How Do You Fix Common Printer Issues

Printers, like every technical or electronic device, will malfunction at times. This includes the branded ones like HP and Dell. With the best brands however, the errors are comparatively lesser and resolvable, with a little knowledge and technical knowhow. HP support number UK brings you today a list of the common problems and some handy tips to mend them on your own. If this does not work out, our technicians are always there to help you out.


When your toner starts smearing

Check your fuser, replacing it if necessary. Refer to the manual if you are unsure about how to replace a fuser. If the fuser shows the message Clean Fuser Input, you know it is time for your fuser to be cleaned. Open the printer’s front door, check for the blue brush inside and take the toner cartridge out to be able to reach the fuser input assembly properly.

Like our technicians will explain, if you happen to call HP customer service number, you will find the assembly on top of your black toner cartridge pot. You can use the blue brush for cleaning the assembly. If the fuser does not need cleaning, it may be time to replace the toner cartridge. If you see it is not defective or nearing its end anytime soon, just clean it and see if that helps. Feel free to call us if you need any further assistance.

When there are frequent paper jams

Paper jams are common with printers, be it of any brand. They happen for a number of reasons – like torn bits of paper, wrong paper tray selection, paper roller coming loose or something as minute as a speck of dust. Technicians at HP technical support phone number have seen so many factors behind this common error.

Check to find out if the paper type matches the printer properties. If not, switch to the right kind of paper. Next check that the right paper tray has been selected. If the wrong tray is selected, it often causes paper jam. Tighten the paper roller if it is loose. The roller might need a replacement too. Check to see if it looks too shiny. Lastly, make sure no one pulls paper in the wrong direction. Pull it in the paper path only.
