Things I learnt about printer today

Something went wrong with my printer again. This afternoon, when I was going to print with my Epson printer, I found some tips about printer. Actually it's about caution in using printer rather than printing tips.

The problem is my printer inkout lamp sometimes blink and I have to press it and try to pull out the cartridge and reinstall it. This seems to be small problem. All you have to do is to change the cartridge and everything should go well. But sometimes this is not necessary. It could be the chip on the cartridge that got loose after printing for quite a long period. Loose chip is not my problem. Mine is that the cartridge latch that keeps the cartridge firmly in the position has been broken. For this case don't press the latch too hard or you'll meet the same problem as mine. So, if the latch has been broken, of course you can't keep it firmly. What you have to do then is to stick the latch back or if you don't want, you may put thick paper to the space near the cartridge, so that the cartridge can be kept firmly in position.

The second thing is that you should pay a little caution when touch metal part of the printer especially when you touch it with wet hand or stand barefooted on the floor. Small electricity will still give you a little shock. And that's what I experienced today. Have you ever experience this?

Turning a netbook as a E-reader

Netbook is light and portable. So, it's really convenient if you want to use it with Adobe Reader as an e-book reader device cause it's easy to bring to anywhere you want.
But it still has the feel like using a common notebook, except its size.
Actually there's a tiny freeware which you can download and install to make your netbook (it also works with your desktop PC - but I believe you won't use it.) be able to be rotated. After the rotation, you can hold the netbook like you usually hold a book. If your Eee PC has a touch screen installed, you can use it more easily, otherwise you still need to press the keyboard or touchpad/mouse to navigate through the page. This tiny program is called EeeRotate.

Seven things you need to do after buying a Netbook

Netbook has become something trendy in this modern world. To most people netbooks such as Eee PC is quite great at portability. And also the price is getting down time to time. Besides its portability, people also consider a netbook for the ease of surfing the internet. But after having a netbook you should also do the following things.
1. Create/backup the recovery disc of the netbook you just buy.
2. Give it a keyboard protector to prevent dust sticking on the keyboard.
3. Buy a portable netbook fan to keep your netbook cool.
4. Buy a small waterproof bag to protect it from rain if you often travel outside.
5. Keep the warranty card to make it easier to claim when something happens.
6. Install antivirus and anti-spyware immediately, because this is necessary when you surf the net
7. Buy the laptop skin to protect the netbook from scratch.
Hope these are useful.
