The high voltage power supply could also cause this error.
TONER OUT	The toner cartridge has run out of toner. Depending on how the printer has been configured, it will either continue to print or stop. Due to the resolution of the toner level sensor, it is possible that a small amount of toner (less than one percent) might still be present in the cartridge.	If the printer has stopped, you can resume printing by pressing GO for each job. Replace toner cartridge.	The high voltage power supply could also cause this error.
TRAY [X] EMPTY [TYPE] [SIZE]	The specified tray is empty, but the current job does not need this tray in order to print correctly. If this message appears and the tray contains print media, a sensor could be damaged.	1. Load the empty tray (x) to clear the message. If you do not load the specified tray, the printer will continue printing from the next available tray, and the message remains. 2. If the message remains after the specified tray is loaded, check sensor arm flags for damage and be sure they move freely. 4. Replace defective paper out sensors.
TRAY [x] LOAD [TYPE] [SIZE] where x is tray 2, 3, or 4	This message occurs for the following reasons: Tray 2, 3, or 4 was requested, but the tray is empty. Tray 2, 3, or 4 was requested, but the adjustments are not set for the requested type or size.	1. Make sure that all three paper size adjustments have been made. Also make sure that the type has been set at the control panel. 2. Load the requested media into an indicated tray. Ensure the tray is fully seated.	Make sure the paper tray is set for the proper size.
			Also you might need to replace the cassette size PCA.
TRAY 1 LOAD [TYPE] [SIZE]	The print job has requested a size and/or type of media that is not loaded.	Load the requested print media into tray 1 (or any other desired tray). - Ensure that the trays are correctly adjusted for size. - The tray type settings (and size for tray 1) must be set from the paper-handling menu. If this message appears and the correct media is loaded: - Ensure that all paper size adjustments have been properly performed (see page 220). - Ensure the tray type setting is correct in the paper-handling menu. - Check the size tabs on the right side of the tray. - Check the size switches and paper sensors. - Ensure the tray is fully seated.
TRAY 1 SIZE = [xxxx]	The printer is asking what size of media has been loaded in tray 1.	In response, you can take either of the following actions: 1. Press SELECT to accept the paper size. 2. Press -VALUE+ to change the size and then press SELECT to accept the new size. The printer will first display the TRAY 1 TYPE = XXXX message (see the description of that message). If you do not press any buttons in the time-out period (about one minute), it displays this TRAY 1 SIZE = XXXX message. Changing the size here changes the default for tray 1 paper size in the paper-handling menu.
TRAY 1 TYPE = [xxxx]	The printer has received a job under the three following conditions: - The media type requested by the job is not available in the printer. - Tray 1 has been set for CASSETTE. - Media has been placed in tray 1 (thus triggering tray 1’s paper sensor). If you do not press any buttons, the message disappears in about one minute).	You can take either of the following actions: 1. Press SELECT to accept the paper type. 2. Press -VALUE+ to change the type and then press SELECT to select the new type. Note Changing the type here changes the default for tray 1 media type in the paper-handling menu. If you do not do anything during the time-out period (about one minute), the printer will print on the media in tray 1.
UNABLE TO MOPY JOB	Memory or file system failures would not allow a mopy job to occur. Only one copy will be produced.	1. Reseat RAM DIMMs and/or the EIO hard disk. 2. Install additional memory or an EIO hard disk.
UNABLE TO STORE JOB	Memory or file system failures would not allow the print to store the job.	1. Reseat RAM DIMMs and/or the EIO hard disk. 2. Install additional memory or an EIO hard disk.
UNSUPPORTED SIZE IN TRAY [yy]	An external paper-handling device detected an unsupported media size. The printer will go offline until the condition is corrected.	Verify the media meets the supported size specifications
USE [TYPE] [SIZE] INSTEAD?	If the requested media size or type is not loaded, the printer asks if it should use another size or type instead.	1. Press -VALUE+ to scroll through the available types and sizes. 2. Press SELECT to accept the alternate type or size.

 

Quick Remove Hyperlinks From Microsoft Word Documents

On many occasions you might need to extract some articles from web pages, emails and other sources into the Word documents for reference or other purposes. When you copy and paste the articles or paragraphs into the word documents, you will notice that the hyperlinks attached to some words or sentences will be copied and pasted to the word documents as well. These hyperlinks are web links, internal links within the same document or email addresses. Some of these hyperlinks might not be valid or may direct you to irrelevant websites.

If the references to these hyperlinks are not so critical or necessary and you would rather remove them and have plain text, of course you can right click to the hyperlinks and select “Remove Hyperlink” to delete the links one by one. This can be rather time consuming and tedious if your copied texts are substantial in length or have a lot of hyperlinks. If you have encountered this problem, a quick way to remove all hyperlinks within a document is by highlighting the documents and pressing Ctrl-Shift-F9. By pressing these three keys, the hyperlinks will be removed instantly.

Similarly when you type or paste a URL into a word document, you will also notice the URL be automatically converted into a hyperlink. You can right click to delete the hyperlink by clicking on the “Remove Hyperlink” icon or pressing Ctrl-Shift-F9 to clean all the hyperlinks once you have finished the document. Having said that, instead of removing the hyperlinks once you are done, you can actually change the default setting so that when you type a web site or URL, it will not automatically turn this into a hyperlink. To change the setting, you can refer to the following guideline:

In Microsoft Office Word 2007, follow these steps:

• Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then select Word Options.
• Click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options.
• On the AutoFormat as you type tab and on the AutoFormat tab, click to clear the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box, and then click OK.
• Click OK to close the Word Options dialog box.

In Microsoft Office Word 2003 and in Microsoft Word 2002, follow these steps:

• On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
• On the AutoFormat as you type tab and on the AutoFormat tab, click to clear the Internet and network paths with hyperlinks check box.
• Click OK.

Set Optimum Screen Resolution for PowerPoint Presentation

Users who need to do a lot of presentations have probably faced these embarrassing situations: the projection result is unacceptable or the slideshow is too blurred or the slideshow is extremely slow. This happens when presenters try to connect their laptop to the venue’s projectors and is a result of resolution compatibility issues. For instance, sometimes the PowerPoint slideshow’s resolution setting and the projector’s resolution setting is different. Thus, the incoming slideshow images will automatically be stretched to match the projector’s resolution and the result will be blurred.

In fact many users generally do not know that Microsoft PowerPoint allows users to adjust the slideshow resolution to be aligned with the projector’s resolution. Presenters can adjust their slideshow’s resolution instead of using the default screen resolution for better effect. Users can choose smaller resolutions for higher speed or larger resolutions to show more visual detail. To set the PowerPoint slideshow’s resolution, users just need to go to the Slideshow Tab and look for the “Resolution” item. Users can click and choose their preferred resolution on the dropdown menu as shown in the photo below:
