                            Why is My Printer Offline?

Even with today’s development in technology, system and printer problems are still a repeat occurrence for some people. When you’re managing a business, there is nothing worse than collecting a message telling you that your printer is offline and not significant enough to fix it.

In this blog post, we’ve reported the possible reasons why you’ve got an offline printer, and how you can fix it.

Offline printers can’t be linked with your system

If your printer is displayed an offline message, it means it’s having a hard time linked with your system. There can be several reasons for this, from connectivity problems to rap with your printer. Whatever the reason, there are several checks you can do to control which problem you’re facing.

Check your printer and system connection

The first port of call is to double-check your printer’s linked with your system. You should look at the network cable linked to your printer to your path, and check the USB cable connecting your printer to your system or laptop. If all of these connections focus to be working, try moving your cables to different ports.

If you have a wireless printer, checking the connection can be rather risky. Therefore, on a wireless model such as the Epson WF-3540DTWF, you should type the ‘set-up’ mode on your printer. Choose the ‘Printer offline network settings’ function and click ‘confirm network settings’. This will display you the current rank of your network setting. You can then print a rank sheet to give you a brief breakdown of your connection, by simply clicking ' start’.

Testing restarting your printer

If your connection is working but your printer is disconnected, you can test restarting your printer. This can reboot your model and can occasionally assist your printer to make the connection.

Clear the print jobs

Still, question yourself why is my printer offline? Fine, one file could have created your printer to go offline. To action, this, test clearing all your print jobs by clicking ‘cancel all documents’. This will clear the printing rows and permit you to restart your model.

Delete and reinstall your printer

Another way you can fix an offline printer is to delete the printer from your system or laptop and reinstall it. To delete your printer, directly open the ‘devices and printers’ in your system control panel. Right, click the model you’d like to delete and select ‘remove’.

You now want to reinstall your printer to your system. This normally involves simply linking your printer to your system with a USB, and turning it on. But, if you’re reinstalling a wireless printer, you should first ensure your printer is turned on. Open up your system settings, snap ‘change PC settings, open ‘PC and devices then select ‘devices’.

snap ‘add a device’ and then directly select your printer model to install it.

Following these ways should permit you to fix any offline printer. If you have any other problems with offline printing, also get in touch with the creator of your printer, or contact one of our in-house experts.
