Typographical errors. Typographical error

One of the typical situations - the document is prepared, the printer works, but does not want to print the document. After several attempts to send, the user pays attention to a notification in the corner: "The document could not be printed." Checking the printer does not work - there is paper in the tray, but the printer stubbornly does not print. Sometimes he starts spitting clean sheets or sheets covered with blots.

What will be discussed:

Checking connections

The printing error in many cases is a printer selection error. If a user buys a cheap printer, he must be prepared for the fact that at some point it will refuse to work. For work, you need to choose an average model in terms of price indicators. If you need to work a lot with papers, the best option would be to work with an MFP.

If printing was performed before the breakdown, and the printer worked without failures, we check the network connection and try to restart the device with the power button.

We check the outlet to which the printer was connected - for this we connect any portable device to it.

We look at the printer-computer connection with a network cord. To do this, remove the cord from the groove and insert it again.

We check the paper tray - if there is not much paper, put sheets into the tray. There is a lot of paper in the tray - we take out a part and try to put it back. Trying to restart the printer. Additionally, restart the computer. If all else fails, we try to figure out why the printer does not print and gives an error.

The first thing to check if the panel displays a print error message is that the correct printer is selected.

To do this, you must perform the following steps:

  • Go to the Control Panel and go to "Devices and Printers". The window will display a list of connected printers and devices.
  • We select our device - we check the status of the printer, it should be "Connected".
  • Place the mouse cursor on the printer icon, press the right key. In the drop-down context menu, select "Set as default". A green checkmark should appear next to the printer. An idle printer is displayed in the Devices and Printers panel with a faded, discolored icon. This indicates that the computer does not see the printer. There can be several reasons: the printer is disconnected from the power source; driver problem.

In order not to do unnecessary actions, we try to restart the Print Manager again and perform the following steps:

  • We go along the path - Start - Control Panel - System and Security - Administrative Tools - Services.
  • We define the drop-down tab "Name" and find "Print Manager".
  • Select the "Automatic" property.
  • To fix the state, let's try to restart the Dispatcher. To do this, place the cursor on the line "Dispatcher" in the "Name" tab. In the drop-down window, select the "Automatic" option and save the settings.
  • In order to check the operation of the Dispatcher, click "Restart the service".
  • If you are sending a large number of print requests to the printer, try clearing the Print Queue and restarting the printer.

Checking the printer properties

Open the tab "Devices" - "Printers and Faxes". By clicking the right mouse button, open the "Properties" drop-down window, find the "Data Exchange" option. Click "Disable". After the action, we try to restart the printer.

Additional option. We find the printer icon, make two mouse clicks and check the status of the device. If the drop-down value is "Work Offline", the setting should be changed.

For the action, go along the path Start - Control Panel - Devices and Printers. We select the printer, in the drop-down menu we remove the property "Work offline". Additionally, click "Clear Print Queue". After that, restart the printer.

Checking the wires

A possible variant of the printing error is a network wire error. When buying a printer, a standard network cable is used, the transmission speed of which is low. A situation may arise when the speed of transferring a document between devices can reach an hour - a standard wire has a low transfer rate. If such a problem is present, then the printer in very many cases prints yesterday's document after starting the computer. To improve printing, you should purchase a wire that has ferrite rings. This will save you from the situation when a large number of documents are sent for printing, they remain in the print queue.

Shielded wire is more reliable, lasts longer and runs faster - about 4 times faster than standard wire.

If this did not allow you to print what you need, you should rewrite the printer drivers.

Reinstalling the driver

One of the possible reasons why the printer does not want to print may be the absence or failure of the printing program - the printer driver. You can check this by going along the path: Start - Control Panel - Devices and Printers. We look at the printer icon - if it glows brightly, and a green icon is visible next to it, the driver is in order. If not, you should uninstall the printer driver and write it again.

To reinstall the program, you need to use the boot disk that came with the printer when you purchased it. If there is no disk, we are looking for a driver, it is advisable to download it from the official website of the manufacturer.

Other printing errors

What should I do if the printer does not print and says "Error"? In some cases, printing errors occur due to inconsistencies in programs for editing text documents. You can try to reinstall the Microsoft Word package and prevent errors when printing documents.

In some cases, printing errors are caused by the need to replace cartridges - new cartridge models have a replacement chip that blocks printing when there is a small amount of powder in a laser printer or ink in an inkjet.

Typographical errors are found in the work of many copywriters - both beginners and quite experienced ones. Having studied the basics of SEO rewriting and getting used to stuffing the text with keywords in the order the customer needs, the “authors” begin to be indifferent to numerous errors, as they believe that all texts on the Internet are intended only for search engines. However, this is fundamentally not true. Not a single owner of a site for people will allow himself to place articles with errors and typos on his resource. On a high-quality project, a separate specialist checks the texts before placement. And if the webmaster deals with the site alone, then he does the proofreading of articles before publishing them on his own.

Errors and typos in the article are extra time that will be spent by the site owner on their correction. That is why customers prefer authors who are able to write articles that do not require even the slightest edits, and some article exchanges even remove texts from sale that contain many typographical errors.

What are typographical errors

Typographical errors are violations of the rules by which printed text is formatted. Like any other type of error in text, they take time to correct, so if it is important for you to have regular customers who will be satisfied with your work, try to avoid them in your work.

Typographical errors in the header

All headings and subheadings in an article must begin with a capital letter. A period should not be placed after the title, but question and exclamation marks are allowed. However, putting two or three questions or exclamation marks in a row is prohibited. So, the subtitle “How to promote the site after all ???” will be wrong.

Another common mistake is typing the entire title in capital letters. This not only looks very ugly, but it can also be perceived by search robots as spam. In addition, such typing has long been considered bad form.

Typographical errors in spaces and punctuation

A space must be placed after each punctuation mark. However, the initials of the name and patronymic next to the surname are not separated by a space. There are also a number of other exceptions. There is no space between the closing bracket and the last letter of the word in brackets. After the bracket is closed, a dot is placed, but there is also no space between the bracket and the dot. Exactly the same rule applies to quotation marks.

What is the difference between a hyphen and a dash

A hyphen is a spelling mark that is placed between parts of a word, for example, before the particles either, or, or. A dash is a punctuation mark used to connect words in a sentence. The hyphen is written together with the words, spaces are placed before and after the dash. Years are marked with dashes without spaces.

On the keyboard, the same key is used to denote both a hyphen and a dash, when pressed, a hyphen appears in a Word document, deforming in a dash after a new word is written and separated by a space after it.

Hello. I tell you what to do with the text before publication, so that later you will not be ashamed in front of the client and readers.

1. Remove excess

Ask a question for each paragraph and sentence: “If I remove this, will the text get worse? Will it be less clear or interesting? If it doesn't, feel free to delete it.

Some authors take it painfully: “I wrote, wasted time, and now delete? No!” Don't cling to too much. At the editing stage, I can delete 30-50% of the text: paragraphs, lists and entire sections. This is fine.

7. Compress images

Images are often the heaviest piece of content. They make the page load slower, which is bad for both SEO and UX. Therefore, they must be compressed - to reduce the quality and "weight".

I run all images through TinyPNG - it compresses them by 30-80%. If I make an illustration in Photoshop, I immediately save it with a quality of 60–70% of the maximum.

8. Write Title and Description

Some authors think that this is the work of a SEO. I disagree. This is the text that people see: in search results, in social networks, in instant messengers. The title and description help to understand whether it will be interesting, whether it is worth reading.

You can't pass on such important things to others. This is part of the author's work.

1. Don't use fancy fonts

If you do not have enough experience and knowledge, do not even try to use unusual, intricate fonts. Be simple.

2. Forget Comic Sans

Imagine that you have never seen him at all.

3. Don't Avoid Standard, Default Fonts

Seriously, if someone tells you standard fonts are boring, they just don't understand typography. How the font will look depends on how it is typed. Times New Roman can look really cool. And most importantly: let the text be boring rather than ugly or unreadable.

Mixing Fonts

4. Do not use more than two fonts at the same time

Experimenting with a large number of fonts at the initial stage is not worth it. Two is enough. You don't want to turn the text into all sorts of nonsense, do you?

5. Mix Only Contrasting Fonts

Grotesque with serif typeface, cursive with Art Nouveau. It is important to maintain contrast. Two similar fonts side by side look sloppy.

6. Choose fonts with uniform letter heights

The height of lowercase letters without extensions is the distance from the base to the top line of the font, in other words, the value of the lowercase point. When choosing fonts that you want to use together, you need to make sure that the height of their lowercase letters is the same. This will help maintain the same level of paragraph saturation. In addition, such text will be easier to read.

We type text

7. Font size

Text size on the web should not be less than 13 pixels. In my opinion, the best choice is between 14-18 px. Not too big and at the same time readable.

8. Choose the right line length

Do not believe the talk that the correct line length can be obtained by multiplying the font size by two. This is bullshit. Just try to keep the line length between 45-75 characters. GOST for printed publications recommends a length of 60 characters, but this, of course, is an elusive ideal on the web. And yet it is worth striving for. Determine by eye if the string is too long or too short.

9. Leading must match the font size

To achieve a balance between text and “air”, make the line spacing about one and a half times the height of lowercase letters. There is another simpler way: set the leading equal to 125% of the font size.

Paragraph

10. Align Left

If you're not sure which justification to choose, choose left justification: the Right and Justified options on the web rarely pay off. There is nothing wrong with a jagged edge. Text turned off to the left is easier to read, as the eye sees a clear visual ending to each line. But in Russian, such text is convenient to read if the line is not too long. So if your string is longer than 60 characters, try the split set. Just remember to hyphenate and check if everything looks good: several hyphens in a row will definitely make reading difficult.

11. Avoid too many transfers

In general, web wrapping should be avoided whenever possible. Try wrapping the word on a new line, or slightly change the letter spacing. If there are too many hyphens, change the font size or spaces. And when turning off to the left, do not use word wrap at all.

12. No padding

Do not indent the first paragraph from the heading. If you are indenting paragraphs with a blank line, do not use paragraph indents. It's redundant and tasteless. On the other hand, the text without indents and spacing will be more difficult to perceive. In general, choose one of the ways: either a red line, or a spacer - and use it throughout the text.

13. Narrow column

If you need to type in a small column of text, try using a narrow font. This will not only make the text look better, but it will also be easier to read, since more characters will fit in the line.

14. Hanging punctuation

Quotes, brackets, hyphens, periods, commas should be placed outside the dialing line. This always looks elegant and helps keep the paragraph in the right shape.

15. "Widows" and "orphans"

We are talking about hanging lines. "Widow" is one word on a whole line at the end of a paragraph, or a very short line at the end of a text or page. An "orphan" is an orphan that ends up at the beginning of a new page or column. They must be avoided. Try reducing the letter spacing, break the line, or adjust the font size - in general, do not let the "widows" and "orphans" get into your text.

16. Don't overuse spaces

To start a new line, press Shift+Enter. Press Enter to start a new paragraph. It's that simple.

Words

17. Kerning

If you're an inexperienced designer and don't have a keen eye for the smallest details, don't manually core text.

18. Tracking

Remember: when you increase the font size, the spacing between characters also increases. Therefore, if you set a large heading in the text, we advise you to proportionally adjust the distance between characters and words.

19. Emphasis in text

You can highlight an important thought or word that you need to pay attention to in a variety of ways. Don't overdo them. It is not necessary to highlight the whole sentence in capital letters alone - a beginner cannot always do this in a proper way. Just use bold font style.

20. Lowercase without spacing

Do not increase line spacing. The reason is simple: readability is reduced.

21. Uppercase with space

Increase the space between capital letters. In this case, readability increases. Increasing letter space by 10% usually works well.

22. Don't capitalize everything

Don't overuse capitalization. The length of such a set should not exceed one line.

23. Don't use capitals unnecessarily

If the font doesn't include a special small cap, don't use it at all.

Letters

24. Don't change the width of the letters

Just don't do it. Please.
