Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,
Do you have a CFS system?  I had this problem when the ink lines were  
too loose and when the the print head travelled all the way to left   
(which is not on every pass)   they evidently were registered as  
foreign object/blockage/threat to print head survival  (something  
along that line of thought)  and the red lights came on blazing.  It  
also made a fairly dreadful sound.  Took me a while to figure it out  
and all it required was gently pulling the lines back.  There is a  
very fine line between too tight and too much slack.  And yes a   
power on & off cleared the problem until the printhead had to travel  
all the way to the left again.
Hope this makes sense./  Siobhan
