[Digital BW] Re: 3800 Ticking Noise

2007-10-24 by Flashbulb

Well... I looked inside the printer with a flashlight with the cover up as it was printing and 
could not see what was causing the noise. I think perhaps it was happening each time the 
paper advanced. In any event, the sound has now mysteriously stopped and I have made 
many prints and smaller test prints without any noise.

On another note:

Does any know if this printer does a cleaning cycle EVERY time the machine is turned on? Or 
are all those startup machinations / gyrations doing something else?
