Autonomous printer operation - what is it?

When using a personal printer, from time to time you may encounter a situation where it stops working due to the fact that it has gone offline. Let's look at what this mode is and what are the reasons for switching to it. 

The printer is working offline - what does this mean?

If the peripheral device has stopped printing, and in the status you see an error message with the following content: The printer is offline, therefore, it is worth figuring out what it is. For many, it is not at all clear what offline operation means and how to make the printer print again. This situation is not pleasant, but it is not difficult to cope with. 

When offline status is activated, signal transmission is suspended and the printer loses communication with the PC. In this case, the device does not turn off, its other functions continue to work. It is also worth noting that arrangeThe system operates autonomously as a result of your mistakes. For exampleRU, Do you often leave it on for a long time or does it dis in sleep mode for a long time, inept operation will also lead to work stoppage. If many mistakes are made, the printer will also not be able to function fully. 

Reasons for going offline

There are a number of reasons why a peripheral device goes into autonomous status, let's consider them: 

• USB cable or the network cable has come loose or is not working correctly. 
• Problems with paper feeding, jams, lack of paper. 
• You yourself switched the device to this mode. 
• The cartridges are out of ink. 
• Somehow the printing process was interrupted or paused. 
• The driver is damaged or is no longer relevant. 

Getting your device out of sleep mode is quite simple; you just need to understand how this process happens once and you won’t have any problems with it in the future. To put the peripheral device into normal operating status, you need to perform the following steps to eliminate the reason for going offline: 

1. Start by checking the cords to ensure they are working properly and making sure they are connected correctly. If you find physical damage, replace the cable. 
2. It is possible that the problem lies with the paper sensor. Try removing all the paper from the tray and putting it back. There may be pieces of paper, paper clips or staples left inside the device; they must be removed, otherwise there is a high risk of the printer breaking. 
3. If you have done the steps described above, but the mode still does not turn off. In this case, try working through the settings. Go to the Start menu, then go to category, category where peripherals are displayed and find your work printer. Check its status and correct it if necessary. 

These are the simplest steps to exit offline status and the most common.

REFERENCE. As you can see, the printer is designed in such a way as to warn the user of a malfunction or danger of damage, for example, if some foreign object is stuck in it, which can disrupt its overall functioning.
