• Confirm the ETA will meet their needs. If not, take other actions that will.

• When you arrive, identify yourself and request to speak with the key contact or operator. Ask the customer for the specific problems they have encountered with the machine and request sample copies of the problem. Have the customer demonstrate if possible.

• Clean the machine from top to bottom. Clean the optics, optics cavity, inside the copier. Ask for permission to run the vacuum and vacuum toner spillage, paper dust, and all paper paths.
• Restore corona wires and ensure proper wipe down of all internal components. If machine has charging rollers, wipe them down with a lint free cloth.

• Have the customer test the machine with an original of their choice. Make sure they are totally satisfied.

• If a service call  is incomplete and requires more time, let the customer know what is needed and an ETA of when you will return. Follow-up with the customer as needed to keep them informed of any changes that may impede your return.
• If a field manager or equipment specialist is needed for assistance, begin proactive maintenance procedures; this will save valuable time when assistance does arrive.
