Drivers for the Fujitsu fi-6240Z

Tuesday, December 4, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

Looking for drivers for the Fujitsu fi-6240Z Document Scanner? I was very fortunate to find the TWAIN32 Drivers that supports the listed Operating Systems from Microsoft. Since I manage 600 Dell computers running XP, Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10, and 4 different models of Fujitsu scanners, I make sure to use the same Windows 7 drivers so that I can rule out issues when I need to troubleshoot the computers or move from one machine to the next. I have tried updated drivers and saw issues on Windows 8 and 10 so I went back to the old Windows 7 drivers.

Install the Hardware
01. Do not plug in the data cable.
02. Do not plug in the power cable.
03. Skip to installing the drivers.
12. Install the power cable and power up.
13. Install the data cable and use it normally.

Installing The Drivers
04. Close all programs such as Microsoft Word
05. Create a C:\Scanner\Drivers folder on the C:\ partition.
06. Navigate to Fujitsu’s website for Windows 7 drivers and avoid newer versions.
07. Download and save both TWAIN32 Drivers called Ftal8mX1m.exe and Ftal8mX1m_R.exe into C:\Scanner\Drivers.
08. Execute Ftal8mX1m.exe using an account with Local Administrator rights.
09. Search for the extracted setup file in the C:\Scanner\Drivers subfolder then execute.
10. Follow the directions prompted on the screen by the installer.
11. Restart the computer once you (and shared users) save your open files.

Now that the Windows 7 drivers I linked above to are installed and computer system restarted, connect the data cable to the scanner and computer then the power cord to the scanner and outlet and power on the scanner so that the OS can detect the new hardware.

For easy scanning daily, navigate to the Control Panel and right-click on the scanner in the Devices and Printers section and choose to create a desktop shortcut. It will do so on the Desktop of the logged-in account. Rename the shortcut and move it to the Public Desktop folder with an Administrator account so all logged-in users will see the scanner, not just you then do a test scan with your scanning software.

Microsoft Account

Sunday, October 7, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

A Microsoft Account is an account that you either love or hate and here’s why.

Electronic Mail
Having an account gives you access to send and receive electronic mail but if you plan to use it to receive automated email alerts, the server that is generating the alerts may get their IP Address banned and you will have to fill out a lengthy form to get it unblocked. It may not seem like a big deal at first until you realize that other Microsoft Account holders will not get an electronic mail from you as well so if it is shared hosting, clients that are sharing the same IP address or subnet on the server will incur the issue.

Software
Quite a few software and apps require a Microsoft Account. One that I see it asked for frequently is Microsoft Whiteboard. Log into your account first to gain access to download the software.

TP-LINK USB Printer Controller

Monday, August 13, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

Are you having a hard time locating the TP-LINK USB Printer Controller? If you have followed the instructions by TP-Link, do not forget to change the Hardware Version number to match your device.

An example is seeking the Archer CR700 (which currently comes in V1 and V2) and by default, the site chooses the V2 so the “Utility” tab is missing. Once that is set correctly to V1, you can download the following:
* TP-LINK USB Printer Controller Installer.dmg (for Apple’s macOS)
* TP-LINK USB Printer Controller Installer.exe (for Microsoft’s Windows)

Please keep in mind that the software may be limited to the V1 hardware and is no longer in the V2 or the V2 now has this built into the firmware.

Ways to Make Money Online

Friday, August 10, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

I have been asked quite a few times about ways to make money online and usually do not share the the tips that I know because it will make additional competitions plus restrictions when they abuse or misuse the tips. Here is what has worked for me over the years being online and offline as well.

Affiliate Marketing
There are companies that wants to get their products out there and if your browser or network connection is not blocking them, you will see it listed on the web pages of sites that you visit. If you have a website and it get traffic, Affiliate Marketing is a great way to start out but do not over do it on visual advertisements as the browser has to load them when the user visits. Remember that the user came to read the content, not see the ads. Ads are only helpful if they are shopping and your banner or link shows how to get it at a discount.

Internet Reseller
This do not always work but becoming a reseller of Internet services can be a way to make money online. You find the perfect domain name that is not registered or find one that an owner let expire (as they are short on funds, passed away or not paying attention) and register it. When someone needs the domain name, they will contact you for an offer.

Online Surveys
One way to make money online and store credit is to take online surveys. I have taken online surveys and has used the funds to rent movies, buy music from artists that I like along with electronic version books to improve my knowledge and skills which has helped in getting my foot in the door at companies in search of talented people.

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 Articles, News Comments Off

Does someone know one of your passwords? If you now how to scramble a password to make it harder to guess and change it frequently, most likely not. They however, do know your email if you got one of the following. It happens by registering for service, having it on posted on your website or in your whois listing.

I know JohnDoe one of your pass word. Lets get right to purpose. You don’t know me and you’re most likely wondering why you’re getting this e-mail? Not one person has compensated me to investigate you.

In fact, I setup a malware on the 18+ videos (pornography) web site and guess what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out operating as a Remote Desktop with a keylogger which provided me access to your display and web camera. after that, my software program collected every one of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as emailaccount. After that I made a double-screen video. First part displays the video you were watching (you have a nice taste lol), and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam, & its u.

You got two different options. We are going to go through these solutions in aspects:

Very first solution is to neglect this email. As a result, I will send out your very own videotape to all your your contacts and then consider regarding the disgrace you will get. And likewise if you happen to be in a relationship, just how it will eventually affect?

Other option is to give me $7000. Lets describe it as a donation. In such a case, I will instantaneously erase your video recording. You can go on your way of life like this never occurred and you never will hear back again from me.

You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search for “how to buy bitcoin” in Google search engine).

BTC Address: [redacted]
[CASE sensitive copy and paste it]

In case you are curious about going to the authorities, good, this email message cannot be traced back to me. I have dealt with my moves. I am just not trying to charge a fee a whole lot, I prefer to be compensated. I’ve a specific pixel in this message, and right now I know that you have read this email message. You have one day in order to make the payment. If I do not receive the BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including members of your family, coworkers, and so forth. Nonetheless, if I do get paid, I’ll erase the video immediately. If you need evidence, reply with Yes! and I definitely will send your video to your 15 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, thus please don’t waste my personal time and yours by responding to this email message.

I am well aware JohnDoe2018 is your passphrase. Lets get directly to the point. You do not know me and you’re most likely wondering why you are getting this email? Not one person has compensated me to investigate you. actually, I placed a malware on the 18+ streaming (porn material) website and guess what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean).When you were watching video clips, your web browser initiated functioning as a Remote Desktop that has a key logger which provided me with access to your display screen as well as webcam. Right after that, my software program gathered every one of your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, and e-mail . Next I created a video. 1st part displays the video you were watching (you’ve got a fine taste hahah), and 2nd part shows the recording of your cam, and its u.

Hey – I actually know all of the dirty secrets of your life. I will not explain you exactly what I know, I’ve every piece of information along with me. To prove this, allow myself say to you that one of your passwords is actually ********. Pay me $3000 via BITC01N to the address [redacted] within the next 45 hrs. Let me make one thing clear, that I will ruin your life fully if I do not get the payment. When I do get the payment, I will erase every last information I have with me, and I will go away for good and you’ll don’t ever hear a thing from me. It is the first and final email from me as well as the offer can not be negotiated, therefore do not answer to this mail.

HP Deskjet 895Cse

Friday, March 9, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

Are you thinking about acquiring the HP Deskjet 895Cse or is a current user? Here are some things I have come to learn during my support of the devices.

Ink Cartridges
The HP Deskjet 895Cse requires two ink cartridge to perform. If one or both is not installed, the ink alert LED will blink on the printer to let you know. On the left of the DeskJet printer is the tri-color cartridge (which holds Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) and on the right is black. when placing the cartridges, please remember that the gold contacts needs to be facing away from you or it will not fit. Loading inks is as easy as making sure it has power, pressing the power button and lifting the cover.

Quality
In the Devices and Printers section, I found Draft, Normal and Best print options. Lower quality means faster printing while Higher requires time and ink so set accordingly.

Outlook Prompts for a Password

Thursday, March 8, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

If Outlook prompts for a password, there are a few reason that it could happen and you may be able to resolve it yourself without putting in a call (since you can’t email) to your IT Department.

Password is Expired
A common reason that outlook will prompt for a password is that your network account is expired. Try accessing email from the once of your free internet browser and seek a detailed error message upon login. If it is expired, it will alert you to change it and list any stored emails. You can then return to Microsoft Outlook and have it open without it requesting a password. Keep in mind you may need to log off your network account or lock the screen then use the new password so that you can access a shared folder on your network.

Internet Taxes on eBay

Wednesday, March 7, 2018 Articles, News Comments Off

eBay supports tax policy that is fair to entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses, which are vital to the American economy, and they oppose efforts to impose taxes that would harm these businesses. Millions of people across the country sell on the eBay marketplace, and there has never been a more critical time to stand against new and unfair Internet taxes.

The U.S. Supreme Court will make a decision in the coming weeks that could give states the right to tax every small business on the Internet.

The issue is just as urgent on Capitol Hill, as states, shopping centers, and large retailers lobby hard to increase taxes on small businesses and their online customers. When the Supreme Court makes its decision, it will bring together the various threads on the issue of Internet sales tax.

Our leaders in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals across America need to know how you feel about these new and harmful Internet tax burdens. Please digitally sign this petition to show political leaders that you stand with us against these new taxes. It should take less than three minutes. eBay will deliver your signatures to President Trump, key members of Congress, and select state governors.

Rest assured that eBay will continue to fight this battle on behalf of all of our valued customers. Thank you for taking a stand for millions of small businesses across America.

Qt5Widgets.dll is Missing

Tuesday, March 6, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

Are you are seeing a message about Qt5Widgets.dll is missing on your Windows PC? If so, try and remove and reinstall Malwarebytes Premium Trial if you or your IT Department was installing that software recently especially if you received a prompt by Malwarebytes itself to restart the computer.

So why did you get the prompt? Well, it most likely got hanged at some point during the install. Fortunately, Malwarebytes prompts to reinstall and since the issue is new, I knew the root cause and fixed it with a reinstallation. If you are in the IT Department, you may want to skip Malwarebytes Premium Trial since it has a reminder notification to upgrade after 14 days passes and will cause the end user to call your department unnecessarily for popups so substitute with the Barracuda Malware Removal Tool instead.

Out of Paper

Monday, March 5, 2018 Articles, Tips Comments Off

If you own or use a local or network printer, eventually, you will receive a message that the printer is out of paper and you will need to do one or more of the following to fix the problem.

Check the LCD Panel
Most users will want to check the trays to see if it ran out of paper but this is unnecessary as the LCD will tell you which tray it is looking for paper. Often, print jobs will try to go to the manual feed or Tray 1 area due to the page settings so being at the printer’s display screen will let you know if you have to bypass Tray 1 or add paper to Tray 2.

Empty Tray
Sometimes Tray 2 is full or Letter Size and Tray 3 is empty of Letter Size. This isn’t supposed to be a problem as the printer should start taking paper from Tray 2 but some printers will refuse to do so unless you walk over to printer and tel it that is your wish. Some users find this helpful if Tray 2 has Letterhead Paper while Tray 3 has Plain Paper.
