Re: Lines on Prints/problem solved

2004-09-20 by weareallsosmall

I ran a few cleaning cycles and then hosed my printer down with canned
air, and also cleaned the parking pads a little. This didn't work but
good advise anyway (man was it dirty in there!).

Next i unchecked high speed, and problem solved.  Her name is now
Gramma, but hey she gets the job done;)

Thanks Jerry
John
