Troubleshooting Other problems If the Printer Makes a Strange Sound Cause The printer makes a sound during operation. Corrective Action The following sounds do not indicate a problem with the printer. • There is a sound of suction from the Platen. To prevent paper from rising, paper is held against the Platen by suction from Vacuum holes under it. • Roll paper makes a fluttering sound during printing. There may be a fluttering sound when large paper is advanced. • You suddenly hear the sound of cleaning operations. At regular intervals, for printer maintenance, cleaning operations will begin automatically, even if the printer is in Sleep mode. • You suddenly hear the sound of ink agitation. At regular intervals, to ensure optimal printing quality, the ink is agitated automatically, even if the printer is in Sleep mode. Ink agitation takes about 30 seconds.
