How to Use Office Equipment thumbnail


Instructions Using the Photocopier


1 Read the instruction manual provided for the photocopier. Locate the power switch and turn the machine on. Allow sufficient time for the machine to warm up; older machines can take more time than newer models.

2 Lift the cover and place the document you wish to copy face down on the glass. Take care to position it properly; most photocopiers have markings showing where to place documents. Lower the cover and, using the control panel, select the number of copies you wish to make. Push "start" and the copying should commence.

3Use the automatic feed on your copier to copy documents several pages in length. Following the guide next to the feed, position your stack of documents; many photocopiers auto-feed documents face up. See if your photocopier has options for automatically collating and stapling your documents -- most newer models do. Select these options on the digital display, press "start," and your stack of documents will be photocopied, collated and stapled for you.


    Using a fax machine

        4 Read the manufacturer's instructions. Check that the fax machine is plugged into a power source and a phone jack before turning it on. Get the fax number for the destination of the fax you are sending. Arrange the documents you are sending in order.

        5 Fill out a coversheet for your fax; this will contain the recipient's name and fax number, the name of your boss or office, the fax number for your office, a short message to the recipient and the number of pages, including the coversheet.

        6   Position the documents face up in the feeder tray. Dial the recipient's fax number. Press "send' or "fax" to send the document, depending on the machine you are using.

        7 Ensure that there's plenty of ink in your machine's toner cartridge and that there's plenty of paper, so you can receive a fax smoothly. Wait for the phone to ring, but do not answer it; this indicates a fax is coming in. Listen for the "handshake" tones that tell you the sender's fax machine and your fax machine are communicating. Watch your fax machine start printing and wait until the entire document has come through.

        8 Check the number of pages you received against the number given on the cover sheet to be sure the whole fax has come through. Contact the sender to confirm receipt of this document.

  16. (a) Work equipment must be selected which is suitable, by design, construction or adaption, for its intended purpose in its particular place of use (perhaps it might be used in a high risk area such as in a flammable atmosphere or in wet conditions) and it must be suitable for the process and conditions of use.

    Risk assessments, carried out by departments in accordance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 and concerning work equipment, must address potential risks and identify appropriate control measures.

    (b) Where a risk assessment carried out by any department has identified a significant risk of injury from the installation or use of work equipment the department must arrange for a suitable inspection (which may include test) to be carried out by a competent person and recorded.

    (c) Departments must ensure that work equipment is subject to proper maintenance (so that performance does not deteriorate to the extent that it puts people at risk) carried out by persons competent for the work. The complexity and frequency of maintenance will vary with the type of equipment and its conditions of use. Planned preventative maintenance may be necessary. Wherever possible maintenance should be in accordance with manufacturers' instructions. Departments are advised to keep a maintenance log.

    (d) Departments must ensure that all those who use, supervise or manage work equipment have available to them adequate health and safety information and instructions on the use of the work equipment. In complex cases or where significant risk is involved in any incorrect use of the equipment, the information and instructions should be in writing and should include information concerning any foreseeable difficulties and instructions on the procedures necessary to deal with them. The information supplied by manufacturers (which must be in English) will be sufficient to satisfy these requirements. In addition, departments should ensure that all relevant information is passed to persons who maintain the equipment.

    (e) Departments must ensure that all users, supervisors, managers and maintainers of work equipment receive adequate training, taking into account the risks involved and the particular circumstances of use of the equipment. Persons who use or maintain work equipment must be competent. Departments should keep a written record of training.
