Frequent Causes
* Corrupted Print Job
* Color Print Job
* Greyscale Print Job
* Cartridges (59.C0 Error)
* Sensor

Troubleshooting
Start by unplugging the USB/Ethernet cable and restarting the printer. By doing this method, it will let you know if the last print job was corrupted. If the unit restarts properly, print a supplies report to confirm the motors are operational and the paper path is cleared. After a minute has elapsed, reconnect the USB/Ethernet cable so that the pending jobs will print. If those jobs print just fine, your issue is now over. If the 59.F0 Error returns, you will need to cancel the jobs from the computing device.

The first time that I installed Windows 11 on a laptop for work, I received the TPM has malfunctioned message and that prevented me from utilizing Microsoft Office 2019 perfectly. I was attempting to join the laptop with Windows 11 to the domain from home utilizing VPN over a Wi-Fi connection. The first half was successful but since the system had to restart, I lost the VPN connection so important resources needed were inaccessible after the restart and this corrupted the OS and in turn, my network account. It was great that this happened as in my attempt to fix it, gave me the necessary skills to fix it on Windows 10 as well for other coworkers.

Correcting the Issue
I utilized the steps to recreate a network profile and then setup Outlook normally. Once I saw the account was not logged in as temporary, I migrated their files and continued with the tips on importing Outlook email signatures to complete the support request. Once a month has passed, the user can delete the old profile to obtain more storage space on their drive.

If you are planning and installing and using ScriptSafe, keep in mind the following.

It can be a nightmare when you see the 503 Service Unavailable on Fiery programs such as the Fiery Command WorkStation. You will often see the error message shown below when attempting to configure the device in the Device Center or by accessing the server directly via the IP Address in the browser at port 80.

Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Firewall
There is a very high chance that you are utilizing a Windows-based Fiery. If so, please check to see if the Windows Firewall is enabled on the Fiery. Since the Fiery server has a firewall, antivirus firewalls are not generally required.

Ports
Fiery will need to access the following ports 161 and 162 for SNMP and WebTools so be sure to check with the network administrator to see if they have restricted and have them unblocked.

Antivirus
Antivirus programs may accidentally quarantine or block resources so the utmost caution must be used when utilizing an Antivirus program in conjunction with EFI software.

Maintenance
As the error message stated, maintenance could be in progress. Take a look in the Device Center to see what is going on. While there, check to see your current API version. If there is an update, try and push it through. Once correctly installed, you will be able to access the server at port 80 in the web browser and via your Fiery software.

How do you prevent jamming on fax machines to prevent downtime for your business? Let us go over a few points so that you will always be ready to receive that important contract, resume from those joining your firm.

Trays
Your trays have a specific capacity that you should keep under. I recommend keeping the tray at a 50% capacity for normal use and 75% if you are expecting lots of traffic to the fax machine for a given day. A benefit of keeping the trays at a lower capacity is the reduction of stress on the pickup rollers so the rollers do not wear out too quickly while also reducing your chances of incurring misfeeds by picking up multiple sheets. It’s also very important to set the levers for the trays for the correct paper size. If it is not set correctly, misfeeds can incur or the paper can be pulled in at an angle and cause a jam.

Paper
Paper comes in many colors, shapes, thicknesses, and sizes so be sure to match up the guides in the tray correctly. Before loading any paper into the fax machines, you should make sure that the pages are not sticking to each other by fanning them. At times when the paper is being processed in the factory, glue or adhesive for the protective wrapper (which holds a ream of paper) will get unto the sheets of paper thus gluing them together.

Have you seen any “This Picture Was A Total Mistake, Look Closer” online adverts? If you’re an iPhone, iMac to MacBook user with iCloud Private Relay in use while surfing with Safari, there is a high chance that you have seen the image from the YouTube video below. Android users who are not rooted will often see it if their host file is not properly configured.

I like that the Skullcandy Sesh Evo True Wireless In-Ear Earbud works with my Pixel 5 and MacBook Pro. On the MacBook Pro, it was tricky getting it to pair since the buds come up 3 times (left-blue, right-pink, stereo-orange) so you have to pick the correct one (stereo-orange) or you will just get one ear. I ended up using the left-blue for audio from the MacBook and the right-pink for my Pixel 5 so I could watch a movie and pause when an incoming call comes in.

Charging The Case
The Skullcandy Sesh Evo True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds will take no time at all to charge, however, your case may appear to be totally dead and won’t accept a charge but I have discovered that some charging bricks (fast/rapid chargers) will not charge the case no matter what you do as it might be sending too much current. In this instance, you will need to connect the cable (the original from Skullcandy is best if you have it as it is well tested) to the USB port on your computer or power bank as the port there will send the right amount of current for it to charge. If your computer is set to sleep, temporarily disable that feature since the USB port may become disabled during that time if it does not support DAC-UP.

Pairing
You can pair both earbuds for stereo sound but I like to use the left earbud and then when the battery is about to die, swap to the right earbud and put the left earbud to charge. This helps me hear what is going on in my surroundings while doubling my listening time.

Colors
If you have a cool-looking phone case, you can usually find a Skullcandy Sesh Evo True Wireless In-Ear Earbuds to match. Please note prices could vary with the different colors as demand grows for them. Currently, these six colors are available and more may arrive depending on feedback from customers.
* Bleached Blue
* Blue
* Chill Grey
* Deep Red
* Pure Mint
* True Black

What are your options for charging your iPad while camping? Your options will vary depending on how well prepared you are for your camping trip.

Power Bank
One item that should be on your list and at the very top is a Power Bank. They are portable so you can move around instead of leaving your iPad in one place (such as a vehicle) where it could end up being out of eyesight thus increasing the chance for it to get stolen.

Lighting Cable
Have at least two lighting cables on hand for your camping trip. They say “there’s safety in numbers” and by having extra cables, you help yourself out when a cable gets damaged, goes missing, or if you need to charge a second device such as your iPhone.

Kitchen Timer
If your iPad or electronic device is in use or is on while charging, do you know that it will charge a bit slower? I find that shutting down the iPad will give it a faster charge. Since you will not easily see the battery percentage on the iPad and overcharge a full battery, have a kitchen timer on hand to set to alert you to unplug or watch the percentage remaining on the Power Bank if you know how much percent charge goes to top it up.

If you are unable to FTP into a server, it could be due to a few reasons and I will cover them below so that you will know what to expect and if it is possible to correct on your own.

Connections
The “Maximum Connections” is a server-wide value and when it comes to the server, the “Maximum Connections = 50” is considered to be a small value. Because of this small value, it shows as “we have too many connections” therefore, I always increase the Maximum Connections from 50 to 150.

Firewall
Are you having firewall issues? Try and enable the FTP passive ports in the firewall as this often reduces firewall issues that you may experience.

Most computer users do not like to troubleshoot fan failures when the messages appear but they should know that the cause of these issues could go undetected for weeks if not months if it were not for the fan failures and they would risk having more serious issues.

Alert! CPU 0 Fan Failure
This warning indicates the Central Processing Unit (CPU) is in danger of running hotter than normal as the fan that is used to keep it cool is failing. Since most computers can be placed in a tower or desktop stance, the stance is most likely in a horizontal position and the vent in the lid of the case is blocked by the monitor and printed documents which is restricting airflow. Once I see such a setup, I will put the computer in a vertical position but after I leave, the client will often put it back to the way it was as the monitor would end up being lower. What they should do is get a stand to raise the monitor and also have space to tuck paperwork.

Alert! Rear Fan Failure
Most people see this message and then replace their Power Supply Unit (PSU) only to see that the error is still present. On a custom-built PC, your case will have a fan in the rear to pull heat out of the case (the correct way) or pull cool air in (the incorrect way). Pulling cool air into the case also pulls in dust, smoke, etc. so always have the rear fan expunge the heat rather than pull cool air in. If your PC was built by a PC company such as Dell, it won’t be the PSU but the fan (often called motherboard fan) that pulls air in from the front of the case to cool the interior starting with the boot drive and a portion of the motherboard.

Alert! Previous Fan Failure
This indicates one or more of the connected fans had issues while the computer was on. To find out which and the time, go into the BIOS and check the reports. When you see which, open up the case and do an inspection and run a diagnostic so that the fans can operate at the maximum revolution per minute and dislodge any debris that may be slowing it down.

Its take under 20 seconds to connect to the Virtual Private Network With Cisco AnyConnect on Microsoft Windows. I have turned my desktop into a Hackintosh to run macOS mainly and then use a laptop for work. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi network uses AP Isolation and is on a completely different network so resources are blocked so I must utilize VPN to get through the firewall.
