:: Buying tips ::

  All-In-One printers have big disadvantages
    “All-In-One” printers, those that include scanner, fax, copier and printer in one component only save space; their performance may not be the best and they tend to have many problems related to the connectivity.

  When All-In-One printers break, it all stops working

 

  When an “All-In-One” printer breaks, usually they stop working from all its parts; leaving the printer user without printer, fax, scanner or copier all at once.

  Turn off printers correctly
    Always use a printer’s power switch -if applicable-, rather than the surge protector’s switch to shut down a printer; most printers are programmed to ‘hide’ the ink cartridges when not in use to avoid the ink from drying in the cartridge due to direct air contact
    :: Maintenance tips ::

  Leave the ink cartridge in the printer until ready to replace
    When a printer runs out of ink, leave the cartridge in the printer until ready to replace it; the printer nozzles as well as other parts in the printer may get affected if the cartridge is removed for an extended period of time.

  Refill ink cartridges before needed
  When using refillable ink cartridges in an Inkjet printer, it is better to refill them before they run out of ink; or as soon as they run out of ink, but do not take much time to refill them.
