Mistakes to Avoid With Printers

 


 

Always make sure you're using the right kind of paper for your printer. Also, make sure that the printer knows what kind of paper it is using. This helps you avoid one of the most common and dreaded printer errors: the paper jam. Paper jams are what happens when a paper is twisted, crumpled or otherwise stuck inside the printer itself. Sometimes the printer will forcefully eject the paper. Other times it sticks inside, requiring you to open up the machine and remove the paper manually. This is one of the most tedious printer repairs and, if done incorrectly, can result in a damaged print head or splotches on future print jobs.

 Make sure you don't store your printer in direct sunlight, temperature extremes or anywhere it can be damaged. The most common result of incorrect storage is ink and toner leakage. These leaks, as mentioned above, end up causing a huge mess and requiring costly repairs for free printer London. If your printer is prone to toner leaks, check how you're storing it when it's not in use.

 If you find yourself needing to clean up spilled toner, avoid using water or liquid cleaning solutions. These will cause a larger mess than is necessary. Toner is a dry product, so use a small brush or special toner cleaning cloth to wipe away the mess. Try not to use a vacuum, especially one with leaks in the air hose, because you could end up spraying toner dust everywhere. Always be careful to avoid inhaling toner as well. If you end up with ink on your skin, soap and water will remove most of it. Any ink that remains will fade over time.
