Keeping an Office Copier and Printer in Top Shape
All hands need to be on deck to keep your Kyocera TASKalfa 3554ci in top shape. Workers need to care for the copier by reacting quickly when any glitches are discovered. If necessary, an appointment with a professional service team may also need to be scheduled.
Warming Up the Copier When It Is Cold
When the office closes for the weekend, the Kyocera TASKalfa 3554ci stops functioning temporarily too. It goes into sleep mode which uses 0.5 W of power and requires a certain process to be awakened. When it eventually wakes up, it automatically enters into calibration mode. This needs some time for its drum to warm up before it can print efficiently. The Kyocera TASKalfa 3554ci takes approximately 18 seconds or less to complete this whole process. During this period, just wait patiently and refrain from pressing any buttons. When ready, the device makes use of 40 W of power.
