Computer repair printer service solutions. Questions received from clients concerning their computer problems, copier maintenance, networking help and other printer fax service.

Q: Between laptop and notebook, which of the two computers comes with the greatest amount and secondary storage?

A: This is a common question that is a bit confusing to many people. It depends on what you are calling a notebook verses a laptop. If you are referring to the ultra thing notebooks, ipads or very small notebooks that do not use a hard drive to store information then they hold less than regular larger units.

Your computer has two types of storage: temporary memory (RAM) and storage memory.  The storage memory can be in a form of a hard drive, flashcard, USB drive, CD, DVD or other memory card.

Most laptops except for the very thin ones or very small devices have a hard drive as storage. If the notebooks you are comparing use a hard drive then they both can house as much as the other.

Check the actual drive storage amount 160Gb, 250gb, 300gb, etc.

RAM, temp memory is usually 1gb, 2gb, 3gb or 4gb.

Q: Printer Copier repair problem: Is printer copier maintenance need and what goes bad if not done on a regular basis?

A: Your Copier, printer, scanner and fax equipment are just like your car: they need regular maintenance to prevent premature repairs.  Dirt, paper fiber and toner builds up in the machine can cause excessive wear on the drums, rollers and fuser assembly.

The average fuser assembly repair on a HP printer is $277. On a Ricoh, Sharp, and Canon copiers it’s $465 (average). Some brands and models are much higher.. Drums and developer units on copier printers are just as expensive. Fusers and drums are designed to last 20K, 5K, 120k or more (Kyocera 250K) pages between replacements. However if your machine is not properly maintained their life is greatly reduced.

Even toner cartridges on printers will have shorter lives if you do not get regular maintenance.  Ask Advanced Business Computers the printer copier maintenance steps needed to prevent repair problems. Just like a car tune-up, your copier printer scanner needs regular service maintenance to prolong the life of the printer copier and to prevent expensive printer repairs.
