Hey friend, I've played the 5-string for 50+ years but have been reluctant to mess with the coordinator rods. You've cleared up my confusion with your excellent and clearly stated video. Thanks so much and greetings from Southeastern Kentucky. (I play a 1979 Ode C style).
Whereas showing and clearly explaining how cortanator rods work and are adjusted is very important and you executed that very well may I add. I think however it’s waste of viewers time showing how to unscrew screw 4 thumb screws etc surely the majority should be able to do that without being shown, that goes for refitting the resonator screws. So for time wasted only 9 out of 10. Coincidentally I have a Sierra and re-set the co-ordinator rods without books or video and I accept some ppl are not able to do that but do spare a thought for the majority.
I inadvertently chose the wrong(French instead of English) language when trying to set up the printer and now I cant get back to choose the language part. How do I g about changing the language to English?
Hi Faith, I've just done a quick google search and found this which you do from the printer touch screen... "From the printer front panel click the setup button (picture of a spanner) Click the Left arrow three times and press OK to access System Setup. Click OK once again to access the Languages selection. Using the right and left arrows locate English and press OK to confirm." Hope this helps. Let me know... Cheers, Roy
Good luck. Keep the adjustments small. Also, check the tightness of the banjo head. If it has stretched then the bridge and action will be lower and this could also cause some buzzing...
I just spent an hour on the phone with HP technical support trying to figure out how to use the document feeder on the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw. $1000 and it HP can't do it. Ridiculous. The tech support guy was baffled too. Couldn't understand why HP would make a printer that was such a hassle to print a simple envelope. A simple thing like that. HP used to be a great company that made great printers that were user-friendly. I used to have an HP Laserjet 4500 Series printer that I bought in 1999. It never broke down. It was a dream. Now HP printers are a commodities like corn or hogs or chicken feed. Now they make printers that are user-unfriendly. The $1000 HP M283fdw printer design is shoddy and way, way over-priced for its inferior features. For this customer, the "H" in HP stands for "hassle."
Thanks Michael, I haven't tried a G7th but they have good reviews - unfortunately I didn't have one. Thanks for taking time to watch my video - it doesn't seem to come up on searches very well...
Great review! Would you be kind enough to answer a couple of questions? Can this printer automatically create a double sided photocopy, i.e. in one go, without either having to re-feed in the source paper or paper being printed? I notice this printer says it automatically updates it's firmware from the internet to block 3rd party toner cartridges. If you avoid connecting it to the internet, does it still work ok, or does it refuse to work without internet after a while? Thank you!
I have this printer. Firstly it can’t do double sided photocopy automatically. User has to do this manually. And I use mine without connecting to wifi I have hard wired the printer into my pc.
Thank you. Very useful. I set up wifi on the printer. HP SMART is great. Thank you. Once I had wifi and HPSMART my PC picked up the printer and did all the download work for me. Great printer. I can also print from my phone and other devices around the house.
3:43 "...connected my USB port..." in the manual is says "do NOT connect the USB until instructed to do so" lol, ...i did the same thing but caught it before powering on
Greetings, How do I set it up to make copies front and back? How do I set it up to automatic scans front and back? I don't need the wifi. Just copies and scans many documents. Thanks.
You didn't give details to one of the most important factors of any WiFi printer. That's the ability to be hacked. Hackers hack WiFi printers BC they are rarely secured where they will get intonyour network and hack all your devices. You should cover how to secure your wireless printers
True not something I had considered. However, to connect this printer to a wifi network I have to enter the network passcode. Maybe you could let everyone know what this isn't safe and what else they should do?
@@RoyJohnsonMusic sure. Here you go. I'm not an expert but have been reading a lot on it lately and the reason why I don't connect my printers to WiFi. Here's a little something will copy/paste for you. 1. Limit or disable network printing Having an unprotected printer connected to your home or company network is like leaving an unlocked door to your room or office. So, make sure to review and disable anything that involves printing over the internet. This includes configuring your network settings so that your printer only answers commands that come via your network router. Depending on your printer model, this can be done by: Pressing the wifi button on the printer itself Finding and turning off the wireless printing setting via the printer’s control panel Disabling printing over HTTP in your Windows registry settings (advanced users only) Also, don’t forget to turn off your printer when you’re not using it - if there’s no connection, attackers can’t compromise your network. 2. Secure your printing ports Unsecured ports are probably the easiest avenue for hackers to access your printer. This means that you should enable only those printing protocols that you will use. For example, the standard protocol for secure printing on new printers is IPPS protocol via SSL port 443, so leave that open. All other optional, unnecessary, and rarely used protocols and services like AppleTalk, Telnet, FTP, and SNMP can expose your network to potential attacks and therefore should be turned off. If you’re not using any of the following network ports, you should disable them: Ports 515, 721-731, and 9100 Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) on port 631 The Server Message Block (SMB) protocol should also be disabled Don’t know how to disable these ports? See your router’s user manual to find out how. 3. Use a firewall This should go without saying, but you definitely need a secure and reliable firewall. If you’re a Windows user, your operating system already comes with a pre-installed firewall - simply make sure it’s enabled at all times. It will protect unused protocols that can allow hackers to remotely access your printer from outside the network. If you want more advanced protection, however, you might have to buy a specialized firewall. 4. Update your printer firmware to the latest version Printer manufacturers regularly fix known vulnerabilities in the firmware for the devices they produce, so make sure your printer always stays up-to-date security-wise. Closing any known security holes with the latest version of firmware will help you avoid most basic network printer issues. Keeping your firmware up to date is even more important if you use a printer at home, as most business-class printing machines have additional security features that home printers lack. If you’re as forgetful as we are, simply set up a recurring reminder to check for updates on your calendar app once every couple of months or so. 5. Change the default password to a strong passphrase Most printers tend to be connected to wifi, which means they can be accessed remotely with a password. However, most printers also have default administrator usernames and passwords that hackers can easily look up and use in order to gain access. If you haven’t changed your printer’s default password, do this immediately. You should find the option to do this in the utility settings of your printer. Instead of going with a password, consider creating a long, strong, and unique passphrase to make it a nightmare to brute-force. You can also use our unique password generator tool that generates strong passwords that are almost impossible to crack. Lastly, make sure printing always requires log on credentials - consult your printer’s manual to find out how
What you mean to say , is how to destroy the rim , by adjusting the rods , that`s not what they were designed for ! The neck action angle adjustment , is cut into the heel of the neck , where it meets the the rim . To correctly adjust , the angle on the end of the neck has to be recut , just like a guitar ! PROVE me wrong . Or just destroy the banjo rim ............
I know what I mean to say. Minor necknangle adjustments are fine using the torsion rods, if a large change in neck angle is needed then, yes, some work on the heel would be needed.
@@RoyJohnsonMusic Those coordinator rods are to stabilize and hold the rim in its proper diameter , any adjustment other than the neutral position(proper diameter) is distorting the rim , highlight that ..........
