Photocopiers can be extremely temperamental. If they go wrong, they usually need to be fixed by a technician.

In addition to basic operation of the photocopier, you should also find out:

• Is there a company that services the photocopier, who you can ring in case of a fault?
   
• Where spare ink and paper for the photocopier is stored.
   
• How to replace ink cartridges and add paper.

If your photocopier malfunctions, check the following:

• Has the paper supply run out?
   
• Has the ink cartridge run out?
   
• Is there a paper jam?
