HP OfficeJet 6310 all-in-one printer hidden functions

noreply@blogger.com (Niroshana) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 02:41:00 +0000

Recently one of the HP 6310 printer had a problem and I had to call up HP Support to get it solved.

In doing this I got to learn some new functions that can be used in this printer.

1. Reset the printer settings
Unplug the printer from power. And then wait for about 1 min for the power to be totally drained out of the printer. And then press and hold onto # and 3 buttons on the number pad on the printer and then plug in the power cable while keep on pressing the # and 3 buttons. Now wait till a message comes up on the printer display. Normally this will come up with Language selection.

2. Service Menu
While the printer is fully powered on and it is in standby mode. press * and # button together. This will show a message on the display of the printer similar to this "********########" . once you get this message key in the following number in sequence using the number pad 329. Once you done that a message will come on the display saying "Service" and a number. Now using the arrow buttons you can browse trough all the available menu options.

Hope this will help people who want to do troubleshooting on there printer.

Function Keys not working on Logitech Cordless 1500 Rechargeable Desktop Keyboard

noreply@blogger.com (Niroshana) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:02:00 +0000

I have few Vista computers that use Logitech Cordless 1500 Rechargeable Desktop Keyboard & Mouse pack. Some of them is having a problem of the Keyboard function keys not working. After doing lot of testing and research I found that this is caused by Registry problem.

Function keys light on the receiver is on up to the point where you have to log on to the OS. And once windows load up everything the light get turn off.

This is cause by the Logitech SetPoint program thinking that there is a Function key on/off button is physically in the Keyboard ( But there is no button for this keyboard).

To make this work properly do the following. ( O/S : Vista )

1. Open up regedit by going to Search in the Start Menu and typing regedit on it.
2. Now browse to the following location in regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER> SOFTWARE> LOGITECH> KHAL
3. Check to see if the value of FMode
4. If it is 0. Double click onit and Change the value to 1
5. Now Restart your computer.

Now the problem of Function keys will be fixed

Microsoft Office Outlook 2007

noreply@blogger.com (Niroshana) — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:37:00 +0000

I recently implemented Microsoft office 2007 at my work place. And once I install on client computers and then get them log on from there user name and try to create there account on Outlook it crashes. After many attempts I found the following solution for it.

The problem : After inputing user email details and then Outlook show to input User name for for the profile. But it get hidden in few seconds with out giving the time to input the name. And when I try to close Outlook it want close. I actually had to end the process of outlook to close it.

Cause: I think this cause by other programs like security programs who are trying to install spam add ins.

Solution:
1. The best way to avoid this is to actually close outlook (You might have to end process using task manager ( Keyboard shortcut : CTRL + SHIFT + ESC))

2. Now open another office program like word or excel. Once you open this it will ask you to enter the user name and also other privacy details.

3. Once you have done that you can open outlook and then it will start to function normally.

GOOD BYE......! MASTER BLASTER.....!

noreply@blogger.com (Niroshana) — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 02:37:00 +0000

When the name Sanath Jayasuriya come's into mind every one know it is no other than the Sri Lankan cricket Hero....

Many knows him as Master Blaster....! ( From the words of Tony Greg) The black Superman....! He was our hero. The person who was so humble in his normal life and when it time to batting he becomes one of the most feared batsman in the world, in any type of the cricket. I still remember the days he revolutionized one day cricket and showed the path to the Sri Lankan cricket team to win the 1996 World Cup. And then he went to make the fastest 50 and 100 in one day cricket and then he showed us how much of class he has by scoring 340 runs in an innings playing against India in a test match.

If Sanath scores well we are sure that most of the time our team will win the match. He was that much of a influence in to the team. And he was not just a batsman he was wonderful all rounder.

As he say good bye to test cricket, I would like to say that there will be no one like him in the whole world he is unique, his presence in test match will surely be missed by his team mates and by the cricket loving fans all around the world....! We are going to miss you Sanath....! And thanks for all the things you have done to Sri Lankan cricket....!

Some links that you should check out....!

Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit

noreply@blogger.com (Niroshana) — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 21:05:00 +0000

I have installed Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit version in my computer few weeks ago. This is my finding for the moment of the Microsoft so called New operating system.

Graphics

Very good graphics features with the new windows Aero function it provide a nice overlook to the whole desktop. Once you put on the 3D window swapping mode it look fantastic. And also in there previews they have mention about a product called DreamScene which will allow users to put video as wallpapers and also animated wallpapers. Well it is sad to say that this part of the software is still under trial mode. They took 5 years to develop the operating system but up to now still have not published the final version of the DreamScene.

BARE IN MIND IF YOU NEED TO GET ALL THE GRAPHICS FEATURES TO WORK YOU NEED TO HAVE A GOOD GRAPHIC CARD. I HAVE A NVIDIA 6600 GT WITH 256MB OF RAM BUT IT STILL GIVE YOU SOME ERRORS.

Security

Well Microsoft is so hyped to say that the new operating system have a good security system. Well in away they have archived a very annoying security feature which keep on prompting every time you try to run a software. For example if you got firfox running in Vista then it will keep on asking for permission to run the software.

You have to always installed a Anti virus software. Because Vista dose not come with one. And if you have installed a 64bit version like me then you will only have few options to choose which software to run. My personal recommendation is Kaspersky Internet Security which use only little bit of your system memory.

User friendliness

Vista has improved fairly in this department. And for a first time user it is quite simple to function around windows vista to do simple task. Most of the programs are categorized into it own folders. And when you need to organized you own collection of photos, music files or any other sort of files it is quite easy using Windows Vista.

Recommended system configuration

Intel Pentium dual core processor
2Gb of memory
40Gb of Hard disk space
DVD rom drive
A very good VGA card ( example: atleast Nvidia 6600 GT or better)
