Hello, anyone knows this problem using the Niagara 4 ink system with the 2400 printer: when starting printing the printhead goes to the left in such a hurry that the plastic ink tubes which goes along with the head always comes stuck or twisted inside the printer. I then have a few seconds to correct this before the paper went down and printing starts. Is this a normal thing with Niagara? Steven.

Steven, Yes, had a similar problem initially. Sent a photo of the set-up to Media Street and they suggested I move the large, clear plastic tube support further to the right; to about the half way position or slightly further to the right. There was an immediate improvement, and further adjustments got it going very well the same day. Now the tubes lay flat on the bottom as the head moves to the left and pulls out neatly upon return of the head to the right. Let me know if your adjustments do not improve the situation, and I will search out the photo or take another. Good luck. Ken

Ken, thanks for the reply but I am a bit confused with your solution. What do you mean with the clear tubes support? Is that the thing in the middle of the printer? (with the clear glass attached to it) And what do you mean with the tubes lay flat at the bottom? IN my printer they float in the air?? thanks, Steven.

Steve, Attached is photograph that should clarify the details. The distance, in my case 10 inches from the left end of the printer, will vary depending on the brand of the CIS and amount of tubing supplied. Ken ********************************************************

Ken,
thanks for the reply but I am a bit confused with your solution. What
do you mean with the clear tubes support? Is that the thing in the
middle of the printer? (with the clear glass attached to it)
And what do you mean with the tubes lay flat at the bottom? IN my
printer they float in the air??
thanks, Steven.
