bellow. How ever there are some tricks, which can prolong the life of some parts, such as: the
silicone felt cleaning roller, the aligning roller, the paper pick up and feed rollers. For example:
given the machine is maintained properly the OPC drum can easily make twice the normal copies
recommended by the manufacturer. After the 400 000 to 600 000 period it is possible to encounter a
variety of defects in certain modules such as the fuser, developer, feeding and drive system modules.
How ever there is nothing to worry – there will be a special article dedicated only to defects not
mentioned in the service manual.
As I always mention: most of the defects in copiers that are still under 400 000 copies are
due to poor maintenance and cleaning.
1. PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE – USEFUL PRACTICES (TOSHIBA 2060/2860)
Inspection every 80,000 Copies

confirm the general operation of the machine by making a few copies and comparing them to those
made previously.
Inspection and Overhaul every 240,000 Copies
(1) Replace all the consumables.
(2) Check to see if there is any damage to the parts of driving section (gear, pulley, timing belt, etc.).
Replace parts on principle if damaged.
