Be Careful After Long Periods of Nonuse

SUMMARY: After your printer sits idle for many days, print a few test pages before a larger document.

Some people rarely use their printers. If you fit this category but need to print something after your printer has been sitting unused for several weeks, don't expect that first sheet of paper to come out brilliantly. Print heads get dirty, ink may dry or smear, etc, resulting in a not-so-nice-looking document. Before you print that important document after a period of non-use, you may want to clean the print head and/or print a test page first to make sure everything is in good working order. Refer to your printer manual for instructions.
