Due to service adjustments in the Singapore market, iCHEF now provides full remote support only in Singapore, with no longer offering repair or backup printer services.
All hardware repairs will be handled by the authorized local hardware vendor (Spartan), while iCHEF provides remote configuration and software support.
Repair Process
Step 1 – Confirm the Issue
Before contacting Spartan for repair, please prepare and confirm the following information:
- Printer model
- Issue description (e.g., not printing, paper jam, won’t power on)

Reminder:
Please contact iCHEF Customer Support first, so we can perform remote troubleshooting (e.g., hardware settings, network connection). If the issue is confirmed to be hardware-related, proceed to Step 2.
