Re: 3800 Ticking Noise

2007-11-22 by Tony Bonanno

Jeff,

Take a close look at the paper edges when it comes out of the
printer... sounds like classic "head strike" to me.. may not be severe
enough to be visible, depending on paper.  Try widening the platen gap
in the menu settings and see if the clicking goes away.

Cheers,

Tony Bonanno
