Re: OT - help again with R2400

[ann sanfedele]

Makes a lot of sense to me actually -  since Con-ed might well be 
holding back a bit with what it is doling out due to the excessive 
heat.. Luckily there hasnt' been an all out outage in my neighborhood 
(knocking on wood loudly) but scattered ones around the city.  I'm sure 
I would have not just passed out but passed on if I were not in air 
conidtioned rooms...


fingers crossed too

Thanks! will let ya know

Obviously, it had not -always- been doing it.

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

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. :-):-)

anyone?

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 
paper there and see what happens :-)

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
