Some treatments about printer failures

Although the printer is a peripheral device, the printer can be used without any problem. The printer and the system occasionally have some minor problems. How do we deal with these problems? ?

First, print large files crash:

Some laser printers are normal when printing small files, but will crash when printing large files.

The processing method is: check the remaining space on the hard disk. Delete some useless files, or query the amount of printer memory, can you expand?

Second, the garbled solution in the printer printing process:

The following steps can be used to judge the fault

(1) Use anti-virus software to check/clear viruses.

(2) Printer self-test. (Determination of the printer itself for hardware failure)

(3) Detecting the printer cable: (To determine if the print cable is faulty) Under MS-DOS, execute the following command: dir>prn.

(4) Print the test page: (to determine if the printer driver is correct) "Control Panel>>>“Printer”>>Find the corresponding printer>> Right click Right-click >> pop-up menu, select “Properties”>>Select “General”>>Click “Print Test Page”. The test page normally indicates that the printer driver has been installed correctly.

(5) Check the application software (such as Word) for printing to see if the driver matches the printer you are using. If it is not correct, it is necessary to change the driver.

Note: If the printer is connected to the computer via a scanner, it may cause improper printing. It is recommended to connect the printer directly to the computer.

Third, individual fonts can not be printed:

Sometimes I have used several common fonts and font sizes. Recently I have changed several fonts and found that the fonts are not coming out or the individual characters are gone.

Processing: First delete the font in question. To delete a font, first select a font, then select “File”=”“Delete" Then double-click “My Computer”>>“Control Panel”>>“Font”>>“File”>>“Install New Font”.

The common problems with printers are about these aspects. When we encounter these problems, don't think that the printer is broken. It may be because the connection is not good or other reasons. In the end, find out the cause first. To solve.
