What should you do to ensure the customer retains servicing information when replacing a part without a laser-etched service label?

When replacing a part that lacks a laser-etched service label, placing a spare paper service label on the new part is the most effective action to ensure that the customer retains servicing information. This approach provides an immediate, clear identification method for the new part, reflecting necessary details that might include part number, warranty information, or service history. This label acts as a reference point for the customer and future technicians when servicing the device, ultimately promoting better service continuity and ensuring that relevant information is identifiable.

Providing a printed service manual would certainly give the customer valuable resources, but it may not address the specific need to label the new part directly. While having documented service manuals on hand is helpful, it doesn't replace the need for a visible label on the part itself. Similarly, giving a temporary replacement without any label would further complicate tracking and identifying the part's service history. Taking a picture of the original label for documentation is useful for record-keeping, but it does not solve the need for an identifiable label on the new part, which could lead to confusion during future maintenance or repairs.
