RE: Quick question: Power on or off?

["David J. Bookbinder" <david_bookbinder@sprynet.com>]

There seems to be quite a bit of variation on the on/off and clogging issue
from printer model to printer model and even printer to printer. My 785EPX
used to clog frequently. Turning it off when I wasn't using it, and also
making sure that the thickness setting was set at the thinnest setting, has
virtually eliminated clogs.

Yes, I've gotten that, too. The Windex treatment cleared it up for me.
