Printing Problems - HP omnibook OBXT1500 Reference Manual

Hint
• Heavy modem use can affect battery operating time.
• PC Card use can affect battery operating time.
• The battery gauge may need to be calibrated. Restart the notebook, press F6 when the
HP logo appears, and follow the instructions that appear onscreen. The process
calibrates the battery, and requires four to five hours. You cannot use the notebook
during this process.
If the Time Remaining for the battery seems incorrect
• The Time Remaining is an estimate based on the rate at which the notebook is using
power at that instant. So, if you check the Time Remaining while the notebook is
using a good deal of power (such as when reading from a CD or DVD), the value will
likely show less time remaining than you really have, since you will probably later
switch to tasks that require less power.
If the notebook doesn't go on standby as expected
• If you have a connection to another computer, the notebook won't go on standby if
the connection is active.
• If the notebook is performing an operation, it normally waits for the operation to
finish before going on standby.
If the notebook doesn't automatically hibernate as expected
• Make sure hibernate support is enabled: click Start, Control Panel, Performance and
Maintenance, Power Options, then click the Hibernate tab.
Also, check the Power Schemes tab. Make sure the hibernation timeouts for AC
power and battery power are not set to Never.

Printing problems

You can solve most printing problems by using the printing troubleshooter in Windows
Help and Support.
If a printer doesn't print
• Make sure the printer is on and has paper in it.
• Make sure you are using the correct printer cable or cable adapter, and that the cable
is secure at both ends.
• Check for printer errors.
