Epson Printer Question

[Steven Wandy]

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

I have not turned mine off since I installed it.

news:comp.periphs.printers is the place for your question.

This newsgroup is .slr-systems and as you can read in the charter, it is not for
specific discussion of printers.

I leave my Epson 785 on 24/7.

Cheers,
Alan.
