  • Cannot turn off the issue of jam and paper cartridge (both at the same time)

    I have a HP Officejet 8600, running on a wireless home network.  The printer will not work.  We get two messages. 1. Introduction to jam, and I'm going through all the steps to clear paper, including the search for pieces of paper, as well as any leaves.  I found no paper, whole or in part anywhere in the printer.  2. at this point, I get a message that I have a problem with a printer (of ink, installed correctly, etc.) cartridge.  Simply replace us all cartridges, so I know that we are not out of ink.  However, when I opened the door to the area of printer cartridge, the cartridge does not move where I can check it out.  There's just right.  So I'm "stuck".  I don't know how to get the cartridge door to roll over so I can check!  I turned off the computer several times and tried to reset things, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

    Followed - I turned off the printer.  Then opened the cartridge and reaches into the printer access door.  Without moving the cartridge door, I pressed each cartridge to make sure it was placed correctly.  Then, shut the door and back running the printer.  The printer seems to start correctly.  I then opened the door, the door-cartridge moved where I could access them normally.  I double checked that each cartridge is installed and closed the door.

    At this point, everything seems to work properly.

  • TOSHIBA Power Saver software is turn off the optical disc drive, and I'm unable to re - turn on the power.

    Original title:

    Aloha!

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio x 775-3dv78 running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64.
    Similar to another old post here, I have an intermittent problem where the Toshiba Power Saver software is off the ODD (a Matshita UJ240EF - BD - RE) and I am unable to turn on the power.  To put the ODD back on, it's a matter of restarting (sometimes several times) until the STRANGE somehow turns on.
    Sometimes, when I do a hot or cold boot, a window opens asking me if I want Toshiba Power Saving technology to turn ON the ODD.
    I click 'Yes', but the drive remains switched off.
    I also try to use function - same key controls... The STRANGE remains turned off.
    Here are the "best":
    As described in the former post office, inside the Windows power settings, there is a slot layout titled "TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings v8.9.9.64".
    In this context, normally there is ONLY a framework for 'cooling method.  BUT only when the ODD is disabled, a second parameter appears to "Optical Drive Power".
    Change that on ONE for battery and plugged in fact NONE no difference... The STRANGE remains OFF!
    Toshiba support is of no help.  Their answer to this problem is to run a 'Mr Fixit' which I discovered just unrecognized devices and then removes the upper and lower filters for the reader.  This "difficulty" might work from time to time... when it does, the ODD is somehow transformed into a 'removable' instead of one device ATA device.
    But then in a few days, the STRANGE turns off again.
    Something different maybe notable, I found after that I continued services and the related process, programs is that the version number on the Toshiba modules show "8.9.6" - not the "8.9.9.64" in the window Power Options.
    And before you ask (LOL!) what's happening on a soft reinstallation of the operating system by the media of recovery Toshiba with all Windows 7 updates applied.
    While I'm waiting for a possible response, I'll do the following:
    Uninstall and reinstall all THE software Toshiba provided duty with the STRANGE (energy saving, combustion, players, etc.)
    I will also shoot material part and make sure that the STRANGE is well inserted in the connector (IDE?) and that the connector is firmly attached to the motherboard.
    IF who does things, I'll update this message and inform you all.
    Otherwise, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!
    Mahalo!

  • Turn off the screen on Tecra and using external monitor/LCD TV

    I recently bought an LCD TV and was anxious to use it as a monitor for my Toshiba Tecra M2V. I ran into problems.

    I seem to be unable to 'disable' the laptop screen and ONLY use the LCD TV screen at cary, work, games etc. I seem to be rather only beable to COMBINE the LCD with my LCD screen, by creating a "two" screen I followed all the online help and I am still unable to have one screen.

    I just want some LCD TV as my screen!

    Any ideas on how to do this? It's really a pain!

    TIA

    Hello

    Usually, you should be able to do this by using the FN + F5 key combination. As far as I know if the device is connected to the TV, you have three options (maybe depends on the laptop model) LCD only, LCD and external, just the TV device.

    You can also try to switch using GeForce properties:

  • Disable/turn off the auto arrange files and folders?

    does anyone know how to disable auto arrange? I love being organsised and organize my files in the folders for my taste. I could do it with vista and other windows before Windows 7. can anyone help? is microsoft aware of this problem and they do anything?

    1 right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose View > Auto Arrange icons

    2 make sure that it is there no check mark next to Auto Arrange icons

    This works only on the desktop, but not in the display of records, Freak05. The menu option that you're referring to can be reported in the views folder, but only with a registry hack that I noticed earlier. It is more accurately described in the articleHow to disable the automatic reorganization in folders in Windows 7?

  • Unable to turn off the Magnifier in Win7

    original title: I made every effort using all the instructions I can find to turn off the Magnifier in Win7 and none of them worked.

    I'm unable to turn off the Magnifier in Win7 and asked help available to all sources known to me. I was told to use the ease of access and uncheck Mgnifier.

    Because it did not work.
    Then I tried to use settings in the mouse - did not work.  And there are other approaches - none worked!
    I guess the Magnifier is useful for some, but for me, it's a major nuisance and I would definitely find an approach that would disable it permanently...
    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    I'm curious now. Do you want to say its always active and cannot be turned off, or it appears now and again when you don't want or need?

  • How could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

    Prioritize network connections

    OK, here's the situation.
    I have a regular ethernet connection that provides me with a network and the internet.
    I have also a tablet PC which I attach to my PC so I can use it as a controller. (Not that it is important, but it's for a DAW/Midi controller)

    My problem is that whenever I place my tablet, PC starts by ignoring my normal connection and taking the internet from my Tablet (even when it is not connected to the internet). As a result, my internet is de-energized once I tie it, if I'm not as under the wifi on my tablet.

    My question is, how could I give priority to my network connections, (without turning off the strap attached, as it took), so that it uses the internet from my main network connection?

  • All lights on screen Flash - Message - Please turn off the printer and turn it back on

    I'm fighting a problem for a few weeks now with all the lights on the display starts flashing and the message please turn off the printer and turn it back on.   HP sent me a new printer that does the same thing.  The printer is an Officejet Pro 8600.  My computer is Windows 7.  I use a Belkin 750 db wireless router.  I talked to the service the customer several times with no results.  Did a hard reset of the printer, change the SSID of the router, because I think that one of my neighbors has the same router.  The thing most effective I did was change the channel to 6 which will operate for several hours until the display starts to Flash again.  Channels 1 & 11 starts blinking after a few minutes.  I know there are other people who have had the same problem.  I'm about to throw the thing in the trash.  My last printer brand X was set up the same way with no problems.  On the network, there are 2 iPads, smart TV, and an iPhone.  Need help please!

    Super Dave

    Ethernet cable and connection with correction of the problem.  Its been 2 days and the printer worked perfectly.  Please pass this solution on your technical telephone support staff because I know that there are others with the same question.  Thanks for your help.
