Themicropiezoelectricinkjetsystemisequippedwithatransduceronthenozzlecontainingink,andthetransduceriscontrolledbytheprintingsignaltocontroltheejectionoftheink.Accordingtotheworkingprincipleandarrangementstructureofthemicropiezoelectricinkjetsystemtransducer,itcanbedividedintoseveraltypes:piezoelectrictubetype,piezoelectricfilmtype,piezoelectricsheettypeandsoon.

Troubleshooting

Generally,twoormoresheetsofpaperarefedatatime,causingtheprintertostopeatingnormallyandstop.
Thisproblemisgenerallycausedbytworeasons.Oneisthedampnessofthepaper.Thisproblemisbettersolvedbybakingthepaperandputtingitontheradiatororthemonitor,butitmustnottaketime.Toolong.Second,mostofthepaperboughtbackfromthestoreisjusttakenoutofthebox,andittakesalongtimetosqueezetoformawhole,whichispronetothisphenomenon.Thesolutionistoholdthetwoendsofthepaperwithbothhandsandrubitbackandforthbeforeloadingitintotheprinter,sothateachpieceofpaperismoved,sothatoneendofthepaperformsaneatinclinedsurface,sothattheinclinedsurfaceisplaceddownintothepapertraysothatitwillnotThestickypaperphenomenonoccursagain.
Paperjamissues
Manytimes,paperjamsarecausedbyimproperuse.Afterapaperjamoccurs,firstturnofftheprinterpower,andthendecidewhethertowithdrawthepaperfromtheoutsideorfromtheinsideaccordingtothepaperjam.Atthistime,beespeciallycarefultopreventthepaperfrombeingleftinsidetheprinter.
Usuallyinordertoavoidprinterpaperjams,youneedtopayattentiontothefollowingaspects:Beforeprinting,itisbesttocheckwhethertheprinterpanelorpaperfeedslotisequippedwitha"PaperSizeSelector"switch,Ifavailable,chooseA4orLetteraccordingtothemediasizeused,sothatthepaperisnoteasytoskewandcausepaperjamswhenentering;thethicknessofthepapershouldnotbetoothinortoothick;whenaddingpapertothepaperfeedslot,besuretofirstTakeouttheoriginalpaper,tidyitupwiththenewlyaddedpaper,andputitbackintothepaperfeedslot.Thiscanpreventtheprinterfromdrawingmultiplesheetsofpaperatatimeandcausingpaperjamswhenprinting;whetherthepaperisscatteredwhenaddingpaperAfterputtingitintothepaperslot,thismethodistopreventthepaperfromstickingtogetherduetomoistureorotherfactors,causingmultiplesheetstobeentangledandjammedwhenthepaperisfed.
Theproblemofnopaperfeeding
Generally,thepapercan’tfeedthepaperbyjusthearingtherustlingofthepaperfeedwheel,causingthecomputertoprompttheprintertobeoutofpaperandstopprinting.Ibelievethatmanyusershaveencounteredsuchproblems.Ialsoencounteredthisphenomenon.
