Printer Frequently Asked Questions

In the course of long-term use the printer, you may find a wide variety of print failure; To be able to help you efficiently and quickly these problems, this article summarizes some common printing deliberately fail to answer questions, and I hope can be useful to you.

Question 1: Unit on the back just to buy a computer that has the infrared port of the printer, do not know how the printer is connected to a computer, to print?

A: The infrared port with the printer connected, it must ask the computer also has an infrared interface, present, many notebook computers, have this interface, use this interface, you can wirelessly print. Once the computer is installed with an infrared transmission port drivers, install the IR driver must also be to ensure that the port in line with IRDA standards in order to allow the printer to correctly identify the infrared port. Using infrared port driver, you can be the computer's normal print port LPT1, redirected to the infrared port. In addition you also need a computer, the correct printer driver installed, while the port is designated as a computer print infrared port. After the settings are correct, you can print wirelessly, though it to make wireless printing with the cable connection, then print the same effect, but also must pay attention to the printer infrared port and the computer distance between the infrared port to control at 1 meter, while ensuring that they are as far as possible in a straight line.

Question 2: My computer's C drive is formatted, re-installed the Windows XP operating system, but the USB interface to install the printer, the screen always prompted to install an error, I do not know how to install a good printer?

Answer: Do not know your Windows XP system that can automatically find your printer, even if the printer can not be found, then you need to check the computer's motherboard above the USB port, whether it is disabled, if not disabled, then re - check if you have the latest motherboard drivers. Of course, you can also find the other one with a USB interface device, inserted into the computer to see if the system can automatically recognize that in doing so will be able to determine on the motherboard USB port, it is good or bad in the end. If the computer system can be properly found any other USB devices, it is necessary to consider the printer driver is installed correctly, such as the printer driver versions may be outdated, or when you install the driver, careless to bring the virus, are likely to lead to the printer can not be installed correctly. At this point, you may wish to use the latest versions of antivirus tools to conduct a thorough killing of the computer system, killing again after installing the latest printer drivers, believe that, after the above treatment, you will be able to install the printer.

Question 3: There is an inkjet printer, and computer is far away from comparison, in the printed materials, as long as a slight collision printing cable, the printer will not work properly, and taking even one look at print cable, maybe the printer working again properly, and I ask how this is going on?

A: The most likely signal the printer cable causes too long, because the printer is usually by printing cables, connected to the computer's printer port, once the printer and computer distance, then the printer cable is likely to be severely stretched or distorted, and this will ink-jet printer cable connector at the inner workings of lines could easily be torn open; while inkjet printers work, in print cable was originally passed a weak signal, which is why the outside world a little a bit small interfering, then print the signal can not properly transfer, and thus prone to good and bad when you print the phenomenon of. To avoid this phenomenon, you should use a relatively short print cable to connect the printer and computer, and try to print cable placed in areas not easily be met.

Question 4: obviously the printer into the paper slot with a lot of printing paper, but in the implementation of the printing operation, the printer control panel lights in the lack of paper, but it flashes up, is this what is failure?

A: In this phenomenon, most likely the printer paper drive the structure of a problem, or there may be a good paper, has not been properly placed. Under normal circumstances, the printer feed slot that there exist a photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor can be sensitive to "capture" the papers are correctly placed into the feed slot, and if there is printing paper into the paper slot exists, the photoelectric sensor can be identified to the paper, and generate an identification signal transmitted to the printer, to inform the printer to do print preparation work, even if the slot is not put into the paper printing paper, the photoelectric sensor will also have control signals transmitted to the printer there, to tell the printer no print job. Based on the above principles into the paper, you will not be difficult to know why there is printing paper feed slot, while the printer is out of paper prompted a; If the photoelectric sensor above the dust cover, the paper will reduce its ability to identify this way even if the the paper has been inserted into the feed slot, photoelectric sensors can not correctly identify, thus the above strange phenomenon emerged. To avoid this phenomenon, you should note that in peacetime, more than cleaning the printer, especially the clean good photoelectric sensor. In a clean sensor, first of all should be careful to be pressed on the paper roll from the printer to take off with the valuables of the yarn and then cloth, carefully covering the top of the dust in the photoelectric sensor clean, it is noteworthy that the cleaning process must not force so as to avoid hampering the photoelectric sensor.

Question 5: Recently a friend of a hp LaserJet 1200 laser printer, print the form found in the table some of slash can not be printed correctly, and sometimes some of the cells in the text, but also did not print out, do not know it how the matter?

A: Since the printer can print the form, indicating that there are no printer hardware failure, caused by the above phenomenon is most likely the printer driver, an error occurred, or the systems infected with a virus. Carefully to the HP company's official website, see a bit hp LaserJet 1200 printer driver, and found that Windows 98 and Windows Me systems under the PCL driver, there is an abnormal phenomenon printed form, while the Windows 2000 or Windows XP system, under the PostScript drive, there are shortcomings in this regard. To do this, you can Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system, the hp LaserJet 1200 driver upgrade PCL driver; can also be Windows 98 or Windows Me operating system, the hp LaserJet 1200 driver upgrade to PostScript driver . If the above driver updates, but also solve the problem, then it would use the latest version of the anti-virus tools to look at the system completely killing bar.

Question 6: Every time in the Word program, printed materials, always like before the formal printing, use the Print Preview feature to see whether the effect of printing materials fulfill our wishes, if found to be ineffective, they tend to return to the editing state, right material rearrangement, it can not be directly in the preview mode, directly amend it?

A: You can preview state, directly modified; modifications you can click the preview interface, click on the "magnifying glass" button, and then the Regional Office with a small keyboard arrow keys to move the mouse pointer to the need to modify the target location at (Note that in print preview mode, the shape of the mouse pointer is not displayed, this time you can only rely on the state of the Word program interface, see the current position of the mouse a few lines in a few columns), you will be able to to modify or edit the text, and revised after the end of operation, if the results were satisfactory, you can close the preview window, a formal print.

Question 7: When the ink-jet printer control panel indicator light flashes when the ink to do, we generally can not continue to print, then there is no way to replace the cartridge, without conditions, to continue to print it?

A: The answer is affirmative, you are as long as the ink-jet printer control panel, press the ink cleaning button and hold, so ink cartridge holder to move to the slider to the right place at the most at this time please do not take out ink cartridges, but should be to continue to hold the cleaning button until the ink-jet printer ink re-charge up until the end of filling ink moves, ink indicator light is not bright to do at this time you will be able to continue to print.

Question 8: Recently, just for inkjet printers, replacing a new cartridge, but the replacement has been completed, found that the capacity to monitor the printer ink window, do not show the state of the ink for the full, is this what is going on, is it in the ink cartridge dissatisfied do already?

A: In this phenomenon, most likely you have not been fully used in the ink to do after the half-way to get out, leading inkjet printer ink monitor memory function is enabled to be displayed before the ink capacity. If you wish to ink-jet printer, ink cartridges capacity of the new show up correctly, then, may wish to press the cleaning button, so that ink-jet printer refills action re-run again the capacity to monitor the dialog box opens, you'll find a new ink cartridge capacity. If this way, but also can not see full capacity of the state of ink may wish to look at the new cartridges, check to see if it contains a chip, if any, is that the new cartridge capacity of the chip itself dissatisfied then the new cartridge is likely to have been used, then you may wish and businesses contacted and requested to replace other ink cartridges.

Question 9: My computer is HP tc 4100, when the double-click "Printers" window in the "Add Printer" icon, we found that the total screen prompts can not operate the printer error, do not know what this is failure, how to solve?

A: The emergence of this problem, you should look at whether the current computer is correctly connected the printer, if the connection is good, then the fault is likely that the computer's parallel port is not enabled due. If you want a computer system, install a virtual printer driver so that it can in the Word and other applications, call the Print Preview feature, you can enter the system's CMOS interface open BIOS settings page, "Onboard Parallel Port "re-set to" Enabled ", restart the computer after re-install the printer driver, I believe that the failure of the above can be solved. If the above method is still not solve the problem, then the system with the printer documents relating to loss may have occurred at this time you can only reinstall the operating system to see what a.

Question 10: Unit Library has a computer, is installed initially LQ1600K printer, and later added a HP LJ 1000 laser printer, and that the laser printer to a computer program is installed correctly, and may be printed the issue of conflict , HP printers can work, but LQ1600K work the printer when printing garbage; to clean uninstall HP printer drivers, it is found LQ1600K the printer back to normal. Recently, with the manually uninstall the HP printer driver, we found LQ1600K still appears printer print garbled phenomenon, do not know how to eliminate the phenomenon?

A: If your printer parallel port, install the printer sharing device, then you the choice of a printer at work, should not fail; now there is such a phenomenon most likely is that you install the print driver when you , select the printer model connected to the printer model and the actual result is inconsistent; take into account your hand did not completely uninstall the driver, the system drivers have come up confusion, this time the best solution is to re-install computer systems, and must be use the original installation path to the original chaotic system overwritten. If your computer to install the Windows XP operating system, may wish to use the system to provide the "System Restore" feature to restore the computer to HP LJ 1000 Laser Printer state before the installation, it OK.
