 PM-10 Saves Laser Printers, Reduces Costs

Can Service Contracts Save You Money?
 

Printer warranties expire all too soon, leaving behind the question of whether one should buy a service contract to maintain and protect your laser printer. An annual service contract is only as good as the money it saves. For laser printers, this means preventing damage that can result in lost productivity, costly repair bills, and expensive printer replacement. We have found one service program PM-10 that is well worth considering.

The Value of Annual Service
PM-10 is a preventive maintenance program that is offered by a number of laser printer service companies around the country. Developed by a company on the East Coast, PM-10 was designed to eliminate those factors that most often cause image defects and printer malfunctions.

After years of repairing laser printers, we’ve learned that most breakdowns can be avoided by having a printer professionally serviced at least once a year, said Ed Rish, President of American Business Technology, one of the nation’s largest printer service and supply companies. "I can never understand why anyone would shell out hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars on a high tech piece of equipment

and then fail to ensure that it's cared for properly. Printers need professional-quality maintenance in order to function properly over the long term."

Recent studies confirm that having a printer serviced annually including cleaning, lubrication and replacement of worn parts can actually double its life, in addition the cost of PM-10 is low when compared with repair and replacement bills experienced when printers are not maintained regularly.

Early Warning
The 10-steps of PM-10 include a thorough cleaning of the printer’s interior and a complete inspection of its parts. Worn components, such as separation pads and up to 2 feed tires are replaced as part of the service. Loose screws are tightened and missing screws are replaced. The machine is also lubricated. Upon completion of the service, the technician tests the machine for smooth operation and sharp output.

10 Steps to a Clean Machine
In conjunction with the PM-10 maintenance service, a service technician will notify you of any other problems he or she sees. Having them fixed while the technician is on site is always less expensive than calling back later for repairs or replacement parts.
