Problems with Printers

  • Black streaks or smudges - replace toner cartridge
  • Toner cartridges are relatively easy to replace.
  • To order new cartridges call Property Office 5121

To replace a toner cartridge;
Open the printer (there is usually one obvious place on the top of the printer where it opens).
Pull out the existing toner cartridge. Take a new cartridge out of its box and the read instructions.
For most toner cartridges, you unwrap the foil package, pull out a plastic tab that is connected to
a long, transparent piece of plastic. Shake the toner cartridge gently and insert it into the printer.
A toner cartridge should always slide in very easily until the last inch or so, at which point you
need to use a small amount of force to push it into place. If the cartridge does not slide in easily,
remove it and try inserting it again. If you find it still is not in correct or you cannot change toner cartridge, please call the Help Desk ext. 4900.

purpose is to destroy computer-based information, amounts of network traffic and to
shut down networks by creating enormous cost to organizations.

A Worm is a piece of code added to a program or document that, when opened, spreads by
using the infected computer's network connection to search for and exploit un-addressed
security vulnerabilities in other computers' operating systems, network software, Web server software Database software, applications, etc.

An E-mail virus is a program or document attached to an e-mail message that, when opened, spreads by generating an e-mail message containing itself as an attachment and sending it to any number of recipients and groups in the e-mail address book.
