Storing printer for few months

do i need to do anything special when storing the printer for a few months?

The Envy 5530 has printheads integrated into the ink cartridges.  If you can store the printer in a cool place that is not subjected to temperature extremes that would be best.  Turn off the printer using its power switch and wait for the printer to finish parking the printheads before unplugging the printer. 
If it is not possible to store the printer in a cool place outside of temperature extremes you could alternately remove the cartridges and store them.  Get a sandwich sized Tupperware container and fold a bit of paper towel and put it on the bottom of the container with about a tablespoon of water.  Put the cartridges on their side and make sure the nozzle plate does not touch anything, either the sides of the container of the other cartridge.  Seal the lid firmly in place.  If possible put this in the refrigerator or some cool place for storage.  
When you return allow the cartridges to return to room temperature (while still sealed in the container) for about a day before installing them back in the printer.  It may be necessary to run a few cleaning cycles to get the ink flowing properly again.

  • Stop depreciation for few months

    Hi,
    I want to stop depreciation for few months.
    For those months system should not calculate the depreciation.
    for example, i dont want to calculate depreciation for assests for the sep, oct months, after that system should calculate depreciation.
    how to proceed this.

    HI,
    The system will calculate the depreciation based on the useful life defined. But depreciation won't be calculated for the shutdown period as defined in the Asset Master.
    For example if you define 12 periods (1 to 12) of useful life for an asset, and assume that shut down period is 3 and 4, then the depreciation won't be calculated for period 3 and 4 but the useful life of the asset will be extended to the period 13 and 14. (i.e period 1 and 2 of next year). and the depreciation will be calculated for period 1 and 2 of next year.
    Thanks

  • Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted?

    Been using g iPhone 6 for few months, just backed up my iPhone 5, restored my pics etc onto 6 but all original photos have been deleted, Is there a way I can get them back?

    If you are backing up to your computer, check in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, if there is more than your recent iPhone 6 backup listed. If yes, transfer the photos from your phone to the computer first, then restore from the backup. After that, transfer the recovered photos again to your computer and sync all of the transferred pictures to your phone, using iTunes and the settings in the photo pane.

  • Mbp battery care before storing laptop for 2 months : anything special I should do?

    Do I just shut it down or should I empty 50% of the battery as if I were leaving for 5 months?
    Do I remove the battery?
    Thank you!

    Apple recommends that you store the battery with a 50% charge. If you store a battery when it’s fully discharged, it could fall into a deep discharge state, which renders it incapable of holding any charge. Conversely, if you store it fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery may experience some loss of battery capacity, meaning it will have a shorter life. Be sure to store your notebook and battery at the proper temperature.

  • HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545 Printer Black Print for Copy/Scan/Print not working

    Whenever tried to Copy or Print with Black and White Print option nothing is getting Printed. Because of this issue my Color Cartridge is getting wasted. Please suggest ASAP resolution for it as I brought this print just few month back I was not expecting to face this issue. I want to Print my Documents with Black Cartridge so immediate suggestions are needed here. Thanks

    Hi , I see by your post that you are unable to print, copy or scan in black. I will certainly do my best to help you. I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation. Please try the steps in this document to see if it will help resolve this issue.Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP ENVY 4500 and Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 e-All-in-One Printer Series. Here is a document for cleaning the contacts on the Cartridge.A 'Cartridge Missing' or 'Incompatible Ink Cartridges' Error Message Displays for HP ENVY 4500 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540 Printers. Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?

  • Billing call data for previous months

    I have always been on paperless billing to save money. As Kerry said in a previous post to encourage paperless billing:
    "Get organised
    Signing up to paper-free billing with My BT can save you time – and it makes finding your latest bill much easier than searching through endless cabinets and drawers for that elusive bit of paper.  Copies of your bills are stored online for 15 months, so they're always there to view, download and print when you need them. One secure online log-in gets you instant access to your bill.:"
    I now find that you can only look at call data for the latest months bill. It is no good having paperless billing if you have to use loads of your own paper to print out all the data.

    I  have a problem with the synchronisation of my iPhone and iPad with Outlook 2007 on my 64-bit Windows 7  PC. For several years,
    I have had no problems with the synchronisation by cord connection and iTunes between these programmes. However, a few months ago I decided to use Mobile Me. However, there were problems with duplication of calendars and then “rogue events” – which could not be deleted – even if deleted on Outlook and on the iPhone (or both at the same time) – they would just reappear after the next synchronisation.  All other synchronisation areas (eg Contacts, Notes etc) work fine.
    I have looked for help through the Apple Support Community and tried many things.  I have repaired my Outlook. I have repaired my .pst file in Windows. I have re-installed the latest version of iTunes on my PC. I have re-installed the firmware on my iPhone. I have tried many permutations on my iPhone. I have closed down all Mobile Me functions on the iPhone. I have spent upwards of 24 hours trying to solve this problem.
    What am I left with? Outlook works seamlessly on my PC. My iPhone calendar now has no events from  my calendar, but does not synchronise through iTunes. Nor does it send events initiated on the iPhone to the Outlook. I am at the point of abandoning iPhones and iPads altogether.  I need to have a properly synchronising calendar on my phone.  Do you have any suggestions?

    In the control panel goto the "Lenovo - Power Manager" and click the battery tab, there is a maintenance button in there that will let you change the charging profile for your battery.   (from memory, so exact wording may be off)
     The lower the numbers you use there, the longer the battery *should* last.    These batteries degrade faster at higher charge levels, however storing them at too low of levels is also not good for them... I've read that 40% is optimal, but just not realistic if you use your computer.

  • Does it harm the battery if the macbook stays turned off for a few months?

    I might be in a situation where I will not use my macbook for a few months. A family member may use it occasionally, but it would be turned off most of the time. Does this hurt the battery or other aspects of computer performance?

    From the User Manual: "Storing your MacBook If you are going to store your MacBook for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (ideally, 71° F or 22° C) and discharge the battery to 50 percent. When storing your computer for longer than five months, discharge the battery to approximately 50 percent and then remove it from your MacBook. To maintain the capacity of the battery, recharge the battery to 50 percent every six months or so."

  • Lost all printing with Leopard a few months ago, need to fix, please help.

    I think all of my printing capabilities went away a few months ago when i updated to 10.5.6. haven't been able to fix it on my own.
    I have a hp 130 and a konica 6500 with a ic-304 creo. the hp is set up from a windows printer server and connected through a networked ethernet. the creo is pretty much its own print server with ip address, also available through the windows print server.
    I go to add my printer, enter in the ip address, or browse, choose my driver, add printer, ect. if I am able to accomplish those tasks, then i attempt a print, only to have the que instantly stopped, and i can't get it to resume printing or to print.
    for the last few months, i've been using a tiger laptop, a virtual XP on the macpro, the Xp box on the konica printer and a thin client PC to print. but I'd really like to regain print functionality on the macpro and not have to deal with windows anymore.
    have tried those weird security login things that pop up when i try to resume printing: (server/username), (username/server), (guest), updating firmware, re-installed drivers.
    please help, I really don't understand security, or how to make it work with printing, or bypass it entirely. i don't know how to get printing back.
