Notes from 18th May 2004
[posted at 10:00 GMT]    

Week ago I have received CFS from MIS. I was planning to put it as soon as possible, but I am recently very busy and it seems to become every day norm. Maybe you remember I had this strange noise coming out of my printer for ages. Something happened and than every time cart with inks move it makes little "puk". From few days ago my printer was producing scratch on each paper.
I decide to open printer. First I want to clean it anyway before I put CFS and I also want to look why it is scratching the paper. I have found that on of so called pizza wheel is blocked and scratching a paper. And when I moved it a little and clean surroundings the "puk" sound disappear. What left is that the wheel is still little blocked and still scratching a paper even there is no sound anymore. I believe that cart with inks was hitting it for a while until it becomes blocked. I have no idea how I am going to fix that.

I just solved it easily. I remove pizza wheels totally. It was rather easy just unscrewing the metal holding plate and pushing plastic pins I removed two pieces which carry all pizza wheels. I did test print and there is no marks at all. After close inspection I confirm what I though already one of the wheels was blocked and making mark on paper.
I also find out what was the thing making that puk, plock sound. It is a flat cable coming from printing had. As it folds it makes this sound by springing and hitting cover of the printer. If I can fix that it would be great.
