Personal printers are a necessary device for work and study at home. However, like any other electronic device, the printer will gradually deteriorate or damage after long use.
Therefore, housewives should consider repairing or investing in replacing the machine through the following signs:
Slow startler
One of the most noticeable signs is slow start-ups. An old printer will often take a long time to start, process the printing order, and the printing speed per page (PPM) is also significantly reduced compared to the original parameters.
The slow start of the printer will more or less affect the progress of the work. Therefore, check to consider bringing it to the market for repair or completely replacement to ensure work efficiency.
Poor printing quality
When the printed versions have vertical stripes, blurred letters, or printed incorrect colors, these are signs that the components inside the machine have worn out.
First, try measures such as cleaning the sprayers, adjusting the squid boxes or even changing new squids. If the condition does not improve, it will show that the drum or spray bottle has expired.
The cost of replacing these components is often quite high, sometimes nearly the same as the value of a new printer that housewives should consider.
Lack of modern technology features
Printing technology has developed remarkably, so old machines are often only connected via a USB port, which will cause inconvenience when used. If the printer does not support wireless connectivity (Wi-Fi), cannot print mobile (such as Apple AirPrint, Mopria) or is printed over the cloud, the working process will take longer.
Consider replacing a modern printer that allows flexible printing from a phone, tablet or laptop to make work much easier.
Repair fees are expensive
Many old-fashioned personal printers use encrypted boxes that are expensive but have very low printing capacity. Sometimes, the cost of replacing a genuine standard encrypted page is even more expensive than buying a new generation printer.
In addition, when the machine starts to have errors such as continuous paper stalls, not accepting papers... will be the reasons why repair fees are expensive. Therefore, housewives can refer to investing in a new printer to be an effective and cost-effective solution.
