Practical use of printer tips

Whether it is a laser printer or ink-jet printer, in front of ordinary operators always slightly "squeamish", in the course of operation, if a little attention, it may appear such or such a fault problem, which for our efficient use of the printer has brought no small trouble. As long as we pay attention to some details, we can solve the problem caused by printing trouble; In addition, proper mastery of some operations can greatly improve the printing efficiency.

1, adjust the background settings

In the process of using the spray, we sometimes find that the printer's output speed significantly slower than before; in the case of excluding the printer itself, there is a sudden slowdown in the phenomenon, it is likely that the background settings for the printer has been unintentionally modified; At this point, we might as well in the system's Start menu, sequentially "/" Printer command, in the window that appears later, right-click the printer icon, and from the shortcut menu that opens, perform the Properties command, and in the Open Property settings box, open the Details tab page, and then in the Print Spooler Settings section of this page, You can effectively increase printing speed by selecting the print speed "or direct output to printer" option when you run the job in the background.

2. To master the distance of paper feed

Many people think that "feed" paper to the printer is a very simple thing, but it is not, because in the printing process, the phenomenon of paper feed is often appear, resulting in the final printing is invalid. The reason why paper is prone to tilt is because we did not close the printed paper to the right side of the tray, or to send tray left sliding bezel. If you send tray to the left of the sliding bezel off the paper too far, then in the paper sheet will be prone to slide into the direction of the sliding baffle phenomenon; If the bezel is too close to the paper, the pressure on the printed sheet will be too high, which will increase the friction between the printed paper and the baffle, thereby causing the paper to hinder. So when you give the printer "feed" paper, be sure to control the distance between the printed paper and the tray sliding bezel.

3. Remove obstructions

The correct placement of paper, and the implementation of PRINT commands, if the printer can not feed, then the ten is the printer's mechanical transmission part of the failure, such as paper feed sensor problems, there may be the inside of the printer obstructions, jammed the sensor's heavy vertical pole. When encountering this kind of malfunction, we usually take the "gimmick" that is, first the power off the printer, and then the ink-jet printer, and then put it upside down, while gently shaking the printer body, so that "hidden" inside the printer will be the obstruction is poured out, the sensor's heavy vertical rod can naturally droop, At this point the printer is unable to feed the phenomenon generally can be solved. However, if the ink in the ink-jet printer is used up, it may also cause the printer to not feed properly.

4, the boot change cartridge

When we follow the correct steps to replace the ink-jet printer with a new cartridge, the printer control Panel, the ink on the LED if still flashing, and does not work correctly, then this phenomenon is likely due to the improper replacement of ink cartridges. When a lot of the operators change their ink cartridges for the printer, always feel that in the printer power, the replacement operation seems to be more secure, in fact, in the power of the state for the printer to replace the new ink cartridges, is not to be recognized by Inkjet printer control system, so we put on the new cartridge for the printer, in fact, is the "old cartridge." At this point, if you want the printer to continue to work correctly, only the printer should be plugged in, and then follow the steps to reinstall the ink cartridge, so that the printer will automatically clean the print head to resolve the problem.

5. Adjust the adjusting lever

When we print multiple pages in a row, the printer's feeder may be fed several or more sheets of paper at a draught. This failure is most likely the ink-jet printer's paper thickness adjustment bar position adjustment caused by incorrect. At this point we should adjust the position of the paper thickness adjustment bar According to the thickness of the printed paper until the fault is canceled.

6, the ink saves the use

Because of the price of Jet ink is not expensive, individual users in the use of spray, should always pay attention to save the use of ink. Inkjet printers also deliberately provide the average user with two printing modes, one is the economic model, which is to reduce the quality of printing to save ink, the other is a standard mode, this mode can ensure the printing effect. No special requirements, I suggest you try to use the economic model to print materials, you can even customize a printing mode that saves ink: In the printer Properties window, open the Main tab page, select Standard mode, and then click the Advanced button, and in the dialog box that appears, We can according to the use of cartridge models, media types to adjust the color balance, brightness and other parameters, you can directly drag the slider in the diagram to reduce color printing concentration in order to achieve the purpose of saving ink. Of course, the same settings for different types of cartridges and printed paper, the output will also be different, so in the replacement of ink cartridges or printing, as far as possible to make some minor adjustments to ensure that the desired use of the effect.

7, timely maintenance

If the ink-jet printer at work always do not ink, that is, the use of random printer program to clean the print head is also invalid, this phenomenon is likely to be sprayed with the nozzle or spray hole is blocked up, of course, can not exclude the printing cable or even the internal circuit board of the printer problems. If it is to print the nozzle or the fault of the nozzle, through the random cleaning procedures can not let its formal work, the author suggested that everyone should not do their own hands, at will be free to dismantle the maintenance, otherwise the printer's spray effect will be seriously affected, The right thing to do is to send the inkjet printer to the local technical repair center and ask the professional technician to repair it.

8, regular refueling lubrication

If in the printing process, found that the ink cartridge racks can not be very free to slide, which means that the support cartridge racks may accumulate too much dust, so that the smooth movement of the ink cartridges brought a lot of resistance, which caused the ink cartridge to move when the blocked can not correct back. At this time we can use a soft cloth will support cartridge racks dust wipe clean, and then drop a few drops on the slider similar to the sewing machine oil and other lubricants, while ensuring that the lubricant can be evenly smear, so that it can improve the printing effect.

9, specify the appropriate font

When printing, the inkjet printer will call the font in the document from the font, and the speed of the call directly determines the speed of printing. For fonts that are included in the print font, inkjet printers can be directly from the printer kernel quickly, if the print document does not print fonts included in the font, inkjet printers need to be from the computer system library to call the font indirectly, of course, this call mode may affect the printing speed, so in order to improve printing speed, As much as possible, we should set the font of the document to the font contained in the Print library. When setting TrueType font options, you should first click Replace with device fonts so that you can use equivalent PostScript fonts to print documents that support TrueType fonts, which can generally improve printing speed. However, some special characters that are not supported by PostScript fonts may be lost.

10, shorten the signal line

Many print operators to facilitate the connection between the computer and the inkjet printer, often to pick a long physical distance print signal line, but the use of print signal cable is too long, print content on the print signal transmission speed of the greater the impact, because the print signal in the longer transmission distance, is constantly to decay.

11, with good printing paper

Do not think that the use of paper is a very simple thing, in fact, the setting of a good print sheet will improve the printing effect is helpful, because the printer in the output of different sizes of the printed page, the speed will not be the same. When you set up printing paper, you should try to use the "plain paper" option first. You can use special coated ink-jet printing paper, you can also use ordinary photocopy of the printed paper. Try not to use narrower printed paper because these too small print sheets may slide into or feed into the printer's paper processing device. Also, you should try to use less thick paper or more textured print, because the paper is very easy to spread ink. In particular, it is necessary to put some paper into the paper slot in order to avoid clogging or paper jam, which affects the speed of the jet.

12, the model set to be correct

Many operators install printer drivers because they do not have the original driver for the printer at the moment, so it is often convenient to choose a similar product or model of the printer that the computer actually connects to as the current default printer for the system, although the alternate installation method can use the printer normally. However, because of the subtle differences in the print driver, it may affect the performance of the printer, perhaps some of the features of the printer can not be used! So in order to make the inkjet printer in the best working condition, we should re-examine the current system installed printer model, whether and the actual printer model match.

13. Turn off spool mode

The printer is printed by default in a spool mode, which is a stand-alone program that runs control printing primarily in the background, so that the operator can continue to work on other tasks while printing. Many operators now prefer to have printers work this way because they can continue to do other work while printing, but this work is at the expense of printing speed, if you want to get a higher printing speed, I suggest you try to close the offline way, This allows the system to use all resources for printing. To turn off the spool print mode, you can open the Control Panel window, double-click the printer icon, in the open window, right-click the printer icon, and then execute the property command from the shortcut menu, then select the Details tab, in the corresponding label page, click the background print settings, and then select " Direct printer Output option, so you can turn off the spooling mode.
