Is it okay to COVER the new laser printer when it's not in use?

Just bought a Color Laser Jet Pro MFP model M177 laser printer which has to be located in a place that has a lot of dust and pet hair.  I keep it turned off anytime I'm not using it. I want to cover it with a plastic printer cover that would go over the entire printer. Is there any reason NOT go keep it covered when not using it?
Thanks.

Hi there mercbluz!: considering that hostile enviroment you would be in the "fools hall of fame" if you didn't
you & that printer would be behoove by having longer life & productivity not to mention less stress from dealing with the cat hair & dust
hope this enlightens, clarifies & helps you
good luck

  • Is it okay to cover the cellular antennae

    I am considering using a Luvvitt Silverback skin to protect the backside of my iPad 4 with cellular service.  Luvvitt support informed me that it is okay to cover the antennae with the skin and that it would not affect my service.  However, prior to just installing it I wanted to find out if anyone has had experience with covering the cellular antennae with a skin.  It sould be great is someone has experience with the Luvvitt Silverback.
    Thank you,

    I don't have any experience with covering/not covering the cell antenna on an iDevice. With that being said, case manufacturers will usually know something about their product. They have to comply with certain guidlines when it comes to covering critical components. I would assume that what tech support are saying is true & that the skin would have no effect on the antenna operation...after all, they have a product to sell and if it impedes the operation, it won't sell. Maybe you'd have some luck looking up the item in question on Amazon.com and read the reviews from other users there. However, if you want to wait for a valid reply from someone who has actually used the product here on these forums, by all means do so.

  • Need some input for the best laser printer to use on a Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro and am now, a year later, looking for a laser printer. I do not want an ink jet as I do not print enough paper and the jets tend to clog up and the ink dry out, hence the laser.
    I have looked at several different ones, and read the online reviews. Many of them have problems with the drivers for a Mac. I ordered an HP Laserjet P1006 (but have not actually bought it yet) since it was on sale.
    Anyone have experience with this printer? What worked best for you - and by this I mean what printer will work out of the box without having to go online and download drivers, etc.?
    Thanks for your help.

    You might do better using the review information from CNET.com or Macworld.com. I find examining both user reviews and editor choices from the former quite helpful when buying new equipment.
    Personally, I've used HP printers in the past but that's some time back. I have an older HP PhotoSmart printer that has been fine. I also have a Lexmark 510n that I'm happy with, but it's been replaced by a newer model I believe. Works quite well and was OS X compatible out of the box after downloading the driver. Apple has since released a whole new pack of Lexmark drivers for OS X. I also have an old TekTronix laser printer that was quite good in its day. Both laser printers are color.
    I tend to avoid the low-end printers. Cheap is cheap. If there's a $100 laser printer and a $500 one I'd go with the $500 model all things being equal. They generally cost more because they are better built and have better features. I also would prefer models with Ethernet support. I would prefer this to any USB printer or wireless printer - more likely to be less trouble and it isn't necessary to share an Ethernet printer if you have more than one computer on your network.

    The requirements for iTunes:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
    Which Mac do you have?

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hello there, TempestBelcher.
    It seems you've covered all the bases, but feel free to review the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant for connectivity here:
    Apple - Support - iPhone - Calls Troubleshooting Assistant
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/calls/#section_0
    If you've followed all the instructions then there are a few good recommendations for what to do next in the last step.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D

    Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
    Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
    2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
    64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
    AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
    OSX 10.9.2
    I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
    When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
    "After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
    My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
    So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
    I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
    So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
    I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

    > I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
    Ugh. That causes so many problems.
    The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it.

    Hello
    I bought my wife a new MacBook Pro, in setting it up for her, I took her Time Machine external drive to migrate onto the new machine but her old MBP not only was on 10.6, it was my old machine which I was still Administrator for.
    i plugged in the external drive to start the migration process after entering her name and username from the old machine which gave me the options on transferring the old data over.
    I also unchecked the Administrative end that had my info hoping that ONLY her data, files, etc., would be the ones sent over to her new machine which I wanted her to be the ONLY Administrator for. All went like clockwork until the restart.
    Normally the screen should show the username and only need the password but both entries were blank, as in ‘Other’ sign in option available only. I entered her name and password, nothing….used her username and password, nothing. Used my old Administrator name and password, NOTHING!
    I tried defaulting to factory settings from the Restore feature but it directs me to notify Apple. I tried in Terminal to change the password, nothing. I tried to boot from MY external drive and it doesn’t recognize it. I tried to even use my external drive which actually has the Mavericks upgrade, nothing!
    Basically I can only get the startup screen which isn’t accepting the username/password or the Restore feature which doesn’t offer any options helpful!
    Please, how do I start from scratch and start over here? Or simply change the Administrator name and password so I can proceed with everything thats already on there? I wish I could even boot from another drive but no luck on anything!

    First, on the old machine, make your wife's account an admin one. Log into it and delete yours. Then, update the TM backup. Finally, use Internet recovery mode, ⌘⌥R, erase the HD, and restore the OS. One first boot, follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old and enter the new.  Then when I text or call the old number shows up as a selection yet it's no longer under the contacts info.

    When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old number and enter the new number.  When I try to text or call, both the old a new numbers. One up as a selection choice, even though the old number is gone from the contact.

    That's normal behavior as the old one will remain in the memory cache for a while until it's eventually overwritten.  If it's particularly bothersome to you, you can restore your phone as NEW and this will empty the cache.
