For most folks, copiers are an expensive piece of equipment. Purchasing and using this type of equipment is great and easy – up until some component of the machine fails. In nearly all cases, this is bound to happen. While you can certainly try to fix the machine yourself, there are a number of issues with this approach.
Fixing a copier on your own can exacerbate the problem, it can take you hours to fix the issue, and you may not be doing the best job without direction. Rather than struggle through the whole process and increase your risk of mistake, you should simply consult the copier service manual that came with your machines. If you have lost your manuals or did not received them, there are a number of ways you can obtain copies.
Online Resources
The first step is to check online. There are dozens of online resources that can provide you with a manual for your particular machine. If you do not find a service copy for your particular machine at one site, just keep looking – there are so many options you’ll eventually find the exact manual you need. All you need to do is to search your make and model. The entire process is extremely easy.
Ask Friends
If absolutely cannot find your particular model online, then another option is to ask a friend who also has the same machine. If your friend has the same machine, then they are likely to have their own copy of the service manual. You may just want to ask politely and promise to return the manual in case they need it at a later date. If you do not have a friend that may have a copy of the service manual, then there is also the last resort.
The Company
Finally, if all else fails, which is unlikely, you should also consider contacting the company directly. Companies that produce the machines are likely to have the service manual in stock and they usually have no issue with directly sending you a copy through the mail. The only issue with this approach is that it can get pretty complicated getting in contact with the right individual who can help you. Therefore, this option may be the most inconvenient.
Summary
Overall, a service manual is a critical item if you are looking to repair or learn how to use your product. You’ll find the job much easier when you’ve got the proper directions to get the job done.
