Xerox M750 - Cleaning Color Printhead

Hi,

I just discovered this group.

I own three Xerox M750 color inkjet printers. Recently, I let two of
them go nearly dry. I suspect that was a mistake.

I purchased a full set of inks (black, cyan, magenta, and yellow) for
each printer from www.inkco.us. (They were $6 for black and $5 for each
color.)

After installing in both printers, I had to perform the clean function on
the color printhead at least ten times to get the ink to flow and the
colors to look right. Still, when I print a test page, the red sometimes
comes out like brick red, the yellow has green streaks, and the magenta
has yellow streaks.

I wiped the color printheads clean on both machines (I haven't used any
alcohol because I didn't know it that was ok), and still have problems.
After letting both machines sit overnight, they worked fine, but, the
next day, one of them was back to the same old problems.

I read

<[email protected]>

which tells about taping the tank to get the printhead to work. I don't
know how tapping the tank affects the printhead (do you do it while the
tank is still in the printhead?).

At any rate, I can't connect to this xerox article cited in the message.
Could someone summarize, or send to my parcxman address, for me, please?

I've got two M750's in need of help. I certainly won't let the third one
go dry.

Sincerely,
Bruce

Did you go to the Xerox site and do what they call "Tap the Ink Tanks"
or go to that animation

It worked for m lady friend twice.

You know what to do: shdb at slip dot net

This is ironic. I work for Xerox, but the DNS tables at my site in
California have been flakey such that the only URLs can't be resolved are
my own company's: Xerox. Our IT department has tracked it down, but
hasn't fixed it yet.

I had to ask my wife to connect from her place of work (non-Xerox), and
she got me the information.

Thanks,
Bruce
