficult task, so it is desirable to conduct it only if you have a basic set of knowledge about the device of office equipment, that is, you are able to disassemble and assemble it yourself, and also to understand what the cause of the malfunction is. Normally you can remove the jammed sheet of paper yourself, replace the toner or cartridge. Before you begin to repair, it is worthwhile to carefully study all the messages about the malfunction that appeared on the monitor or on the light indicator of the device itself. You will need to diagnose the cause of the problem, otherwise repair of the printer will not be possible. For example, the device may alternately flash indicators, in which case you will need to study the service documentation, as well as information on the Internet relating to this particular model. When a general diagnosis is performed, it will be possible to proceed with the elimination of the defect that has arisen. The most common malfunction is dirt. Because of the pollution, there is an imbalance of mechanisms, the appearance of noise, and much more. Therefore, it is worthwhile to clean and lubricate the printer every 6 months.
Cleaning is carried out using either a special liquid or distilled water. In matrix printers, the shift of the carriage is also often enough to cause a breakdown. And their main malfunction is associated with the contamination of a thin transparent ruler in the device. To repair it, you need to disassemble the printer. Then the ruler needs to be released from the carriage to be washed in warm soapy water. After that, you can put it in place, and then assemble the printer.
