How to restart the printer: why do I need to restart the printer, instructions

It just so happened that a modern computer is hard to imagine without a device like a printer. Indeed, what is the point of accumulating documents, articles, photographs on a computer - if there is no banal opportunity to present them in the form of a copy on a solid medium.

This is exactly what the printing device provides. However, it often happens that he begins to live his own life and periodically refuses to work. No matter how we try to print something, the result is zero. In this case, you need to try rebooting the device.

In order to restart any device, just one click of a button is enough. To do this, open the utility that is responsible for the work and find the “Restart” item in the “FILE” menu. After that, it is enough to confirm the intention of your choice, and wait for the operation to complete. The result of the operation should be the reset of all settings to the factory settings. If something in the settings by the user was completely incorrect, then this operation will fix everything.

Why do I need to restart the printer?

The need for a reboot may occur due to various reasons. This is a refusal to print, loading to print after a paper jam and its removal. The need to reboot the device after refilling the cartridge. Similar reasons can be listed almost indefinitely.

In the most elementary case, it is enough to click on the device button and it will restart, but sometimes it does not work out and the device continues to refuse to work as it should. In other words, it does not work at all.

If it really happened that the printer refused to print, then first of all, pay attention to the following points:

• whether the device is connected to the mains, to a computer;
• Are all drivers installed?
• if printing goes to a network device, is the local network configured?

If everything that is listed in perfect order, it may very well be that the device refused to work, since a large number of documents had accumulated in its print queue. This is a fairly common case and it always leads to printing failure.

The reason that leads to this is thoroughly unknown, but everything is solved very simply. You just need to clear the print queue.

To do this, go to the “control panel”, find “Printers” there, find the installed device and go to “View print queue” in it. There you will see a bunch of trash - it is he who is the cause of the failure.

 Then you need to do the following:

1. The printer should be unplugged for a while.
2. The computer needs to restart.
3. If after the PC was restarted in the print queue there are still files left, then you need to select the document or documents and right-click on the menu in which we select the "Cancel" item.

After everything is cleaned up, work should resume.

Instructions on how to restart the printer

Sometimes it is not necessary to restart the printer corny, which usually does not cause difficulties even for inexperienced users, but it is necessary to restart the counter or reset it. This need arises after refilling the print cartridge.

The problem is that neither laser nor inkjet printing devices have built-in hardware capabilities to keep track of the amount of dye remaining. For such accounting software methods are used. All information is stored on the cartridge chip. And after it is refueled, this information must be erased. In other words, reload or reset.

When the process of zeroing is performed, the information is not deleted on the device itself, on the cartridge chip. Many refueling kits include a special microplate that should be replaced with an old one.

 Inkjet color printers such chips, usually several pieces, according to the number of cartridges used. And on each, this chip must be replaced. Otherwise, the normal use of refilled cartridges will simply be impossible, as the printer will continue to think that the ink is low.

With laser devices, things are a little easier.

• The first step is to remove the toner cartridge.

• Use your finger to press the reset sensor, which is located inside the printer. It can be found inside the device on the left side. It is accessible through the paper feed tray.

• Next, close the cover of the printing device
• In the pressed state, the sensor must be kept until the engine of the device is working.
• As soon as the engine starts, release the sensor and after two seconds press it again until the engine stops.
• Wait until the device is ready.
• You can now install the toner cartridge
• The restart of the print cartridge is now complete.
