Why copier failures hurt more than printer failures

Modern copiers are multifunction devices. When one fails you can lose copying, scan-to-email, faxing and network printing at the same moment.

  • High-volume copying for meetings and client packets
  • Legal and financial documents with strict quality requirements
  • Collating, stapling and finishing for proposals
  • Scan-to-email and scan-to-folder workflows
  • Fax for contracts and time-sensitive documents

Copier service options

On-site repair: technicians are dispatched with diagnostic equipment and common parts, often the same day. In-shop diagnostics: bring the machine to our Novato service center for a thorough workup. Preventive maintenance: cleaning, drum and developer replacement, firmware updates and calibration on a schedule that suits your volume.

Your copier may just need a good servicing and cleaning. The drum may be nearing the end of its life, or the toner may be bad. Whatever the cause, we can address it.

Common copier problems we fix

  • Complex paper jams

    Copiers have long paper paths, multiple trays and finishers. We check feed-roller wear, sensors and misalignments so jams stop recurring.

  • Crinkled or wrinkled copies

    Usually worn feed rollers, damp paper, wrong paper settings or a fuser problem. We identify which and correct it.

  • Streaks, spots and faded backgrounds

    Drum wear, developer problems, fuser faults or dirty optics. We restore clean copies and color registration.

  • Document feeder (ADF) misfeeds

    Worn pickup rollers and separation pads cause skewed or damaged originals. We replace and recalibrate the feeder.

  • Touchscreen, scan-to-email and network faults

    SMTP changes, password updates and firmware issues break scanning and printing. We get the device talking to your network again.

  • Stapler, hole-punch and finisher problems

    Finishers need precise adjustment. We service all major finishing options.
