The Importance of Regular Copier Maintenance

Let’s face it — copiers don’t exactly get the spotlight in the office. They sit there quietly, day in and day out, churning out reports, invoices, contracts, and everything in between. But when they go down? Oh, everyone notices. As someone who’s helped hundreds of businesses across Las Vegas keep their copiers running smoothly, I can tell you: regular copier maintenance isn’t optional — it’s essential.

Whether you own, lease, or rent your copier through us at Tangerine Office Machines, here’s why you should make maintenance a priority.


1. It Prevents Costly Downtime

You’ve got a big meeting at 9 AM. You try to print your deck. The copier jams. Again.
Sound familiar?

Regular maintenance helps catch small issues before they become major problems. We’re talking about:

  • Replacing worn rollers

  • Clearing hidden dust or debris

  • Updating firmware

  • Checking for software errors

A 30-minute check-up now can save you hours (and a lot of stress) later.


2. It Extends the Life of Your Machine

Copiers aren’t cheap. Protect your investment by keeping it in top shape. Just like a car needs oil changes, your copier needs routine care — even if it’s still working fine. With regular service, many copiers can run reliably for years beyond their expected lifespan.

Pro tip: If you’re leasing, you’ll also avoid surprise damage charges when your lease ends. Win-win.


3. It Improves Print Quality

Ever noticed streaks on your prints? Faded text? Weird lines?
Chances are, your machine’s drums, rollers, or toner system need a little love.

Regular maintenance ensures your copier continues to produce crisp, clean, professional-looking documents — which, let’s be honest, reflects on your business too.


4. It Keeps Things Secure

Modern copiers are basically computers. They store data, connect to networks, and can even be vulnerable to security threats.
Regular maintenance often includes:

  • Software updates

  • Security patching

  • Clearing stored data properly

It’s one of the best ways to keep sensitive information — like client contracts or financial documents — safe and secure.


5. It Saves You Money in the Long Run

Sure, maintenance has a cost. But you know what costs more?

  • Emergency service calls

  • Replacement parts

  • Downtime for your whole team

  • Early equipment replacement

At Tangerine, we offer affordable service plans to make regular maintenance part of your routine — not a reactive panic move when things go sideways.
