Mothballing printers.

2005-06-22 by dlruckus

Hi folks.
This should probably be addressed to Tyler, Ernst or Paul Rourk but
includes all. I will be leaving for as long as a couple of months soon
and have 2 printers I need to care for. The 1st, a 7000, still has dye
inks in it and I will be be pulling those and flushing the printer and
will leave it that way until I can load pigs into it for use.

The other is a 3000 with VM carts. I would rather not transport
prepare it if I can avoid it so am wondering if it would work to leave
it turned on but on a timer that switched power to it for 15-20
minutes a day.
I know that works with the smaller printers as I used the technique on
my old 1200s and it was fine. I don't know if it works in the same way
on the 3000 though.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Duane
