3 Signs Your Office Equipment is About to Fail—And What to Do Next

Most businesses wait until their printer or copier completely breaks before acting—but the warning signs are often there. Catching them early can save time, money, and frustration.

Warning Sign #1: Constant Paper Jams

An occasional jam is normal. Frequent ones may signal issues with rollers, humidity control, or internal wear. If your team is clearing jams weekly, it’s time for a deeper look.

Warning Sign #2: Declining Print Quality

Lines, streaks, faded colors, or uneven output typically point to worn parts or misalignment. Don’t let bad prints ruin presentations or paperwork.

Warning Sign #3: Sluggish Performance

When printing slows down noticeably—or you hear unusual sounds—it could mean hardware strain. Machines don’t age gracefully without attention.
