Amathiphu Okukhetha Idivayisi Yokuphrinta Okunomthamo Ophansi
Emabhizinisini amaningi amancane, izidingo zokuphrinta ziyavamiseka kodwa zibalulekile: ama-invoyisi, amalebula okuthumela, izinto zokuphromotha ezilula, amadokhumenti okuphatha, noma imisebenzi yasekhaya. Ukuphrinta okunomthamo ophansi kubhekisela esimweni lapho umthamo wokuphrinta uncane—isibonelo, amashumi kuya kwamakhulu amakhasi ngenyanga—kodwa kusadinga imiphumela emihle, izindleko ezifanele, kanye nemishini engenazinkinga. Ukukhetha imishini efanele kuzokusiza ugweme izindleko ezifihliwe njengokuntuleka kweyinki, ukulungiswa okunzima, noma ukuphrinta okungaphansi kwekhwalithi. Lesi sihloko sixoxa ngamathiphu asebenzayo okukhetha iphrinta yezidingo ezinomthamo ophansi ukuze uthole inhlanganisela engcono kakhulu yekhwalithi, ukusebenza kahle, kanye nokulula.
1. Qonda amaphethini okusetshenziswa kanye nezinhlobo zemibhalo evame ukunyatheliswa.
Isinyathelo sokuqala ukuthola izidingo zakho. Ingabe uvame ukuphrinta umbhalo omnyama nomhlophe, njengemibhalo yehhovisi? Noma ingabe uvame ukuphrinta izithombe ezinemibala, njengezincwajana ezilula, amaphosta amancane, noma imibiko enezithombe? Futhi, cabanga ngosayizi wephepha owusebenzisayo: A4, F4, noma ukuphrinta njalo amalebula anosayizi owenziwe ngokwezifiso. Lezi zidingo zizonquma uhlobo lwephrinta olufanele kakhulu.
Ngokuphrinta okunombhalo ophansi, osebenzisa umbhalo omningi, iphrinta ye-laser enombala owodwa ivame ukuba yisinqumo esisebenzayo. Ngokuphrinta ngombala ngezikhathi ezithile, iphrinta ye-inkjet noma yethangi le-ink ingaba nezimo eziguquguqukayo—ikakhulukazi uma udinga ikhwalithi yesithombe engcono. Amaphethini okusebenzisa nawo athinta izindleko zokulungisa: amaphrinta e-inkjet avamile ngezinye izikhathi athambekele ekomeni kwe-ink uma esetshenziswa njalo, kuyilapho amaphrinta e-laser ngokuvamile ezinze kakhulu ekusetshenzisweni okungavami njalo.
2. Qhathanisa ubuchwepheshe: i-inkjet, ithangi le-ink, kanye ne-laser
Kunezinhlobo ezintathu ezijwayelekile ezivame ukukhethwa ngenxa yezidingo eziphansi:
Ama-cartridge e-inkjet: Ngokuvamile, anikeza intengo yokuqala engabizi kakhulu, usayizi omncane, kanye nokuphrinta okuhle kombala. Kodwa-ke, izindleko ngekhasi ngalinye zingaba phezulu uma ama-cartridge ephela ngokushesha. Afanele abasebenzisi basekhaya abaphrinta inani elincane futhi abakhathazeki ngokushintsha ama-cartridge ngezikhathi ezithile.
Ithangi likayinki: Amaphrinta ngokuvamile abiza kakhulu kune-inkjet cartridges, kodwa ukugcwalisa kabusha kushibhile kakhulu ngekhasi ngalinye. Kufanelekela labo abanevolumu yokuphrinta ephansi kuya ephakathi abafuna izindleko eziphansi zikayinki kanye nokugcwalisa kabusha okungavamile. Qaphela: Uma iphrinta ingasetshenziswa njalo, qhubeka uphrinta njalo ukuze uvimbele ukuthi uyinki ingomi ekhanda.
I-Laser: Ilungele umbhalo obukhali kanye nesivinini sokuphrinta esihambisanayo. I-Toner ivame ukuhlala isikhathi eside, ayomi, futhi inezinkinga ezimbalwa ngokusetshenziswa okungajwayelekile. Ama-laser e-monochrome alungele ukuphrinta amadokhumenti amnyama namhlophe kusukela kumthamo ophansi kuya ophakathi. Ama-laser anombala abiza kakhulu kusengaphambili, futhi izindleko ze-toner zingaba phezulu, ngakho-ke cabanga ngalokhu uma udinga umbala ngempela.
3. Bala izindleko eziphelele zobunikazi (Izindleko Eziphelele Zobunikazi)
Iphutha elivamile lapho uthenga iphrinta ukugxila kuphela entengo yedivayisi. Kodwa-ke, izinto ezisetshenziswayo zivame ukubiza kakhulu kunephrinta uqobo: uyinki/ithoni, isigubhu, ikhanda, noma ikhithi yokulungisa. Kumaphrinta anevolumu ephansi, udinga ukubala ukuthi izindleko ngekhasi ngalinye ziyafaneleka yini nokuthi ukhululekile yini ngemvamisa yokushintsha.
Sicela uqaphele okulandelayo:
– Intengo ye-inki/i-toner yokugcwalisa kabusha noma ikhatriji yokushintsha.
– Inzuzo elinganisiwe (inani lamakhasi) ngokusekelwe ezindinganisweni zomkhiqizi.
– Izindleko zezinye izingxenye (isigubhu/ukulungiswa) uma zikhona.
- Ukutholakala kwezinto ezisetshenziswayo ezitolo zasendaweni kanye nasezitolo eziku-inthanethi.
Ngezinye izikhathi amaphrinta angabizi anezinqola ezibizayo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, iphrinta yethangi le-inki ebiza kakhulu ingaba engabizi kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ikakhulukazi uma uqala ukuphrinta kaningi kunalokho obekulindelekile.
4. Lungisa izidingo zekhwalithi: umbhalo, izithombe, noma imiklamo enemibala
Ngokuphrinta okunomthamo ophansi, ikhwalithi ivame ukuba yinto eza kuqala kunesivinini. Uma uphrinta amadokhumenti asemthethweni, naka ukucaca kombhalo (i-DPI kanye nekhwalithi yefonti). Uma uphrinta izithombe, cabanga ngokukopisha umbala, ukwesekwa kwephepha lesithombe, kanye nezinketho zokuphrinta ezingenamingcele.
Kodwa kubalulekile futhi ukuba ngokoqobo: uma uphrinta izithombe ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela, kungaba ngcono kakhulu ukuba nezithombe ezisezingeni eliphezulu eziphrintiwe enkampanini yokunyathelisa yobungcweti, kuyilapho ugxila iphrinta yakho yasekhaya kumadokhumenti avamile. Leli cebo livame ukugcina izindleko ziphansi futhi ligwema ukukhungatheka kokuphatha imibala nezinhlobo zephepha.
5. Cabanga ngezici zemisebenzi eminingi (ukuphrinta–ukuskena–ukukopisha)
Kubasebenzisi basekhaya namabhizinisi amancane, idivayisi esebenza ndawonye ivame ukuba wusizo kakhulu. Ungaskena amadokhumenti, ukopishe amakhadi omazisi, noma uthumele amafayela edijithali ngaphandle kokudinga isikena esihlukile. Uma uvame ukuskena amakhasi amaningi, cabanga nge-ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) ukuze uskena/ukopishe ngokushesha. Kodwa-ke, uma uskena njalo, ungakhetha imodeli elula yokugcina izindleko ziphansi.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, hlola ikhwalithi yesikena: isixazululo sokubona, isivinini sokuskena, kanye nokuhambisana kwesofthiwe. Ngezinjongo zokuphatha, izici zokuskena zibe yi-PDF kanye ne-OCR (uma zikhona) zingaba usizo kakhulu.
6. Khetha uxhumano olufanele: i-USB, i-Wi‑Fi, noma i-Ethernet
Ivolumu ephansi ivame kakhulu ezindaweni zasekhaya noma ehhovisi elincane ezinamadivayisi amaningi: ama-laptop, amafoni, namathebulethi. Ngakho-ke, i-Wi-Fi iyinzuzo enkulu. Nge-Wi-Fi, ungaphrinta kusuka efonini yakho ngaphandle kwentambo. Qiniseka ukuthi iphrinta isekela amazinga ajwayelekile njenge-AirPrint (Apple) noma i-Mopria (Android), noma okungenani uhlelo lokusebenza olusemthethweni lomkhiqizi oluzinzile.
I-USB isabalulekile uma uphrinta kusuka kukhompyutha eyodwa kuphela, kanti i-Ethernet iwusizo uma iphrinta izokwabelwana ngayo kunethiwekhi encane yehhovisi. Cabanga futhi ngokulula kokusetha: amanye amaphrinta e-Wi-Fi kulula ukuwafaka, kanti amanye adinga ukucushwa okuyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu.
7. Naka usayizi, umklamo, kanye nokulula kokugcinwa.
Ngezinhlelo zokusebenza eziphansi, amaphrinta avame ukufakwa edeskini lokusebenzela noma ekhoneni. Usayizi kanye nomklamo kuyizinto ezibalulekile okufanele uzicabangele. Amaphrinta e-laser avame ukuba makhulu futhi abe nzima, kuyilapho amaphrinta e-inkjet emancane kakhulu. Qinisekisa ukuthi kunendawo yokuvula ithreyi yephepha bese ushintsha i-inki/i-toner.
Ukugcinwa kwesakhiwo nakho kudinga ukucatshangelwa:
– Kulula yini ukufinyelela ekushintsheni uyinki?
– Ingabe kukhona isici sokuhlanza ikhanda ngokuzenzakalelayo?
– Ingabe inkomba yezinga likayinki inembile?
– Ingabe izingxenye ezisele ezigunyaziwe kanye nensizakalo kufinyeleleka kalula?
Idivayisi okulula ukuyinakekela izonga isikhathi futhi inciphise ingozi yokuthi iphrinta iphuke ngenxa yezinkinga ezincane.
8. Hlola ukwesekwa kosayizi wephepha nezidingo ezikhethekile (amalebula, izimvilophu, ezomthetho)
Uma uphrinta ama-invoyisi ephepheni elithile, amalebula, noma usebenzisa iphepha elijiyile njalo, qiniseka ukuthi iphrinta yakho iyalisekela. Amanye amaphrinta anephepha elingemuva elingcono kakhulu ephepheni elijiyile noma ezithombeni. Kumalebula okuthumela, qiniseka ukuthi iphrinta yakho ingaphrinta ngaphandle kokuminyana kwamaphepha okuvamile.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, hlola umthamo wethreyi lephepha. Ukuze uthole ukuphrinta okuphansi, umthamo omkhulu awudingeki, kodwa ithreyi elincane kakhulu lingaba yinkinga uma uvame ukushintsha izinhlobo zephepha.
9. Cabanga ngesivinini, kodwa ungakwenzi kube yisici esiyinhloko.
Isivinini sokuphrinta (ppm) sivame ukukhulunywa ngaso ezintweni zokuphromotha, kodwa uma kunyatheliswa ngevolumu ephansi, imizuzwana embalwa yesikhathi sokulinda ngokuvamile akuyona inkinga. Okubaluleke kakhulu isikhathi sokuqala ikhasi liphuma kanye nokungaguquguquki kokukhipha. Iphrinta esheshayo enamaphutha avamile izosebenzisa amandla amaningi kunephrinta ehamba kancane kodwa ehambisanayo.
Uma izidingo zakho zisesikhathini esithile—isibonelo, ukuphrinta idokhumenti ngomzuzu wokugcina ngaphambi komhlangano—ukuthembeka kanye nokulula kokuxhumana kubaluleke kakhulu kunezinombolo ze-ppm.
10. Funda ukubuyekezwa futhi unake ulwazi lomsebenzisi lwesikhathi eside
Ngaphambi kokuthenga, funa izibuyekezo ezihlanganisa izinyanga eziningana zokusetshenziswa, hhayi nje ukuvula ibhokisi. Ivolumu ephansi ivame ukuholela ezinkingeni ezithile, njengokoma kweyinki ku-inkjet, izinkinga zokuxhumeka kwe-Wi-Fi, noma izindleko zekhatriji eziphakeme ezibhekwayo. Izibuyekezo zomsebenzisi zinganikeza ukuqonda ngalokhu:
– Ukuqina komshayeli ku-Windows/macOS.
- Ukusebenza kohlelo lokusebenza lweselula.
– Izinga lokujama kwephepha.
– Ukutholakala kwe-inki/i-toner kanye nokuhambisana kwayo.
Uma kungenzeka, khetha uhlobo olunesevisi ecacile nelula yokutholakala ngemuva kokuthengisa edolobheni lakini.
Isiphetho
Ukukhetha idivayisi yokuphrinta ngomthamo ophansi akukhona ukuthola iphrinta "eshibhile", kodwa kunalokho ukuthola efanelana kahle namaphethini akho okusebenzisa. Nquma izinhlobo zamadokhumenti owaphrinta njalo, khetha ubuchwepheshe obufanele (i-inkjet, ithangi le-ink, noma i-laser), bese ubala izindleko zakho eziphelele zobunikazi ukuze ugweme izindleko eziphezulu ze-ink/toner. Qedela isinqumo sakho ngokucabangela izici zemisebenzi eminingi, ukuxhumana, ukwesekwa kwephepha, kanye nokulungiswa okulula. Ngale ndlela, ungagcina unephrinta esebenzayo, engabizi, futhi ethembekile—noma ngabe uyisebenzisa kaningi.
Uma ungathanda, ngingakusiza ukuncoma uhlobo lwephrinta olusekelwe ezidingweni zakho ezithile (isib., inani elilinganiselwe lamakhasi ngenyanga, noma ngabe ukhetha omnyama nomhlophe noma umbala, noma ngabe udinga iskena/i-ADF, kanye nesabelomali sakho).
