HP 4280 deskjet makes jerking movement

     Makes noisy jerking motions in carriage before printing. No paper jam and rollers are clean. Unplugged for 30 seconds; USB and power. Uninstalled software and reinstalled online because disc is not supported by Windows 7 on HP desktop. Still makes these loud mechanical noises (as if it were "confused").

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @slowpoke517 
I read your post about the noise issues you're having with your Photosmart C4280, and wanted to make my suggestion to you. Please disregard the title of the guide I am posting for you however, there are some steps in side that may be of help. Give them a try!

  • How do I make multiple movies look like one?

    I created a demo of 136 slides with mostly screencaps and one
    small flash animation. The final published flash file is
    approximately 30MB. When the demo is run on multiple computers, the
    CPU utilization rises up to almost 100%, this makes the demo run
    very slowly on most computers. I was advised to cut my captivate
    movie in half ( in slides)... however even then the CPU utilization
    is quite high. How can I break my demo into multiple linked movies
    (to bring down the file size) but still have it play smoothly
    without it stopping to load after each new movie? How do I make
    multiple movies look like one?
    Thank you.

    Would it work to make the navigation of the page go to the
    next movie?

  • Halt causes jerk movement

    Using PCI-7344 and MID-7604 and FLEXMOTION.
    3-Axis control, stepper motors, closed loop with optical linear encoders.
    1) When I am stationary and command a Halt, there is a resulting jerk movement, sometimes up to a few 1000 servo steps. Why?
    2) The MAX PID Tune does not work at all. Is there a way to use the LabView PID VIs, including the Auto-Tune VI to tune the PID parameters? Do you have an example or documentation on how to do this?
    3) I am having trouble with getting the move complete to complete. I realize one factor is the PID parameters. I have attempted to tune them manually with the Capture and Read Trajectory data (this is a very cool tool) but so far am not very successful at finding the correct PID parameters. Can I get more documentation on what factors are included in the move complete.
    4) The pull-in moves at the end of the move do not appear to be limited by the commanded velocity and acceleration. Using the high rate data, I am often seeing velocities 4-5X the defined velocities, which then would throw-off the PID controller. Is this a design flaw? Why is this? The pull-in moves are usually completely un-successful at correcting the endpoint.
    5) I am using a 3-D contour move to perform a curve. To define the geometery of the move, I need about 170 points. I would like the speed of this move to be approx 6000 steps/second. Due to the definition of the speed of a contour move to be dependant on the following parameters:
    1) Distance between points
    2) Time delay between points, limited to intervals
    of PID rate which can be btwn 10-45 msec for the
    fastest PID rate, or btwn 10-90 msec for slowest
    This requies me to have a contour defined as 3500 points. This is a big drain on the system due to this restriction.
    1) Why is this restriction here? Is there an work around?
    2) When you change the PID update rate, what does that effect? High speed capture rate? All card processing?
    3) There does not appear to be a way in LabView to change the PID rate? Am I missing it?

  • How do I combine several clips to make one movie?

    The iPhone 6 doesn't have a video pause button (ingenious) so I recorded several clips.  I downloaded these clips to iMovie and put them all in one event.  When I play the event, the video jumps a little every time it goes from one clip to the next.  Is there a way to combine the clips to make one movie that doesn't have those jumps.  Thanks!

    Thanks for your response.  I already figured this out but was unable to post a reply sooner.  I just figured out that you can't reply when you are in private browsing.  Another Apple glitch.  Regarding this issue, in typical Apple fashion, the products can be confusing to use, the user manuals are poorly written, the help menus, many times, aren't very helpful, and the product development decisions can be baffling.
    In the case of video-making and editing, Apple has hit the triple-crown: First, the iPhone 6 video recorder doesn't have a pause button; Second, in iMovie, you CAN'T combine separate clips; And third, again in iMovie, you can't download clips directly from iPhoto - you have to move the clips out of iPhoto first.  By the way, iPhoto is the default location when clips are uploaded to iCloud.  Unbelievable! 
    For any first-time user reading this, a project is a movie or a trailer.  And even when you are in a project, you can't combine separate clips.  You can only combine a clip that was separated back to the clip it was separated from.  Thanks, Karsten, for taking the time to respond.

  • How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb?

    How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb? Can anyone help me please?

    You have to create a QTL file that opens the QT movie in the player. Based on the settings it opens in Full Screen.

  • How do i make two movies from one clip?

    i have imported a clip from my camera.
    i want to make two movies. one is pretty much the entire clip, but one is only a portion of it. how do i retain the integrity of the complete clip while making edits?

    you should copy the clip (edit>copy) from the project that has the clip as its whole, save and close that project, then make the new one that needs to be only a portion of your clip, paste the clip (edit>paste), and edit it. this is either the answer to your questoin, or i dont understand your questoin.

  • I can make a mov OK but got wrong framerate for avi

    Hi,
    I modified the jpegtoMovie.java to generate a avi file.
    I set up a int[] buffer to store the rgb values and stream it out
    to a file. When the format is QuickTime, everything is fine, however
    when I changed to AVI format, the windows media player played it really
    fast. Windows shows it got a framerate of 1000 and a duration of 0.
    I tried to modify the data source to return a duration other then unknown, but it doesn't work.
    Any one got any ideas? Attached is the source
    Thank you!

  • How to make a movie of a presentation keeping audio and pictures in sync

    How can I synch slides and audio (the audios are different lengths) in a presentation and turn it into a video.
    Each slide should stay in place until the audio has finished (the audio's are slightly different lengths).
    I've tried using a free trial of "Adobe Presenter" but I couldn't seem to make a movie of my presentation.
    I will consider purchasing the software that will do this for me as I have  a few presentations I want to make and convert to movie format for my colleagues to watch (this is to help in a teaching environment).
    Is there a program that will let me match up my audios and slides in the correct order and synch them so the audios do not move beyond the slide for which they are intended? Any help much appreciated with this problem.

    Hi,
    The slide duration in presenter is automatically adjusted according to the time of the audio inserted on that slide.
    How are you inserting audio on slide ? Recording or inserting  using presenter option ?
    You cannot create a movie format like avi, mp4 etc
    But you may publish the presenttaion in the swf format which will play in a browser or a swf player. To play in the broswer you just need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your system. It will play like a movie in the broswer.
    Let me know if you need some more help
    Thanks,

  • Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

    Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
    I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF.  The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well.  Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
    Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well.  Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over.  The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage.  Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead.  I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
    Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
    Thanks.

  • How can I export a comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie?

    Can I export an AE comp or pre-comp to another AE project without having to rebuild or make a movie? In regard to tweaks or timing changes based on that projects' needs.

    First, save the project in a different name.  Delete out the comps & precomps you neither want nor need.  Run AE's reduce project command to remove any unused footage, then save it again.  Now you have a simplified project, which you can then import into any AE project you want.
    If you like things nice & tidy, don't forget to use the replace layer (Alt-drag, Opt-drag) trick on any duplicated footage, using the footage from the project into which you import the simplified project.  The alternative: just leave all the footage alone, and know you can't delete it.

  • Can I use imovie to make a movie by first making a soundtrack and then adding video clips to illustrate the sound track?

    I want to make a movie using imovie 11.
    I want to import still photos taken from the inet and import video clips of myself over the stills. I also want this movei to illustrate a soundtrack of my singing with a karaoke file.
    Is this possible?
    How would I get my voice singing with the itune song so my singing and the itune become one track?
    Then could I use that soundtrack to build the movie, rather than start with video an add soundtrack?
    This is an ambitions project.
    HELP!

    Hi
    This is a No and Yes question.
    No You can not add Audio first in any iMovie from iMovie'08 (version 7.0.x) and onwards. You need to use FinalCut Pro X to do this - Where it's rather straight forward.
    Yes - it is a bit tedious but can be faked in iMovie - by first creating a Black .jpg photo. Add this to TimeLine in iMovie as many times (and at max duration) to reserve the time the movie will use. Then add Your Audo track. Then add Your photo and videosequences. There are a function in iMovie that let's You replace the original video with the one You want to insert - "Cutaway" - Then continue till all Black parts are replaced. Movie done !
    But really - take a look at FinalCut where this is much easier.

  • Premier pro cs6: how to use 400 jpg images to make a movie?

    I want to use about 400 jpg images to make a movie.  is there a way to add them to a sequence in a random order?

    I'm not aware of a randomize feature either, but here is a suggested workflow that may make it easier than shuffling 400 images around in Premiere:
    Open your images in Bridge
    Move them around to meet your random requirement
    Highlight all images (Ctrl-A)
    Right-click / batch rename and add a sequence number to the front of each name (I like to add a text "_" too) and copy the resulting set of images to an empty directory
    Import the whole directory into Premiere
    Automate to timeline
    I used to use Liquid and it had a wonderful freestyle way to pre-order your clips or images prior to dumping them onto your timeline, and the above workflow is how I have come to approximate the same.
