Connectivity, jams, ink/toner, and print quality—explained in plain language for HP, Canon, Epson, and Brother.
Prefer IPP (AirPrint), reserve a DHCP IP, and avoid changing multiple variables at once. Clear spooler queues on Windows and remove duplicates before reinstalling drivers. Add by IP (IPP or RAW 9100) if discovery fails.
Most jams come from worn pickup rollers, skewed guides, or wrong media types. Keep guides snug, clean rollers, and confirm registration flags move freely.
Run nozzle checks (inkjet) or configuration pages (laser). For banding, clean/align; for faint text on lasers, increase density and verify fuser performance.
13.xx jams, fuser 50.x, and ink maintenance. DHCP reservations, IPP vs RAW, and firmware recovery.
5100 carriage/encoder, absorber counters (5B00/1700), and MF Scan Utility setup.
Nozzle health, power cleaning discipline, pad/service messages.
Drum/toner lifecycle, repeat defect mapping, SMB scan reliability.
No. These steps are standard maintenance and configuration. For hardware repairs, use authorized service.
