Care tips for the computers
We require computers in everyday
activities. To ensure its long run, we need to take care of the computer
carefully. Here are few tips related to that:
It is highly important that
you keep the computers in a safe and dry place. Be careful about moisture and
heat. Remember that the computers should not be placed anywhere close to the
heat or water source. Often people have the habit of drinking or eating next to
the computer. Avoid doing this.
You need to regularly clean
the computer to avoid dust settling down on it. However, often people are not
aware about the right method of cleaning the computer. Make sure that you use
nothing but a static free cloth to clean the computer. There are special static
free cloth and cleaners to be used only for the computers. Use them for your
office/home PC.
Often dirt gets accumulated
on the keyboard. While it is easy to clean the dirt from the sides of the
keyboard, you can face trouble in taking out the dirt from between the keys.
The best way to clean the dirt from in between the keys is to turn the keyboard
upside down. Shake it little bit and all the dirt will automatically fall down.
If there is still dirt among the keys, then you can use compressed air.
Make sure that the
ventilation holes in the computer do not have any blockage. There should not be
any dust blocking the ventilation holes. Remember that blockage in the
ventilation hole will lead to the overheating of the computer.
Again, you can use compressed
air to remove the debris from the ventilation hole of the computer.
Make sure that your computer
is plugged in with the surge protector.
Care tips for the printers
Clean the removable parts of
the printer at first. You can use a dry clean cloth to wipe the removable parts
of the printer.
It is highly important that
you use appropriate paper size and quality in the printer. In order to do this,
read the manufacturer instructions carefully. Make sure that the paper you use
in the printer is as per the ideal size suggested in the manual.
Note: in case you are
confused with the term paper weight – it refers to the paper thickness.
When you are using the
printer, often people tend to overfill the paper tray. Do not do this. Put as
much paper sheets as required.
In case any paper sheet gets
trapped inside the printer, remove it immediately.
Be careful with the printer
ink. Use branded high quality ink like – Canon Large Format Ink. While you are refilling the ink, read the manual instructions
carefully. Carefully open the printer and remove the used ink cartridge.
If you are unable to find the
ink cartridge in the printer, use the printer's manual for instructions.
