Digital BW, The Print

Martin, 

I tried the same thing....and the cork adhesive failed and the cork fell into the printer causing that same screeching sound and a stopped head.  

Good idea though.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Sagging CIS Support Arm Cure



  Something that gets mentioned from time to time is that with the 
  NoMoreCarts CIS the Velcro attachment on the right end of the support 
  arm tends to separate over time allowing the arm to droop.

  If you do not check this and push the arm back into position the CIS 
  tubing falls into the printer and jams under the print head or the 
  head carriage hits the end of the arm causing the printer to make 
  horribly lethal sounds. There have been one or two reports of such 
  jams trashing the print head mechanism.

  I have hit upon a very simple solution to the problem. The CIS is 
  supplied with two black rubber corks that are attached to the body of 
  the printer to hold up the lid away from the CIS arm and tubing. I 
  place the anchor of the right hand cork on top of the tubing at the 
  right end of the support arm (just to the left of the line label). 
  The weight of the cover is then resting on the CIS support arm and 
  holds it firmly in place.
