Power from the electric company isn't always a perfect sine wave and

The repair shop's solution - they had seen this problem before, 
particularly with HP printers - is this:


Unplug the power cord from the wall so there's no power going to the 
printer - just turning the printer off won't work.  Leave it sit for 
6-8 hours, then plug it back in and see if the problem is gone. 
Leaving it sit with no power going to it will allow the spurious 
voltages to dissipate and return the e-prom to a normal state.

Re: PESO - Loon and Loonling

[Jostein]

That's impressingly close for a loon.
Good catch!

Well, formally it's a chick, but we've always called them loonlings.

Between rainstorms today, my K-5 and venerable FA 80-320 joined me in
our canoe for a paddle on the New Hampshire pond that is our holiday
venue. The pond is home to a pair of loons and their progeny. They are
remarkably tame for loons, and never dove even though I came within
about 30 feet / 9 meters.

PESO - Beetleface

[Jostein]

One more in the category of tiny monsters.

http://www.alunfoto.no/innhold/beetleface/

I have now worked through five of the old 4X microscope lenses Mike W. 
brought me, and found that none of them can match the detail resolution 
of a reversed Pentax-M 28mm f/2.8 stopped down to f/5.6. The Pentax is a 
little soft in the contrast rendering, though, so maybe the A-series 
edition is better.


To explore further options, a Pentax-K 24mm f/3.5 has just been ordered 
through eBay. :-)


Interesting times. Another, more systematic study of the 10X lenses 
coming up, but not in a couple of weeks. School has just started here, 
and I'm busy getting to know my new students.

Re: OT - help again with R2400

[Paul]

OK - here's an off-the-wall possible solution - as suggested by my 
printer repair people.


Power from the electric company isn't always a perfect sine wave and 
sometimes has imperceptible (to us) voltage spikes.  Sometimes these are 
picked up by the e-prom on the printer's motherboard, alters the 
e-prom's programming and causes the printer to do strange things.  In 
the case of my R2000, it decided to run a head cleaning cycle before 
printing every print.


The repair shop's solution - they had seen this problem before, 
particularly with HP printers - is this:


Unplug the power cord from the wall so there's no power going to the 
printer - just turning the printer off won't work.  Leave it sit for 6-8 
hours, then plug it back in and see if the problem is gone. Leaving it 
sit with no power going to it will allow the spurious voltages to 
dissipate and return the e-prom to a normal state.


I know this sounds goofy, but it worked for me. :-):-)

Paul - It is in the feed tray - I don't load by hand ever however you 
gave me an idea... maybe I should wait until it says there isn't any

Had similar problems after i upgrded Epson 2400 software last time. It
for some reason deleted the printer name, i was informed to go into
the preferences and give it a name then all was fine. This is for OSX
not sure if that would be a problems in windoze
