How to use hibernate in windows from command line?

Hibernate option in Windows is an option to shutdown any Windows laptop and after turning on again the laptop, all resources that was open before shutting down; such as word document, excel or other application are still available and running. The user doesn't need to re-open the applications. User  can continue where he or she has left off.

Cool, feature! Using command line, the cli command shutdown.exe provides an option on how to shutdown a Windows machine to hibernate. The option I believe is available for all Windows edition even Server edition.
Why do we need to use hibernate in Windows? Well, there are plenty of reasons. One example, if you have a few browser tabs open but then you need to shutdown the machine and don’t want to re-open all the browser tabs then hibernate is a good option.

Or if you’re downloading something and you need to check whether download was completed, or just need to check whether there were some errors during the download operations then hibernate is an option.

Shutdown /h command does not support /t parameters in which you can provide when to shutdown. However, task scheduler can be utilized; Using a batch file or a script with the hibernate command and run the script or batch file at a specified time.

So, how to use shutdown.exe to hibernate a Windows machine? Here are the steps:

1.      Open command prompt, by pressing windows key + r

2.      On the run box type: cmd

3.      The command prompt doesn’t need to be an elevated command prompt to run the command           

4.      On the command prompt window type: shutdown /h

5.      By pressing enter key, Windows will automatically shutdown with the hibernate option

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out.
