Printing Tips

1. Use the Right Paper

• Always check your printer’s recommended paper weight and type.
• Using the wrong paper can cause jams, faded prints, or uneven toner coverage.
• Store paper in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption.

2. Keep Your Printer Clean

• Dust and debris can build up and affect print quality.
• Wipe exterior surfaces regularly and follow manufacturer guidelines for interior cleaning.
• Avoid using household cleaners - use lint-free cloths and proper printer-safe wipes.

3. Turn It Off When Not in Use

• Leaving a printer on continuously can shorten component life and waste energy.
• Power it off during long breaks or weekends for both energy savings and longevity.

4. Use Quality Cartridges

• Genuine or high-quality compatible toner makes a big difference in print clarity and page yield..
• Reliable Print offers tested and guaranteed cartridges that meet OEM performance.

5. Handle Cartridges Carefully

• Never touch the drum surface or expose cartridges to direct sunlight.
• Always store extra toner cartridges in a cool, dry place, sealed in their protective bags.

6. Print in Batches

• Printers warm up every time they start - printing multiple pages at once reduces wear on fusers and rollers.
• Combine small jobs into one batch to save toner and energy.

7. Perform Routine Maintenance

• Schedule routine service checks, especially for high-volume printers.
• Reliable Print offers on-site maintenance to help extend your printer’s lifespan and performance.

8. Recycle Responsibly

• Don’t throw empty cartridges in the trash.
