Re: [MBZ] OT printers
Peter F. posted something on how to fix them awhile ago. I have an Epson that won't go so I saved it off. Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2014 23:32:56 -0500 From: Peter Frederick psf...@earthlink.net To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Testing apple times Message-ID: e7d8117d-40ae-4932-81bd-1eaccda63...@earthlink.net Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Here are some tips for cleaning Epson printer heads (I've done more than a few, just finished up reviving an old R800 head for use in an R2880). First, the dye inks do NOT dry out in the printer. They become very viscous, but do not dry. Pigment inks do indeed dry down, but are readily resuspended. Second, cleaning cycles are only good for removing air, they will NOT fix plugs, and paradoxically, make things worse by applying a vacuum to the whole head. When the head is moved off the seal, gumming ink results in a vacuum still inside, and air is sucked up from the bottom, preventing the ink from being fired. Third, the clogs from sitting unused are almost always ink collecting on the bottom of the head and plugging the nozzles. You can suck in through the print head forever, and if you don't remove the collected grunge it will not print. It DOES drip ink all over, but the droplets will not fire onto the paper. To clean one in this condition: Install cartridges filled with ink -- aftermarkets with third party ink is a best choice, you may use quite a bit and Epson cartridges are expensive for cleaning. If you want, once you get it cleared out you can switch back. Turn the printer on and press the ink cartridge button. Once the carriage parks in the cartridge replacement station, unplug the printer WITHOUT turning it off. This leaves the carriage free to move by hand. Fold a paper towel to fit in the channel the printhead travels in over the paper. It needs to be thick enough to actually touch the prinheatd but thin enough to push the printhead over. Saturate the paper towel with Windex or other spray glass cleaner. I'm not sure I would use 409, it might be too strong. Lay the towel in the channel and wipe the printhead over it. Likely it will instantly turn black with gummy ink. Remove the towel and replace with a fresh one, adjusting thickness as necessary to gently wipe the bottom of the printhead until you get obvious traces of the correct ink colors. Get a spray bottle of windex or other glass cleaner and carefully fill the sponge and seal of the cartridge cappping station. Use a dry paper towel to blot up the dissolved ink until the station is mostly clean. Wipe down the rubber seal, make sure it is not gummy with dried ink. Fill the sponge in the capping station with Windex and push the carriage over it. Briefly plug the printer in until the carriage drops onto the seal and unplug it again. You don't want the pump to suck the Windex out, you want to soak the bottom of the head. Leave it at least a couple hours. Overnight is better. Next day plug the printer in and turn it on. It should do a quick cleaning cycle. Print a nozzle check. If you are really lucky, you will get at least most of the nozzles firing. Ignore the fact that the ink colors are likely wrong, you have been mixing the ink with cleaner and it will wick up into the nozzle chambers randomly. If you have a decent number of clear nozzles, print a purge page (marruttusa.com has a selection). By the end of the page, you should be able to tell if you have decent ink flow or not. Drips of ink onto the page means you have Windex in the nozzles, it causes ink to leak. This is not a big issue a this point. Print another nozzle check. Should be better. If not, do a clean cycle but unplug the printer when the wiper blade is up -- it's beside the capping station, watch for the printer to flip it up to wipe the printhead. Crap built up on the wiper simply plugs the nozzles by wiping gummy dried ink into them, hardly a way to clear them. Wipe it down with windex, make sure it's quite clean. Plug it back in and do one clean cycle, then print a nozzle check. With some luck, a dye printer will be working pretty well by now. Pigment printers require more work, usually. If a couple cycles of soaking and printing purge pages doesn't do the trick, you will have to find some syringes and plastic tubing that will fit over the spikes the cartridges connect to on the printhead. push the ink button and unplug the printer when the carriage is free. Remove the cartridges, and fold up a dry paper towel to fit under the printhead. Heat some windex in the microwave -- you can add some glycerin if you have it to raise the viscocity, it helps later -- and fill a syringe with the hot windex and attach some tubing to allow you to connect to the spike. Push the tubing over the spike for whatever color isn't

[MBZ] OT - The Dunking
THE DUNKING By Wilton Strickland During the spring of 1938, a couple of months before I turned 4, I was in the fields on a hot, sunny afternoon with Daddy and a couple of my older brothers, who were preparing the fields for the year's tobacco crop. The farm was in Wake County, NC, at the end of a mile-long dirt road off Poole Road and is now paved and known as Hodge Road. We were across a thickly wooded area a mile or more from the house. When I became thirsty, Daddy told me to go down to the spring to get a drink of water. The spring was in the woods between two steep hills not far from the fields and was often used by the family as a source of good drinking water when working on that part of the farm. The water was always clear, cold and flowing profusely from within the side of the hill. A round depression about 2 feet in diameter and about a foot deep had been dug at the spring to form a sort of basin. There were many small rocks on the bottom of the basin and larger rocks around the perimeter. A small, dry gourd with a long, straight handle always hung on a tree nearby to be used as a dipper from which to drink. As I started into the woods toward the spring, Daddy yelled to me, Be careful! Don't fall in! We don't have time for a funeral! He always said that when we were about to be in a bit of danger. He said it in sort of a joking manner, but he was serious about wanting us to be careful. At the spring, I ignored the dipper and got down on my hands and knees intending to drink directly from the small pool of cold water like an animal and promptly tumbled headfirst into it! It was quite a shock, of course, and I came up gasping for air and screaming for Daddy. Because of the thick woods and steep slope between us, though, he could not hear me. I walked back up the slope and through the woods to Daddy, dripping a trail of water and whimpering all the way. He tried to comfort me a bit, but what I really needed was dry clothes. Neither he nor one of my brothers could leave the field to take me home. I walked alone back through the woods to the house, where Mama helped me change clothes and gave me lots of warm hugs. - Original Message - From: Rich Thomas via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2014 10:23 AM Subject: [MBZ] Interesting Wilton mail issue The new list feature has replies going to the sender and the list.

Re: [MBZ] messed up trans electric socket
I have had a couple people offer me early W220 (2000/2002) S600s in trade for my R129. I did some research and found that they are pretty much POS cars, at least the early models. One guy was offering me a 2002 S600 with 120k on the clock and records for an even trade. I looked at book values and they were like $4k. Yikes! I knew nothing about anything newer than a W140. I'm going to keep it that way The tranny socket is a $12 part at the dealer and takes all of about five minutes to replace. I have one on my shelf for the R129 but haven't felt like getting under it to check. Probably ought to do that What is with these dealers that are worthless?

[MBZ] When it rains it pours
I was pretty pleased yesterday when I fixed the Jetta with a $0.98 part so you can imagine how crushed I was today when I took a highway offramp and got a cloud of smoke. The coolant temp sensor lives in the upper radiator hose and is held in place with a metal clip. The clip rusted and shattered, the temp sensor got spat out along with much of the coolant. Fortunately there was a shop nearby, the guy took a piece of wire and fabbed me a new clip and I picked up some water from a convenience store but unfortunately I'd lost the seal (which looks like an o-ring in the online picture) from the sensor so I couldn't get it to quit leaking even with a piece of cloth tied tight around it. A nearby boneyard provided a new clip but no seal. Fortunately I limped it the 20 miles back home with only 3 gallons of water lost. Traded the 190D with its balding tire to Angie and took the Ranger to Syracuse. A new temp sensor with its clip and seal are on their way, fortunately theres a TDI parts supplier right in MA so even the cheap shipping is super quick. -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
