Return a defective item during the warranty period for repair or replacement
	1.	If you are having a problem with an item or a printer that was purchased from Lake Erie Systems, we would like to attempt to resolve the issue over the phone as our first course of action. Before requesting an RMA, call our free tech support line, and ask to speak to a technician. Please call, or have your technical person call, when you are near the item to facilitate troubleshooting the issue. Call 1-800-570-4533 weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm EST. If a manufacturer's warranty applies, you will be referred to the manufacturer to make a warranty claim.
