Like other hardware devices, the printer also needs to be taken care of properly. For good performance, it needs adequate maintenance. The following basic tips are recommended in this context:
- Clean dust and junk: Junk, dust and other debris can create a layer inside your printer which can jam the cartridge nozzles or streak of unwanted ink on the paper. Use the small vacuum cleaner to remove the dust particles instead of canned air duster because it’ll not spray the junk around the machine; rather, it’ll suck and store it in its pouch. Or, if you’re cleaning cartridges with a wet cotton swab and water read the instruction provided by the manufacturer beforehand.
- Clean printer heads: If you have inserted the paper properly and cartridge is full and still, while printing the paper is showing running white lines across graphics or text, it means that the printer head is blocked and needs cleansing. To clean the printer head, check out the user guide or explore the manufacturer’s site.
- Don’t let the ink dry up: In case you have not used your printer for long, it could be that its ink has dried up. In order to avoid such a condition, it’s best to check the ink of your printer or use it at regular intervals.
- Turn it off properly: You must turn off the machine if not in use for its proper functioning. But, don’t turn off the device if you’re in middle of a work as it may jam the machine or cause other problems.
