Every printer user knows the basic about their equipment, but sometimes when someone was caught off guard by the instance, it's quite common for us to hardly think of a quick solution to solve it. Remember the saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", you can simply apply its principle when it comes to printer maintenance. You can possibly avoid having such problems and troubleshooting with your printer, if you'll learn to sense a potential problem beforehand.
How are we supposed to do this? By checking a few aspects and behaviors that your printer exhibits, you'll be able to know when a potential risk may likely lead to a problem.
First, before you violently react with your printer when it's not printing, see if it's already plugged and you turned it on. Sometimes you'll laugh at yourself when you try to trace the cause of a certain problem. When learn that the equipment wasn't plugged, that's why no matter how many times you hit the power button, your printer wouldn't turn on definitely.
LED indicators, they always serve a handful of help for the user. The color of the light indicates the printer's status such as : low level of inks, paper jams, empty tray, ready to print, stand by, and so on. Be familiar with your printer LED light indicators, someday you'll even thank them for letting you know of the problem.
The printer is not working? Don't get frustrated, neither hammer your equipment. Are you sure you put the right size of paper material, or is the paper tray not empty, or have you tried printing a test page to see if the printer really works and that the cause of the problem may probably comes from the document itself?
Use a nice printer cable, definitely a good one, to avoid having connectivity issues when you print. Sometimes it's the PC's USB port from which you plugged the printer cable that causes you printer to be unrecognized. Ethernet cables has a tendency to get easily broken since the tip of it are made of plastics, especially those printers that are placed in some unstable areas.
Don't bother use substandard laser toner cartridges and ink cartridges, unless you want your printer to wear down easily. Regularly check your printer's consumables, even though you'll get a noticed whenever the ink runs low, it's best to have a routine of checking it so you can prepare ahead of time.
You see, you shouldn't always put the blame on your printers, cause it's your fault for not properly handling your equipment. Hopefully this guide will let you realize the importance of taking good care of your equipments, not just with printers.
