Most Common Kodak Printer and Kodak Ink Cartridge Problems and Troubleshooting

Filed under: Troubleshooting Printers — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 3:31 pm

by theunquietlibrary

Kodak printers are a good option if you are going to buy a printer. It could be one of the options you should definitely consider. However, like all other printer models even Kodak printers are prone to some common printer, as well as, cartridge problems. Troubleshooting these problems is fairly easy.

Here is a list of problems that you might face and we have also offered their solutions.

The Power LED shows no Illumination; the Printer does not power On

This is a common enough problem. The possible cause of this occurrence could be that the cables and cords are not connected as securely as they must be. You must make sure that the cords are connected in accordance with the instructions. Another reason for this could be the fact that the printer power is not ‘on’. You might just have turned the switch in the ‘I’ position.

The Printing Process is Slow

Another common problem and the culprit in this case might be the size of the image file. This could take up a lot of time for the printer to process the PostScript file. Thus, the only solution in this case is to show some patience. At times, the slow printing process is a result of the printer getting warm. The best thing to do in such a case would be to turn off the printer and allow it to cool down. Also, you could think about changing the printer location and shifting it to a cooler location.

No Action Taken When Job is Sent

The possible solution to this problem could be to check and recheck whether the job is actually being processed or not. Moreover, you must check whether you have set the printer in the correct mode for printing. You must use the Raster Mode while using the export module and all other types of printing can be done by choosing the PostScript mode.

The Processing is Complete, No Print

This is another common problem that affects the Kodak Printer. This is a Kodak ink cartridge related problem and not a general printer problem. All you need to do is clean the head of the printer ink cartridges. Accumulated dust or dried color might prevent the printing process from taking place; hence you must clean the head of the cartridges. All Kodak printers come with a set of tools that not only clean the cartridge heads but align them as well.

Printer’s Not Working after Cartridge Change

Once the ink in the cartridge is finished, you either need to change the cartridges or get them refilled with ink. Whatever, the case maybe, you will have to take the cartridges out of the printer and put them back in place. Some times, you will find that the printer does not print, even though the cartridge ink is full. The problem could be sorted out by checking if the cartridges are securely in place. Secure it, and the printer is sure to start working.

Most Common Printer Reset Problems

Filed under: Troubleshooting Printers — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 3:32 pm

by theunquietlibrary

Printers are one of the most commonly used electronic gadgets. Most of the work done these days is through electronic media. However, when people need hard copies of documents, and they need it quite often, they use printers to print them. As a result, printers are very much in demand in homes and offices. The most used printers are the shared printers in offices and they continuously spew out page after page, executing print commands from different people in different departments. As a result, it is essential that printers remain hale and hearty.

Sometimes, the printers just give up working and it is time to fix them. There are various ways to troubleshoot the printers and most of the common ailments can be fixed using the instruction manual and the printer maintenance kit. If nothing is working, a service call can be made and some technician from the manufacturers’ side will come and fix up the printer. For some of the common ailments, the basic troubleshooting involves resetting the printer. Resetting can be done with the printer memory, password, spooler and settings.

Most of the common problems associated with printer memory, password, spooler and settings can be resolved by resetting the printer. For most of the different resetting processes, the printer needs to be turned off. The owner manuals should detail about the process. Hence, before doing anything else, it is recommended that you go through the owner manual. In most of the cases, the solution will be given there. In case the solution is not available in the owner manual, then the next best step is to visit the manufacturer’s website and check out the troubleshooting steps given there. By checking the owner manual and/or the website, you will be able to save a lot on money, time and frustration.

Of course, if nothing works, then the best thing to do is to call up the helpline. Most of the printer helpline people are adept enough to take you through the resetting process while you are on the call with them. Resetting is relatively easy and if you follow the simple steps, there should be no problem at all. If that also doesn’t work (which I believe will not be the case), then the last resort is to ask for professional help. You can put in the request through the helpline and they will arrange to send someone. However, you may have to dish out a considerable sum of money for the technician to come in and reset the printer.

As we have been iterating again and again, resetting a printer is no big deal and anyone with a basic knowledge of printers can do it. All you need to do is follow some simple steps and get it done. Before you call the helpline, you may also want to employ one of your colleagues or neighbors to get the job done. You will save a load of time and money if you ask them to help.

Epiphan Systems Releases World’s Most Powerful High-Resolution External Frame Grabbers

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 7:35 pm

Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) April 10, 2008

Epiphan Systems Inc. today announced that two additions to their DVI2USB line of frame grabbers, the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo, are now ready for shipping.

The DVI2USB Solo, as part of the only external DVI frame grabber line on the market, is intended as a solution for those who would like to capture lossless images from single-link DVI sources, while the DVI2USB Duo is made for those that have dual-link DVI capture in mind. Both devices have capture rates of 30 frames per second at any supported DVI resolution, being up to 1920×1200 for DVI2USB Solo and 2048×2048 for DVI2USB Duo.

Both devices employ Epiphan’s revolutionary lossless compression technology, making them perfect for those that need to capture the high-quality and high-resolution picture that you would expect from a DVI source. Just like with the rest of Epiphan’s frame grabbers, the user is able to capture to still image as well as AVI movie, broadcast the captured image over the internet, and print or record the captured image with the touch of a button using Epiphan’s VGA Printer and VGA Recorder products.

What sets the DVI2USB Solo and Duo apart from other frame grabbers on the market is their ability to capture 100% lossless diagnostic-quality images at a capture rate of up to 30 frames per second. The DVI2USB Duo is able to transfer images at up to 330 megapixels a second, compressing the stream on-the-fly, meaning that the captured images are translated from the source to the destination machine without any delay.

Both devices are able to capture from any source that is VESA-compatible, including Windows and Unix machines, embedded devices, medical hardware, scientific and lab equipment, and more. What’s more, the DVI2USB devices are extremely easy to use and can be mastered in a matter of minutes. Capture software is available as a free download from Epiphan Systems’ website, however, because both devices employ WDM drivers, virtually any other software made for capturing video or still images is compatible.

Similar to the rest of the devices in Epiphan’s VGA2USB and DVI2USB line of frame grabbers, both the DVI2USB Solo and DVI2USB Duo devices are lightweight and portable, yet made with rugged, aluminum casing. The DVI2USB Solo weighs in at just 90 grams and is about the size of a small box of paperclips. The DVI2USB Duo, meanwhile, has the weight of 300 grams and is about the size of a small paperback novel. Because of their compact design, both devices can be transferred between different sources with ease.

To purchase or to find out more information about the DVI2USB Solo, the DVI2USB Duo, or any other Epiphan Systems’ product mentioned in this article, please visit epiphan.com or call 1 (877) 599-6581.

Most Common Dell Printer and Dell Ink Cartridge Problems and Troubleshooting

Filed under: Troubleshooting Printers — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 3:33 pm

Imagine a scenario wherein, you want to print an important document and your printer gives out on you. This is a common occurrence even in Dell printers and Dell Ink cartridges. As can be imagined, even the most reliable of printers are prone to these problems as is illustrated in the case of common Dell printer and ink cartridges problems. The good news is that you don’t have to be a technical expert to solve these problems. Troubleshooting Dell printer problems is fairly easy.

Here are a few examples of Dell printer and printer ink cartridge problems and their troubleshooting.

No Apparent Jam, but Paper is Stuck

A confusing but common problem when it comes to Dell printers! Don’t think too hard when it comes to trouble shooting this bit of problem. The first thing to do is locate that offending bit of paper and remove it. How do you remove it? Simple! Just pull it out! At times, however, there is a chance that you won’t be able to locate the paper jam. This is when you should realize that there might be no paper stuck in the printer, but the rollers in the printer might be giving you trouble. Due to the action of the printer, the rollers might come loose. You could fix this problem by tightening them up.

Failure to Print

If you have bought multi-functional Dell printers then this particular problem might comes as a surprise to you. Not in the least because the machine does not print. The surprise is due to the fact because all other functionalities work! Don’t worry. Your printer has not developed some major snag. The only thing wrong with the printer in such a case would be a clogging of the printer ink cartridges. This could be sorted out by initiating the cleaning process. Moreover, you could also rub the cartridge head with a cotton swab and alcohol. Remove the dried up your ink from the Dell ink cartridge in order to let the wet ink flow more freely.

Paper Feed Problem

There are some Dell printers that will give you some paper feeding problems. One of the manifestations of this problem could be the fact that the Dell printer will only take in the paper from one side. The paper is pulled in from one side only, and the other side remains still. This leads to paper jams. Once again this problem is easy to trouble shoot. The problem is that there might be a paper that is blocking the printing path. You need to turn off the printer, unplug it, and shake it. Anything that should not be inside the printer will come out.

No Printing Process – Cartridge Not Recognized

A common problem, once again! Don’t fret as the problem is as simple as not having refilled the cartridge quickly enough. The problem is that many customers these days choose not to replace the empty cartridges with new Dell ink cartridges but choose to refill it instead. The company thus loses quite a bit of money and makes it difficult for user to use refilled cartridges. The trick is to refill the printer ink cartridge as soon as you are notified of the low ink status.

Most Common Xerox Printer and Xerox Copier Problems and Troubleshooting

Filed under: Troubleshooting Printers — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 3:31 pm
troubleshooting printers
by ShipLibrary

Xerox printers and copiers are in great demand by businesses and individuals alike. They are also known for their reliability and durability. However, like all other electronic equipment and applications, they can also be susceptible to problems.

Herein, we have listed a few problems that your Xerox printer or copiers could suffer from.

Printing or Copying pages of Unwanted Stuff

A tricky problem! At times, your printer or copier will keep printing page after page of stuff that you do not want. The best thing you could do when this happens is cancel the job. This could be done through the computer or by pressing the concerned button on the printer or copier. Press such a button or click on such button only once. In most cases the problems is solved. If this idea fails, then the best solution would be to switch of the printer or copier and start it again.

The Watermark Problem

Many printer or copiers might leave a watermark in the background of the printed or copied documents. The culprit in this case is improper selection of options. All you need to do to troubleshoot this problem is go to the print menu, and select the appropriate option.

Ink Cartridge Cleaning Routine Does not Work

If you have decided to clean your printer ink cartridge for some reason or the other and the cleaning routine does not work, you should leave the printer cartridge overnight. The printer must be turned off. The next day you must put the Xerox ink cartridge through another cleaning process. The problem when it comes to ink cartridges is usually the drying up of the ink. Putting it through a cleaning process will definitely soften the dried ink. The printer can then clean it easily. The same fact remains true for copiers as well. Another printer ink cartridge related problem that is limited to printers and that is that when you use solid ink, at times there is a streaking seen in the produced prints.

Streaking of Ink

The first thing that you must do, in this case is look up the ‘fault’ codes on the printer display.  Correct fault codes will tell you that the pins that are responsible for the lifting of the maintenance drawer are worn down. Moreover, when the pins are worn down, the drum does not get oiled in the proper manner. Thus, the ink is not delivered onto the document in its entirety.

In this article we have tried to give you a fair idea of the common problems of Xerox printers and copiers. However, one must understand that more often than not the problems cannot be clubbed together on a common platform. Until and unless the printer is a multifunctional printer which also has a ‘copying’ functionality, the problems of both the types of documentation machines will be markedly different from each other. So do keep this fact in mind. Also, if your troubleshooting solutions are not effective in ridding the printer or copier of the problem, it is best to get in touch with copier or printer maintenance services.

Most Common HP Printer and HP Ink Cartridge Problems and Troubleshooting

Filed under: Troubleshooting Printers — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 3:32 pm

by adria.richards

Everybody faces printer problems. They just cannot be avoided. Buy any brand of printers and ink cartridges and you will face problems sooner than later. In the case of HP Printer and HP ink cartridges the problems are those that can easily be solved without making your way to the nearest printer repair center. Troubleshooting HP printer problems is fairly easy. Most problems can be identified and solved quickly and without too much of a bother.

Here is a small sampling of the various problems that your HP printer or HP ink cartridge could face.

Inability to Find the Correct Printer Driver

Many a times, a user does not install the correct driver for the HP Printer. This usually happens when he/she has installed a new operating system. Most operating systems recognize all kinds of printers and then install the required drivers. However, there are some operating systems that will not recognize the printer and a user will have to download the requisite driver. Users at times download the wrong driver or oftentimes are unable to locate the driver. Troubleshooting this problem requires patience and the ability to search online for the driver. You could search for a driver with respect to the brand and model of the printer. This is one of the easier and more successful ways of searching for the perfect driver.

Print Refusal

At times your HP Printer will refuse to print. When you try to print or press the print button, all you will get is an error message. The first thing that you must do in this case is not blame the HP printer but look at other simpler reasons. See, if your printer cable is properly connected to the PC and the power source. Another thing to check is the printer settings on your computer. Moreover, if your HP printer is network connected then before blaming the printer you must also check whether those connections are in order.

Faded Ink

At times, you might still have a partially full printer ink cartridges and yet the printout is not very clear. In point of fact the print out is of a faded quality. It looks like the last few drop of ink in the HP cartridge have been used to print the page. The problem here lies in the head of the HP ink cartridge. It must be clogged with dried ink or dust. You can solve this problem by cleaning the head of the printer. Read the printers manual for specific instructions on the same.

Jamming of Paper

This is common enough problem for all printers including HP Printers. This is a result, usually of the machine constructions and the rollers that are present in the different locations. Thus, trapped paper can be removed with difficulty. While removing the paper you must always the pull the paper out as per the normal path of printing. You might just damage the printer if you pull it backwards. Moreover, you must not use excessive force while prying the paper out or you might damage the rollers.

Squeezing The Most From Your Promotional USB Flash Drive Budget

Filed under: Print USB — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 11:10 am
print usb
by Sara in Montréal

Advertising and marketing budgets have been hit hard over the last couple of years and whilst there are glimmers of the economy recovering its still early days and consequentially purse strings are still pulled relatively tight. That said businesses can’t afford to stand still and the need to advertise and promote your business and products is still of paramount importance but, where hard cash is being spent its critical that you squeeze as much as possible from your budget.

When it comes to buying promotional USB flash drives there are several factors that you should consider because they will help you to get the best possible “bang for buck”:

Don’t pay for unnecessary memory – USB flash drives are available in a wide range of sizes starting from 32MB all the way up to 64GB. Popular USB flash drive sizes are 1Gb – 2GB and these are normally ample for any corporate gifts or promotional give-aways. If you buy USB flash drives larger than this then the costs start to rise quite substantially. Similarly if you buy flash drives smaller than 1GB the price reduction is relatively small but more importantly the likelihood of the flash drive being used on an on-going basis is dramatically reduced. Without on-going use you don’t get the benefit of your brand being continually recalled or promoted.

Reduce the number of colours you want printed – Ink costs and each colour printed has a set-up cost associated with it. Whilst some suppliers might absorb some of these costs to secure your business its unlikely that they’ll swallow all of them. If you have a complex logo or a logo with 4 or more colours see if you can simplify it. Its not unusual for there to be various “complex” and “simple” versions of a company logo available because good designers understand that a logo will be used in a variety of way and so they plan ahead accordingly.

Plan ahead and order early – The vast majority of USB flash drives that are printed up with a company brand or logo are manufactured to order from factories in China. Despite the distances involved and the freight costs associated with shipping flash drives around the world it is still considerably cheaper to get flash drives this way. If you order flash drives at the last minute then you’ll pay a premium to get them printed locally and you’ll have far less choice in terms of memory size and style of memory stick.

Only buy gift boxes if you really need them – this speaks for itself but its worth checking that any price you are quoted does not include a charge for gift boxes (unless you want them). Most branded USB flash drives will come in individual “poly” bags or they’ll be in a free plain white box.

Pre-load any data during the manufacturing process – one of the best ways to offset the cost of buying branded USB flash drives is to pre-load them with your company sales brochures, media files, presentation files and so on – saving this data onto the flash drive means you won’t have to go to the expense of getting them printed. The trick though is to make sure you have the data ready early so that it can be loaded onto the flash drive at the point of manufacture (this is usually free). If you are late supplying your data then expect to pay a fee for it to be loaded post manufacture.

Get several quotes before ordering – we all have our own favourite or “preferred” supplier(s) but when you’re sourcing branded USB flash drives its definitely worth shopping around and getting several quotes. If you do choose a new supplier make sure you get a firm quote in writing, read any associated T & C’s and payment terms and make sure the price is a fully inclusive price. In particular watch out for print set up, print origination charges and high delivery charges!

Buying the cheapest USB flash drives can end up costly in the long run – before you just accept the cheapest price you are quoted its best to make sure you are comparing “apples with apples”. Some unscrupulous vendors will supply graded or re-cycled flash chips unless you specify “new”. Whilst most of these will work you can expect a much higher failure rate and much slower performance – not exactly what you want if you’re printing your brand on them! Choose your vendor carefully, check out their testimonials and if you’re at all concerned take references.

Avoid buying your USB flash drives during the peak demand periods – there are a couple of times of the year (every year) when the price of flash rockets and this has a knock on effect on the price of USB flash drives. The times to avoid if at all possible include the early run up to Christmas (late September and October) when many large manufacturers buy up flash chips for their Christmas manufacturing schedules and the time around Chinese New Year when there is a general scarcity in the market.

Most Common Canon Printer and Canon Ink Cartridge Problems and Troubleshooting

Filed under: Troubleshooting Printers — Tags: , , , , , , — admin @ 3:31 pm

by adria.richards

There is a large array of Canon Printers that are available for your purchase. Quite a number of them are at the top of the popularity charts when it comes to choosing a printer and accessories for home or office. The best part about Canon printer and ink cartridge problems is that more often than not they can be troubleshot very easily.

Here are a few problems that one might encounter while using Canon Printer and Canon Ink Cartridges.

Printer Jam

One of the most frustrating problems faced by a Canon printer user would be paper jams. These are not restricted to Canon printers alone, but all printers can gives this problem at one time or another. There are various reasons why printers jam. The accumulation of dirt could be one of the reasons, and so could the fact that the wrong type of paper is being used. Another reason for printer jam could be the fact that the printer rollers have worn down. The best way to troubleshoot this problem would be to keep all printer components clean. Moreover, replace the roller after a given time.

Driver Problems

Another common Canon printer problem is the ‘Driver’ error. At times, a message might pop onto your screen saying ‘Cant find the driver for the operating system’ The problem revolves around new operating systems requiring new drivers for an old or existing printer. This, as can be seen, is a software problem and as such is not a printer problem in its entirety. You have to load a new driver to troubleshoot this particular problem.

No Print

At times, you might give the order for print, but there is no print. The paper just goes into the printer, and comes out as clear as it was when it went inside. There is absolutely no print. The reason for this could be an empty printer ink cartridge. The answer to your problem, in this case, would be to get a new printer ink cartridge or refill the cartridge. Another reason for this problem could be the clogging of the printer ink cartridge head. In such cases, you need to get the head unclogged using the various printer tools at your disposal. More often than not, in such problems the printer will display an error message, which will tell you exactly what has gone wrong. You can address the problem accordingly. To avoid such a problem, make sure that you use only Canon compatible cartridges in your printer

Another Ink Cartridge Problem

There is no doubt that replacing your empty ink cartridges with brand new cartridges is an expensive process. Therefore, many people choose to refill the old cartridges or buy refurbished cartridges. The problem lies in the fact that at times, a Canon printer that you are using might not recognize the refurbished cartridge, or a cartridge of a different manufacturer. Also, when you put in third party ink or cartridge, the manufacturer’s warranty is void. So, you cannot demand a maintenance service in case of problems..

How Much Can Using the Most Efficient Laser Printer Save a Company?

How Much Can Using the Most Efficient Laser Printer Save a Company?











Denver, CO (PRWEB) November 23, 2010

Most enterprise accounts (large organizations with thousands of users) have an IT department who is responsible for technology decisions. Their decision making reign goes from the computers, to the servers to the firewalls to the laser printers and copiers. No IT or Purchasing department is really equipped to know everything they need to know to get the best pricing and best technology for their organization’s situation. They depend on experts to advise and compare available products so they can make informed decisions. Laser printer and copier decisons can be the most expensive technology mistakes companies can make today because so few organizations actually speak to experts, they just purchase what they find online for the cheapest price. Small companies who don’t have this staff advantage are no different.

Why should an organization look at laser printers as a potential source of cost savings? According to Jesse Harwell, owner of Pahoda Image Products:

“We have seen companies make countless mistakes when purchasing printer and copier products through our sites over the years due to an organizations conflicting goals. One department is concerned about short term equipment costs while the other is concerned about ongoing toner costs. Very few organizations have the ability to actually choose the right laser printer based on usage, and by extension, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). That’s how we can help, we look at TCO numbers and make recommendations as simple as swapping printers based on cost per print information for the ultimate betterment of the customer’s bottom line”

So, how much can a business save? The answer is, it depends. The greater the quantity of inefficient laser printers a company has purchased to save up front capital, the more maximizing the fleet’s efficiency will save a company. It is incredible to see how much money can be wasted by laser printers. Taking a simple color laser printer example, if a company owns an HP Color Laserjet 2605 color laser printer and prints a mere 2,000 color pages and 500 black and white pages a month, the company will spend over $ 20,000 more than the most cost efficient color laser printer would have cost (A Xerox ColorQube 8870) over 5 years! Crying over spilled milk isn’t the solution. A quick assessment is necessary to see what kind of savings are available.

Most companies do not even want to initiate this kind of study unless they know it will be financially beneficial. Because of this tendency, Pahoda Image Products created an interesting tool which takes specific examples from customers and compares it against the most cost efficient laser printer on the market. This tool is called The Printer Challenge (http://www.printerchallenge.com) and is free to the curious consumer. It only addresses laser printers at this point in time. The consumer does have to put in their contact information to see what their printer was compared to (the actual model), but at least the financial differential can be seen before this information is required.

What if the organization wants to look at more than just one printer? Generally this is where a cost analyst comes into play as there are a lot more variables. In the example above, regarding the HP Color Laserjet 2605 printer, if the customer also has an HP Color LaserJet 4700 doing just 500 color prints per month, the two printers can be swapped and the business would save about $ 8,500 over 5 years or about $ 140 a month. Being efficient can really make a huge difference for companies struggling to keep their IT dollars under control.

What can a company save? According to the tools creator, a typical average is about $ 200 per laser printer per year. Finding the laser printer comparison tool provided by Pahoda Image Products is easy by going to their site http://www.printerchallenge.com

For those who want to do all the work themselves, another site is better for the laser printer comparisons.
