Can you adjust the Platen width on that machine?? I'm not familiar with it.

 

On my old 4000 I'd get that kind of marking at the leading edge whenever I
switched to a thicker paper and forgot to set the Platen to "wide" instead
of "normal".

Subject: [Digital BW] Why?

 

My 1280 has been working great...until my big show of course. Suddenly
it started printing a black squiggly line horizontally across the
photo about 1/8 down from the top on a horizontal image.

The squiggly line also appears vertically on text printing from word
files.

I tried several different ink carts.

I've used the cleaning utility and it almost just makes it worse.

I have no idea how to physically clean the print head if that's even
the problem.

Is this an easy fix or am I screwed?

thanks

Tim
