Instructions to Avoid 3 Common Printer Repairs with Quick Fixes
Printer Repair Dubai – The beauty of technology is it keeps advancing. However, with technology, breakdowns are inevitable. Printers are peripheral devices used to print the graphics and text stored inside the computer on paper. Like any electronic product, there are many parts of the printer that can malfunction and bring the work to a standstill. We have listed down the common printer problems that arise on the day to day basis and the quick fixes without having to send it for printer repair.
1. Endless Waiting time
Problem: Printer taking too long to print
Nothing is more frustrating than indefinite waiting time. And a printer taking too long to print is more difficult to bear as usually, we take the printouts during the office hours when the time is short for an impending presentation or when we have to report to our boss with some hard figures. However, it is always advisable to do the root cause analysis rather than delivering some loose statement. Usually, the reason behind the slow printing is a high-resolution setting, or low memory or the choice of the drivers.
Fixes: If you are looking for a gallery quality print, then you have to bear with the slow print. However, if you are not looking for regular office documents, then change the settings to draft, normal or standard.
Consider adding memory to the printer, which will keep the printer running effortlessly.
The driver settings can also have an impact on the speed of the printing. As a rule of thumb, PCL is ideal for office printing and PostScript is best-suited for graphics.
Tip: Always keep the printing mode as Simplex instead of two-sided. You will end up using more paper with single-sided printing in the simplex mode but will have the printer running more efficiently.
2. Which is more frustrating paper jams or road jams?
Problem: Paper Jams
The background remains the same. You are running late for the meeting and the paper is trapped in the printer. Is this problem becoming more often than usual?
Solution: First off, check if the paper quality is supported by the printer. And keep the papers in the storage where the moisture doesn’t accumulate on the paper which is usually the case resulting in the paper jams.
Usually, it’s the misaligned paper that causes the paper jam, in that case, remove the tray, stack the paper neatly and reset the tray. However, if the paper jam is occurring without a seemingly disturbed array of papers, check if the paper stack is squared properly, reset it in the right position and watch the printer humming down happily.
Tip: Keep the user manual handy and refer to it when you are unable to sort out the paper jams. More often than not, this step will help you fix the issue.
3. Deep Silence
Problem: Printer isn’t budging
While you know the paper jam can prevent printing, not printing is another problem without actually a seemingly valid cause.
Solution: First things first. Check if you have sent the print command to the right printer. To make your printer the default printer, navigate to ‘Printers and Faxes’ in Control Panel. Right Click on your printer icon, and select ‘Set as Default Printer’.
Before you go for some serious printer repair, first check if the paper is fed into the printer and all the cables are secure.
Despite working on the trivial issues, the printer still refuses to sing, then try restarting the printer. This should have the printer up and hum. However, if it doesn’t, then there is always the last resort, which is to turn in for printer repair solutions.
