Building a Factory Acceptance Checklist for a Printer
Agree a factory acceptance checklist before shipment and link it to the purchased configuration. It should document visible condition, functional checks and the specified sample output.
Define what is being accepted
Identify the model, serial number, included accessories and software scope. Record agreed checks with the supplier and avoid substituting unrelated demonstration footage. State who reviews the evidence and how exceptions are resolved.
Keep a usable handover record
Save check results, sample files, photographs and the final packing list. Confirm unresolved items in writing. Acceptance evidence should help installation and support later, not simply mark a sales milestone.
Production checklist
Use these checkpoints to prepare a trial or discuss the configuration with your supplier. Record the result for each item before approving a production change.
- Configuration and serial identity
- Agreed functional checks
- Sample and evidence archive
- Exception resolution
Is a video of a running printer a full acceptance test?
No. A useful test relates the specific machine and configuration to agreed checks and documented results.
