Kyocera TASKalfa 2554ci Maintenance, What to Clean and When

The Importance of Maintaining Your Kyocera Taskalfa 2554ci

Two surfaces on a TASKalfa 2554ci are yours to clean and everything past them belongs to a technician, so the routine that actually protects print quality comes down to a cloth and about two minutes a week.

The glass platen under the lid, and the narrow slit glass strip beside it.

Kyocera says to use the supplied cleaning cloth on the slit glass, and no water, soap or solvents, because dirt sitting on that strip is what puts a black line down every page the feeder pulls through.

Do it weekly on the TASKalfa 2554ci.

A soft cloth does the platen, same as on the 3554ci.

Past those two surfaces the fuser, the developer unit and the drum are maintenance parts, replaced on a counter rather than cleaned, which is what the preventive maintenance schedule is for.

Toner you swap yourself, and the panel says when, alongside the other day to day habits.

On a lease the parts and the labour are already inside the monthly figure, so booking the visit is the only call you make, and the same holds for Kyocera maintenance across the range.

If prints are still marked once both glass surfaces are clean, the fault is inside the machine and no amount of productivity tuning will cover it.

Not a cloth job.

Regular upkeep keeps the Taskalfa 2554ci running.

A trusted Kyocera printer repair service is what keeps downtime out of your week.

    I would like to express my thanks for the excellent service I received from the service technician who resolved my jammed printer. His persistence and expertise resulted in the discovery of a tiny piece of torn paper that eluded discovery for nearly 30mins. This caused the printer to constantly trigger a jam error. The cost of the service was well worth the result. Many thanks, Anthony Torrens.
    Response from the owner:Hi Anthony, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that our technician was able to track down the tiny piece of paper causing the jam. Sometimes it's the smallest things that create the biggest headaches, and we're pleased their persistence and attention to detail got your printer back up and running. We really appreciate your kind words and your support of our business. If we can ever assist you again, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
