HP 3000/3600/3800/CP3505 Color Printer Mechanical Problems

These printers have a lot of plastic pieces that can break with just the opening and closing of the front door. Some that lock the cartridges in place, others that actuate the cartridge shutter (drum cover). When they do break they can cause errors, jams, and even print quality issues.

For the 10.92.XX cartridge not engaged error there are a few different plastic pieces within the printer that might cause this error when they break. There are locking levers for both the left and right sides of each print cartridge. The left side locks are just mechanical as they hold the cartridge in the correct position. RC1-6633-000 for the color cartridge and RC1-7618-000 for the upper or black cartridge. The removal of the left side cover and then the HVPS is required to replace these. The right side locks are mechanical as well but also have a grounding spring involved. RC1-6640-000 for the right side lock lever and RC1-6641-000 for the grounding spring. The right side lock levers require the removal of the cartridge drive assembly. This procedure is much more involved than just a cover and a board so pay close attention when removing. If no error is generated when these fail there will most likely be some sort of print quality problem such as light print, uneven densities, and hazing on the page as the cartridges are not held in the correct position for the printing and cleaning processes.

Cover Letter For Job Application – 7 Horrific Mistakes in Your Job Application Cover Letter

When you write your cover letter, every single detail counts. Your cover letter is your first impression so you need to make it work for you. Don’t make these 7 deadly mistakes when you are preparing your job application cover letter.

#1 Sending your cover letter when you do NOT need to

Read carefully the job requirements; sometimes you do not need to attach a cover letter to your resume and you need to fill out an application form instead. Failure to do that could ruin your chances.

#2 Failing to address the letter to the specific person

You need to go the extra mile and find out what the name of  the person you are writing to is. If this implies making a phone call to the company to enquire about the name of the right person, do it.

#3 Telling the employer what the company can do for you instead of what you can do for the company

The hiring manager needs to feel that he needs you in his company, not the other way around. You need to appear confident enough in your job application cover letter and demonstrate strong marketing skills to sell yourself.

#4 Put your reader to sleep in the first sentence

You need to grab your employer’s attention from the very first lines; Like in an arena, you need to “make an entrance” as the first impression, as often, is essential.

#5 Have typos, incorrect grammar and misspellings

Your cover letter needs to … Read more

Importance and Application of Dental Veneers

Are you considering dental veneers? Dental veneers are for those that have discolored, fractured teeth or if you have teeth that are not very straight. This is a procedure that is becoming more common in dental offices because everyone wants a great smile.

Dental veneers are considered a cosmetic procedure and thus, they are not covered completely by many dental insurance companies. In most cases, cosmetic dentistry, if not a medical requirement, is a procedure that you will need to pay for completely on your own.

A composite or porcelain veneer is made wafer thin and is bonded to your tooth with a special resin. There are normally two types of material that can be used in order to create the veneers. Porcelain is one of the most common materials used to make dental veneers today and has always been the material used in the past.

The other material that can be used is composite. Most of the time, these are crafted right in the dental clinic and the whole procedure of crafting and application can be done in a few hours.

It is a great way to change a smile that shows yellowed, stained teeth into one that makes you look fantastic. Though most people may not consider veneers for getting perfect set of teeth, they work well, when the gaps need to be filled. Additionally, this procedure can be used to help people look better and feel better about their own selves. Although this procedure may be expensive … Read more

Advantages of Using the Robot Duct Cleaning Technology

Back in the 1980’s the use of robots was becoming quite widespread for many and diverse applications in the industry. They became popularized on TV and in movies and were being newly tasked with many jobs to cut down on labor costs and increase precision in the production of many items. This included using the robot duct cleaning technology in residential, industrial and business office applications.

About the same time that robots were coming into their own, there was a new awareness of some of the problems posed by building HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems. You might recall the big scare that occurred surrounding what was newly termed Legionnaire’s Disease, when so many people got sick while attending a conference of the American Legion in Philadelphia in 1976. It was later determined that the bacteria responsible for making so many people ill had been lurking in the building’s air duct system.

If not completely and regularly cleaned of dust and debris, air ducts can become host to a variety of problem causing bacteria and fungi that, left untreated, can cause illness to those exposed to the environment within the building. Some of the symptoms can include tiredness, fever, chills, loss of appetite and headache, among others. The air duct cleaning industry then found a new employment for robotics that was a big help in educating clients. They started using small robots with cameras to travel throughout the air duct systems and make a video of just was up … Read more

Overcoming Sewing Motor Weakness Disorder

Most of us, live our lives with certain expectations.

We expect the light to turn on when we turn the switch. We expect our cars to go when we press down on the accelerator.

So, when we press down on the foot control of our sewing machines we expect the sewing machine to work.

At times, we get to thinking of your sewing machine like a friend or in a sense like a real person. We talk to it. We touch it. We listen to it. Sometimes, it may appear that our friend is stricken with an infection or disease. This is especially true when we press down on the power and very little happens.

When you press down on your foot control, does your sewing machine hesitate? Does it groan a little? Does it turn ever so slowly or maybe not at all?

If so, then your sewing machine may have the dreaded Sewing Machine Motor Fatigue Syndrome..

You can determine if this is your problem fairly quickly with a few basic tests.

You set up your sewing machine and are ready to sew, but when you press down on the foot pedal the machine barely moves at all. It is as though the machine is tired from a long hard summer. No matter how hard you press down on that foot control; no matter how much power you put in; the sewing machine just drags along.

The two most common sources of such a problem are the potential … Read more
