Should You Repair or Replace Your Office Photocopier?

A way to weigh the repair bill against the age of the machine and what the office needs from it. Written 19 June 2026. Read the guide

More help

Fault guides that start from the symptom are on the copier and printer faults page. Go back to all posts, or ring (07) 3073 5255 if the machine is down now.

Ask the people who print

The operator knows first

The person who feeds the paper in every morning knows when the machine started misbehaving. Tuesday after the storm, perhaps, or since somebody loaded the heavier stock. That one detail is worth more than a service manual.

Tell us the first thing you noticed, even if it sounds small. Often it is nearly the whole answer.

Questions people ask us on the phone

Are these posts aimed at technicians?

No. They are written for office managers and anyone who ends up looking after the copier.

Is it safe to try the fixes in the jam post myself?

The post sticks to checks that are safe at the desk, and says where to stop. Never force a sheet out of a hot fuser.

Where do I find posts about industry changes?

On the Industry News page, which sits beside this one.
