I currently am using an R-800 (LOVE IT!!!). It is being used for all my
printing. This is the first Epson that I have used as my all-arround printer
(used HP before this).
I realize that when you turn on the Epson it goes through a
cleaning/charging cycle (and uses up some ink). HP printers were smart
enough to go into a "standby mode" and start up when you clicked PRINT.
Apparently Epson's are not this bright.
Do most Epson users leave the printers on all the time or turn them off? If
you leave them on, do you occassionally turn them on and off to do the
cleaning/charging cycle? Thanks

Hmm,
On my Epson 1200, yes it is a little old, when first turned on goes through
the cycle. I leave mine all the time and it depends on how long it has been
on weather or not it goes through a cycle. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Yours,
Tom
PS: Personnally, I really don't care as long as it prints GREATLY!! (new
word "GREATLY", like "realdom" a cross between seldom and rarely)...though
GREATLY is just a made up word, with no traceable family tree.
Have fun,
Tom
