Previously must first know a few types of printers, including: Dot Matrix / Metrics, Inkjet / Bubble Jet and Laser Printer or maybe there are more who have not I mention. If you already know immediately analyze and solve some problems oft printers and possibilities occur, usually as follows:
The printer can not be turned on or off
* Check the power source and the printer power cable, can use the test pen.
* Check the power switch (ON / OFF) on the printer
* Problems caused by lack of power to the printer is usually characterized by its LED is not lit (the indicator light) from the printer.
* Replace connecting cables or the switch if still can not be turned on
Printer life but can not print
* Check whether there is ink or cartridge paper which clogged (paper jamp)
* Check the printer data cable connection, whether it is connected with parallel port / USB port on the computer.
* Try to replace the data cable (replace the data cable with another printer).
* Try to change the setting "spooler" to the printer via the Properties menu
* The printer spooler is used with the purpose so you will be able to run the application when done printing the document.
* Check whether there is a conflict with the port in use by the printer.
* Verify that the installation and select the correct driver for the printer, the selection of ports should also be adjusted.
* Check for sufficient disk space for installation, sometimes if the buffers are not enough
* Then the data can not be sent to the printer perfectly.
* The final step could be to reinstall the driver and follow the procedure properly.
The printer prints, but no one was printed on paper (blank)
* This damage can be overcome by cleaning with a utility that is available from the printer.
* Clean the printer cartridge head and can use fabric.
* For the head can be immersed in hot water but do not get hit by series of electronic
* Do not forget to attach all of which had been cleaned
Indicator lights keep flashing when printing
* The reason could be because there is no paper in the printer.
* Check the printer cartridge is not installed or cartridge installation position may not be appropriate.
* Can also be installed on the printer cartridge is not suitable for the printer.
* There are times when too late to install the paper or after the paper published a paper jump has not pressed the resume button
* Another possibility is a jammed inside the printer.
* Some printers are required body of the printer in a closed condition during the printing process.
Defective printer printout
* In the dot matrix is usually due to incomplete needle pin, due to bubble jet ink cartridges are not normal To this should be replaced or repaired cartridge pins.
* Another possibility is a dot matrix printer print head movement is not smooth, to overcome can be cleaned with contact cleaner and clean cloth.
* Prints defects can be caused by uneven ink and paper used is too moist, try to align the ink and paper check is used.
* In laser printers, the cause is usually flawed drum component "component attachment of ink" on the printer, these events could be due to initially attract a clogged paper. The fix can try to clean the drum with a clean cloth and gently
* In the dot matrix printer ribbons often can not rotate properly so should be examined and reinstall it with the correct ribbon.
