Printer prints half a page

A printer is a peripheral device that connects to a computer for interconnected operation. Its main purpose is to convert electronic files and documents and further output to paper. With it, users can print any amount of text and graphic information. The use of modern developments and access to the Internet has improved the quality of work and increased the productivity of technology.

For the first connection and use it is enough to read the instructions and the operating manual, which comes bundled with the purchased equipment. But sometimes users encounter problems when trying to print texts. In this case, it is worthwhile to find additional information on the topic in order to solve the problems yourself.

There are various types of faults, which are divided into two main groups: mechanical damage to system components and failure in software settings. The first category includes the following problems:

• Damage to printer casing and main control panel. As a result, the equipment can not carry out valuable work.
• Rubbing of the wires used for connection to the power supply and the computer.
• Poor condition of the sensors on the cartridge case or breakage of special chips necessary for recognition by a computer.
• Incorrect installation of items in the appropriate compartment.
• The accumulation of dirt, dried paint and foreign elements inside the device.

Usually, this type of problem is easy enough to fix by yourself, without the help of a wizard. If there are failures in the program, make an independent diagnosis and the solution does not always work. Perhaps the reasons for the termination of work were the following problems:

• Incorrect connection and installation of software with a set of drivers.
• Using outdated drivers.
• Incorrect settings for the printer, possibly set to offline or prohibit printing.
• Virus damage to the system that caused a failure in the main functions.

In this case, you need to contact a specialized service center, where you will quickly be helped to diagnose and fix problems.

Important! Do not make an independent repair or replacement of equipment components in order to retain the right to free diagnostics and the elimination of errors under warranty.

One of the most interesting and confusing problems when working with a printer is printing half of the text. At the same time, the displayed display maintains good quality, but half of each page remains empty. In this case, the user should know the source of the problem and the correct actions to resolve it.

First, consider the option when only the top of the page is printed. To begin with, try printing one more page after the sheet is printed out in half. If printing is not carried out, most likely you have run out of ink. Simply refill the cartridge for recovery. If this does not help, the reason is to look in the print format settings.

1. Most often this situation occurs when the economy mode on the printer. Simply turn off this feature, then the sheets will be printed out in full.
2. In some cases, an incorrect print format setting may be included. Remember the last print session and the settings used for this. Go to the document view and select a standard A4 sheet format. This should help to organize the work of technology.
3. Also, displaying text on half of a paper sheet is possible in case of incorrect selection of the page orientation during printing.

Important! When working with different formats and sizes, make sure that the paper used matches the specified parameters.

In this case, you can accurately eliminate the cause of the lack of ink, since the display of the text appears after the middle of the sheet. Most likely, the causes of such a malfunction are in the above described failures in settings and formatting. In this case, the approach to solving the problem will be no different. Before printing a file, go to the parameters and adjust the required indicators for the application of print on paper.
