  • Officejet 4620 everytime printer print incoming documents it spits out one piece of blank paper

    Everytime the printer prints an  incoming document it spits out one piece of blank paper at the end.  How can I stop that?

    Hi Georgi23,
    Thanks for the response!
    In Windows 7 you will click your Start menu, and click Devices and Printers on the right (or Control Panel and then Devices and Printers). In Devices and Printers, right click on the Officejet 4620 and select Printer Properties (you may then have to select the printer driver instead of the fax driver). In the Print Properties Window, select the Advanced tab at the top and then locate the Separator Page... button in the bottom right corner of the window that opened. Once you click that button a small window will open. If there is any text or anything in the white space, remove it (using either the Backspace or the Delete button) and then click OK, then on the previous screen click Apply before clicking OK.
    Now when you print there should no longer be a separator page. Let me know how these steps work out for you

  • Using in the workflow process the element of Scenario dimension which conta

    Good day All
    In the Scenario dimension has been created element which include as children the some store elements of the Scenario dimension (Plan, Fact ...).
    This element has been assigned as scenario element for Planning Unit Hierarchy.
    When we start the workflow process the children of its elements (Plan, Fact ...) still available for edit on work form for all users.
    Question. Work form contains several elements of Scenario. As in the workflow process close all of these elements, creating only one Planning Unit Hierarchy and run the process only once (in fact, one Scenario).
    thanks

    The total video bit rate is determined by audio & video. Depending on what rate your video file was encoded at will determine how much room is left for audio. PCM(aiff/wav) audio requires a bigger piece of the pie. Video bit rate too high means your overall(video+audio) rate is going above 9Mbps which the format won't allow. The only way to use aiff would be to lower your video file's data rate. The length of your program is also a factor in all of this.
    I had some problems in the past with using aiff instead ac3. Although there shouldn't be any issue I experienced playback issues on some players that couldn't be explained but were cleared up by ac3.  I have been using the same specs as Dave's suggestion for almost nine years and have not had any issues with mix, quality, or levels.

    Hi Wendy Fu,
    Thanks for your feed back. I could see Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll to add as reference to my project. Actually I can open generated rdlc in designer, at run time I get error. I could not make out where is the exact mistake out of three
    options flashed.

    <add assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845DCD8080CC91"/>
    May be I have to change these versions to 9 or 10.
    First I will try adding Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll .
    Once thanks for your reply.

    I really enjoy it when you go through the creative process you go through to create an image.  You should consider doing more of this type of video.  Sometimes we (I) get too focused on how to use Lightroom and Photoshop and we (I) don't focus on the end product.

    hi
    I have tried it using both xml and the initiate tab. I get the same error every time i do it for a particular value. i further think that this is occuring for the out put response that is got from the data base as the log says.

  • TS1388 I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation process, the MacBook Air tells me that I must quit Safari before the installation can continue. As far as I can tell, Safari is closed but I still get the same me

    I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
    What am I missing?

    The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
    Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
    or
    Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column.  If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon.

    Hello Dave,
    Its nice to see such a explanatory question. As per my understanding of your problem, event on sort begin triggers for the first record of the internal table and making the flag as TRUE. So you just put another condition in the COMMAND node as SY-TABIX NE 1. So it skips for the first record.
    COMMAND generate a new page if condition new page switch = TRUE " & SY-TABIX NE 1

  • HT200233 Compressor 4.1 - I'm having trouble creating an MPEG 2 file w/dolby sound. Regardless of the duration settings I select, compressor spits out a 50 minute file with my 10 minute project and 40 minutes of black tacked on the end. Any suggestions?

    My original file is an Apple Pro Res 422 .mov with a 10:55 duration at 23.976fps. I don't have any issues converting this file to any other format - just to the MPEG 2. I'm not trying to alter the frame rate: I just want to compress to the two separate files: a Blu-Ray stream MPEG-2 with a bitrate of 30mbs and a Dolby Digital .ac3
    No matter what I try I always seem to get a roughly 50 minute file (although this duration varies by 4-6 minutes which is confusing) which contains my original video without any problems, and then is filled with a black screen for the remaining time.
    I've never had this issue with previous versions of Compressor - if anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly give them a try!
    Thanks

    I've never had this issue with previous versions of Compressor - if anyone has any suggestions I'll gladly give them a try!
    Thanks

  • I wanted to transfer apps from ipad to iphone, eg 1password.   Unfortunately, following the syncing process, the apps have been transferred but can't get into them and if I can, they don't have the contents in them, they're just the empty app!

    Can you advise how I can sync apps from ipad to iphone without losing data.

    Data does not sync between devices, so you can't do what you want to accomplish.
    If you want to sync 1Password, then install it on both devices and use it's iCloud sync feature.

  • I am using Numbers app for the ipad and it has been working absolutely fine but now, when I want to email a spreadsheet as a PDF via the 'share and print' option, the file now doesn't appear as an attachment to the recipient. Any ideas please?

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:
