Printing equipment are known to cause problems when you least expect it. However this does not always have to be the case. An individual who is ready to take care of his printer and properly maintain it will ensure that it does not cause too many problems. He will however need to be in a position to troubleshoot the common problems that may arise.
When a machine does not turn on even after pressing the power button, this will be an indication that something is not right with the connecting cable. Check the connection on both ends. A loose connection may make it impossible for a device to transmit the necessary energy.
Paper jam is another problem that may arise. When this happens, do not try to force the paper out as it may damage internal components such as the roller. Manufacturers will at times include a hatch at the back to help release the jammed paper. Check the manual for more details.
