11.Maintenance

If you encounter any failure or issue, it is imperative to fix it quickly and correctly. Regular maintenance can make your device last longer and avoid unnecessary outlays.

 

If you use the printer very frequently, smaller parts will wear and need replacing to keep it running to the best of its function. You are recommended to change them as soon as they need replacing, as this will prevent damage or wear to other parts.
