RE: [Digital BW] Printer ON/OFF??

2010-06-18 by Tom Maugham

By store it do you mean packed in a box and put away? What is 'some period
of time'? I would say that it depends very much upon the printer. What does
the manufacturer say?

 

I have two printers in storage, that is packed in boxes and in a closet.
Both are turned off, have nearly full carts in them with the carriage taped
in place over the nozzle cap as it was when received from the factory. One
of them has been in storage for about a year and the other about 3 months.
The one I am using now was similarly stored for about a year and started
right up with only a couple of head cleanings necessary.

 

HTH,

tom

A different question:

If you store your printer unused for some period of time, say a few
days/weeks, is it better to leave the power on, or turn the printer off??
