Whether you are a business owner or just a hard-working employee, or even a student in University or grad school, odds are that you use a printing device. While these machines have become extremely useful and intuitive, there are still things that you can do to ensure that your Fargo printer continues to work properly. Check out some tips and tricks on the upkeep, maintenance, and quality of your device so that you never run into a printing snag.

Keep Things Running Smoothly

Not to use a play on words, but you can maintain the smooth printing process of your Fargo printer by keeping things easy and breezy. For instance, humidity levels can plummet, depending on the weather season, and this can wreak havoc on your machine. So be sure to monitor humidity levels in your office or building so that the cartridges and other components don’t get clogged and rendered unusable. You can do this by checking for levels of low humidity and controlling those levels by installing a humidifier in the room. Nowadays, humidifiers are a low-cost option that can help to raise humidity levels in very arid environments. Another way to keep your printing process running smoothly is to utilize the device on a regular basis. Try not to go more than a couple of days without printing.

Stop Those Splotches and Smudges

Okay, so what if clogging is not the problem, but when you do print something out, there are blotches and smudges all over the place? What a mess! Depending on the model of your Fargo printer, you may need to remove the cartridge and check out the ink-spraying nozzle. Other models hold the nozzle elsewhere, so be sure to refer to your user manual before you start dismantling your device. Once you locate the nozzle, you should see that the protective covering, which was taped on, has been removed. If it is still there, it is
Pay Attention to Input and Output

You may be carefully checking what’s coming out of your printing equipment, but be sure to pay attention to what you are putting into it as well. This includes the ink cartridges and printing paper that you install into the device. It can really make all the different between a well-operating machine and a slow and malfunctioning one. Ensure that the equipment is set to the proper setting before you print, including the settings for paper type. This is crucial, as different types of paper will require a certain type of ink as well as an appropriate amount of ink. It’s an easy thing to overlook, but it makes all the difference when doing your printing jobs accurately.
