Printer screen states Improper Shutdown because power was cut off without using printer power button

This has not happened.  Subsequent power off and power on using power button will provide one-time solution but  message re-appears on what seems to be a time cycle requiring repeat of on -off button action.

Some file or files that are essential for booting got corrupted during the improper shutdown. You could spend hours upon hours testing individually all the thousands of various files and replacing them with known good copies.
Holding down ⌘V at boot time will boot you in verbose mode, and from there there might be a clue which file(s) are corrupted.
But at this point it might be easier to just do an Archive & Install of OS X. Easier yet would be to reformat your drive and then restore your system from the last full backup made before the improper shutdown.

  • Is there a way to turn the iPad off without using the power button?

    I have the new iPad air.
    LOVE IT!
    One thing though...I have a folio style cover on it, magnet closure = power off.
    The case does not allow for power button access, and there are times when I wish for a way to power it off without closing that cover.
    Does anybody know if there is a gesture that can power it off?
    If, not, needs to be one.
    Or, perhaps, a desktop "button" that can do that too. It would probably be an app.
    So, there's my question, thanks for any reply anybody can make on this!

    Completely power off? no. But it will automatically to go sleep after a period of time. You can set the period of time, 2, 5, 10, 15 minutes or never. in 'settings, general, autolock'
    Really, you don't need to totally power it down during its normal use. Mine just goes to sleep all the time and works just fine.

  • My iPod touch screen doesn't shut off. The auto lock is set for two mintues, and everything else is working fine. I've noticed it only fails to shut off when in the music screen. How do I get the screen to shut off without using the lock button?

    Please help. This is really annoying and it runs my battery down. My auto lock is set to two minutes. I've checked several times. Thanks.

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    As far as trying to power up your device, make sure it has a good charge and then hold the button on the top of the phone and the home button on the faceplate together until the apple appears on the screen.

  • Is there any way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?

    Is there a way to stop the print screen from dropping down on top of the page to be printed.  Can the print screen be moved?  When the print screen drops down, it covers the page and the info needed to create the file.  Thank you

    You will find that this is application dependent.  Most Apple applications such as Safari and Mail will use the "sheet" type of dialog boxes that you are referring.  There is no way for the user to change that behavior.  Other, non-Apple, applications like Firefox use a "modal" dialog box for printing etc.  The modal boxes can be moved around so you can see the page behind.

    This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
    My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

  • Why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

    why can I not restart or shut down my imac without using the power button?

    Reset the SMC and then try a restart or shutdown from the drop down menus.

    Then if that doesn't work, backup because you have an OS X issue that will require either a repair or reinstall.

  • Unwanted margin cutting off design when printing document

    I've laid out a design in InDesign that is meant to be printed on a precut 5.5" square card.  The document is set up as a 5.5" square with no margins... my design is set to the edge of the card on the screen.  when i print on 8.5"x11" everything is fine all images appear - nothing is cut off.  when i print on my precut cards the images get cut off by a 1/8" margin on all edges of the card.  printer settings are set to have no margins as well.  i've never had this problem before and can't seem to solve it.  i tried to make the document a PDF and print it that way but the same thing happened.  i contacted epson (i print with an epson RX595) and this is what they said:
    "The program that you are having problems printing from probably requires a Postscript Printer Definition (PPD) and this printer does not have one available from Epson. In order to get a PPD for the printer, you will need to look for third party RIP programs that will work with your printer.
    Another option may be to save the file as a PDF before printing as this will mask PS fonts and EPS files (even if you do not use PS fonts this may be necessary).
    If the issue persists, we recommend contacting the program vendor or Apple for additional support."
    any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!

    Just a guess, but if this is a borderless printer you probably need to click the setup button in the print dialog to access the driver settings, and pick the borderless page size there, then set the size inthe print dialog to "defined by driver."

  • Saving a Text data to a PDF file without using print option

    Hi,
    I want to save a Text to a PDF file. I want to assign the path of the PDF file as a default one.
    If I use Print options, then it ask for the file path at the run time.
    Is there any method to save to a PDF file without using print option in Labview 8.2.
    Regards,
    Raja

    This question comes up a lot. Did you try searching? It depends on the PDF printer driver that you're using. See here, here, here, ...

  • Content in DataHandler was cut off after deserializing WebLogic 10.3.5

    Currently, we found such a issue on WebLogic 10.3.5 that content in DataHandler was cut off after deserializing SOAP message. For example, there is a service operation contains DataHandler for transfering file content. Transferring a 22,377 bytes file via this operation was cut off to 339 byte. The whole SOAP message was checked and validated for containing complete data whether it was transfered via inline base64, SWA or MTOM. Our application is using Axis2 1.3 as WebService engine and it works fine on WebLogic 10.3.2 and the other platforms, such as Websphere and JBoss. So we assume there is something change between WebLogic 10.3.5 and 10.3.2 cause the problem. Does anyone ever meet same problem and may shed some light on this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, but the part cut off the bottom of the first page should appear at the top of the second. No content should be lost, just split between pages.
    Safari makes little or no attempt to keep a line of print or a picture from splitting across pages, seemingly just imaging the web page as one large image and printing so many inches or millimeters of the image per page.
