DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EXPERT SYSTEM ON TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE OF EPOSON PRINTER
ABSTRACT
Most often, the printing of very important and computer reports have been stopped midway owing to some minor faults on the computer/printer system. At times, due to the complexity of the faults some maintenance find it difficult beginning to perform detailed diagnosis due to lack of specialized equipment, some of which are available only to a few big firms due to their high cost of acquisition.
As the case may be, some of those faults may be such that will require a very fundamental knowledge of printer maintenance, making use of minor tools. Once the actual causes are identified.
This project “EPERT SYSTEM ON TROUBLE – SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE OF EPSON PRINTER” shooting and maintenance information for non-computer/printer engineers.
ORGANISATION OF THE WORK
This work is organized into seven chapters.
CHAPTER ONE: Highlights the native, aims and objectives of the project, the general work to be done, what it will achieve and benefits derivable there from.
CHAPTER TWO: Reviews some literature of related subject matter by earlier authors.
CHAPTER THREE: Describes and analyses the existing system, states its mode of operation and identities the problem facing at, providing possible solution thereof.
CHAPTER FOUR: Treats the design of the new system. Things in the present system as well as the new structure and design elements that are needed to properly implement the new system are also described.
CHAPTER FIVE: Deals with the implementations phase, comprising program design, coding and testing.
CHAPTER SIX: Presents the documentation of the new system, describing the functionality of various parts of the program. It also provides a risers guide to using the system.
CHAPTER SEVEN: Gives some concluding remarks as well as recommends possible areas of further research and improvement.
