How To Run Printer IslandThings that need to be done regularly to keep Printer Island going: Printer Island Checklist First we decide whether to go into recycle-prep mode or testing mode. To determine which, we do a basic flow check to balance a) the volume of incoming, b) the volume of tested output, c) work for the recyclers with the following: If we're in recycle mode we process every machine by the following chart: TestingLet's reuse as much as we can! This is a more general look at testing things. Everything on this page.
We also test network cards recovered from machines:
