2008-05-05

hi friends yesterday my girl friend was trying to get some print out on the plastic pape for her fashion work and stuck in between due to the paper jam and after few hours she got agitated a lot regarding that..

 

and then what next ??????

i had to get along with my laptop and started to bang my head with  it.. Just kiding :) google search to get the tips to short out his problems and support her as a printer support technician for her finally managed to make her.. happy with the final print so am shareing this with you all

 

1) Printing materials

You can print on normal printing paper or use special thicker color laser paper.

Depending on paper you are using, you can choose nearest paper option for your print.

Select File / Print >> Properties >> Paper/Quality >> "Type is:" menu.

For color laser paper you can use option "Color".

If you print on transparencies (plastic sheets) use only correct Color LaserJet

transparencies. Wrong transparencies may jam and spoil the printer.

 

2) Assure output layout before you print:

Before making final color print make test print with black and white printer. Please note,

that layout settings may change a little bit when you switch between different printers.

If you print pictures, it is best to insert them in Word or Powerpoint document to have

correct output size. You can also save (print) your document into pdf file with Pdf-Xchange

program to maintain layout settigs intact.

3) Use also print preview to check correct output layout:

Select Color Laserjet printer in File / Print printer selection menu and click close,

Now you can use File / Print preview command for Color Laserjet printer.

4) Printing on transparencies

As mention above, use only correct Color LaserJet transparencies!

After you have selected printer and tested output layout, click icon Properties in Print window:

In Printer Properties select sheet "Paper/Quality".

In "Type is:" menu select Transparency for printing on transparencies.

Click OK and complete your print.
