Digital BW, The Print

On my 785EPX, I've found that making sure, when the printer is idle or off,
that the paper thickness lever is set to the "0" setting, rather than the
"+" setting has greatly reduced the number of clogs. I turn it off at night,
and that seems sufficient. I, too, was unable to see any movement of the cap
or printhead when it went from "parked" to "off."

Todd:  I thought as you did that the last little mechanical "ehn" was
the capping pad raising into position.  However, after Austin
responded to an earlier post of mine regarding capping pad cleaning
that the cap was in place before power off, I decided to check it out
for myself.  I got a flash light and looked as I turned off both my
1160 and 1270.  The only thing I saw move is the cartridge locking
arm or pin (or what ever) raising into position.  It's not at all
easy to see beneath the cartridge, but I think I am now convinced.

Thanks.
