| 1403974 | 2015-07-01 04:03:00 | This printer is well suited to my needs but... It does a "LOT" of self testing when I send a print to it, some times taking 2 minutes or more before it starts to print. Some times if I send the same document to be printed again it will start immediately and sometimes it will self test all over again. Search as I may I can find nothing in the manual about this or how to prevent it. Does anyone know how to prevent this please. Cheers. |

| 1403976 | 2015-07-01 06:09:00 | Not sure what it is doing. It werrs, it buzzes, it goes backwards and forwards long enough for me to make a cuppa :-) But what ever it is it wastes a lot of my time and I would like to stop it from happening. |

| 1403979 | 2015-07-01 07:03:00 | yea, head cleaning happens a lot, and wastes ink too. Seen a few printers like that, not much you can do other than make it print non stop. If you dont use the colour a lot, it will still run out. Dont usually recommend inkjets these days due to not getting a lot of printing out of the cartridges. Cheers, KK |
