Close Reg Cover Error Dell 3000 / 3100 printer

I have a Dell 3000cn color laser printer that showed up with a Close Reg Cover error. My first reaction is what the $@^%@ is a reg cover? I looked the printer over and did not see anything out of place. I called Dell and found the issue. My Dell 3000cn Color Laser has a duplexer. If you face the printer on the top right of the duplexer there is a button to release the duplexer and it folds back. The reg cover is a door on the back of the printer that is covered by the duplexer. Sure enough mine had flopped open. When I tried to close the reg cover it would not close as something was blocking it. I could bend the plastic and close it and the message would go out. I looked to see what might be blocking the reg cover but did not see anything. So I firmly grabbed the reg cover, put downward pressure and wiggled it and then wham it closed and I could then close the duplexer and print. No idea how this happened but now I know what a reg cover is.

Often government websites are cumbersome to navigate and provide too much detailed information and not enough simple information of commonly asked questions. This blog about Michigan Unemployment answers several of the most commonly asked questions regarding how to file for unemployment benefits in Michigan and how to navigate the system once you start receiving benefits. There are many details to follow when receiving unemployment benefits, such as working part time or going to school, so it's helpful to have as many resources as possible to keep you in good with the Michigan UIA.

There are some issues that only experts will be able to handle, such as strain cracks. So if you notice those cracks, best bet for you is to get someone who has knowledge in this.

If this is not done correctly it could result in mold being developed. If you have problems with vinyl of the boat it needs to be sprayed with protecting layer or you can try gel for this too. Or you can spray it with mildew inhibitor.
4. When storing your boat, you have to consider where you want to do it; either do this at a boat yard, outdoors or indoors. So you can make right arrangements that time. If you made a decision to keep it outdoors, make sure to get support frame and solid boat cover that they could hold the heavy snow.
When starting on the job, have in mind that all you want is to protect the boat from freezing temperature during winter time. That way if everything done correctly, you will not have any problems to use your boat again when spring comes.
You can always ask some boat keepers opinions, on how they come around this process, their equipment and solutions. By gathering as much information as you can, will help you make informed decisions.

6500 Tax Credit

A new gift from the goverment was recently unveiled, an extension of the 8000 first home buyer tax credit and the addition of a 6500 home buyer tax credit for those who are upgrading to a better home from the one they've lived in for the past five years. The 6500 tax credit is a further effort to stimulate the sick housing market in the United States and offer incentives to those to already own a home. This should provide some much needed stimulus to the move up home market where homes above $250,000 are still not selling well unlike the starter home market. Congress is hoping the 6500 home buyer tax credit can move some of that unsold inventory of bank owned homes that may help prop up the real estate market that could certainly use some help.
