It does have that option but I was researching it (since the head cleaning wasn't working) and these printers are very prone to clogging and the ink drying, crusting over the printing head. Often the head cleaning mode can make it worse. I read a lot of recommendations to print something at least once a day to prevent it from clogging but there isn't much I can do now. For what it costs to replace it's not worth the energy to mess with.

The actual home user's experience and page yields with inkjet ink cartridges is dramatically different (lower) than manufacturers' claims for a lot of reasons. The printer heads is only one of those reasons but a web search for head cleaning options might save you a lot. You and the rest of us will most likely never get the per page yields that are claimed but we might at least be able to drain the cartridge by cleaning the heads. Good luck.
(Edited because it took me so long to post with interruptions here at the house that bigghoss already said he looked up the cleaning option)
Oh well, still applies to others. The truth is the page yields are calculated using a standard that extrapolates actual results from some test samples and assumes continuous use and an average printed page coverage of 5%. The average home user's real experience is drastically different usage than that so our mileage always varies.

My package kame from Ka-Bar kyesterday.....a 17, set of VZ's (now I'm going to have to inspect them more thoroughly) and tweener and 11 Micarta.....as well as a FREE Ka-Barley for not spending my leftover $2.73 of Kash. Actually, all the grips were free, too. Pretty good deal, really.

Yeah, I'm keeping them. Wasn't sure cuz I figured they'd feel plasticy and rough. Well...they do...but they feel pretty good lol. AND look better than I thought esp on this 9...
They're a bit busy and I prefer the more subdued looks of micarta but they're growing on me quickly. At least this set will definitely be a keeper and I'm almost glad the micarta was sold out otherwise I'd probably never had tried these.
I'll givem a go this weekend and report back.
First impressions get a solid A.

I was recently asked by a fellow BeckerHead (whose name rhymes with "Julio"... oh wait, there's really not much that rhymes with Julio... so that's probably not super-discreet... oops... 
) to take a pic of all my Beckers for a certain social-media page...
Sorry man, haven't gotten a round tuit yet.
But that request did remind me; dang... I do have a small handful of Beckers... and NO, none of them are for sale. Ever.
Also, Psyop, I have not forgotten about that thing we talked about at that thing last fall, about the thing where I promised to do something with that other thing that dude gave you.

Schoolwork, workout, video games, sleep, repeat. On the weekends it's just video games, I don't need the other three.
I am gonna go watch Serenity at my cousins' house tomorrow night though. They found it on black friday and bought it. :thumbup:
Usually, when they disappear, they found sports, girls or both.
Sports are alright, but being homeschooled in one of the more sparsely populated counties in America doesn't exacgly provide the chance very often. Girls can wait until later.

Just wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU to 710/Julio for the nest addition to my family:

Ayup. Every single time. That also goes for other things, like dealing with political discussions, members of whatever-you're-into romantically, and so forth.

I'm not crazy about the new big clip. I'm sure it can be whittled down. I usually pocket mine...actually using the TDI clip 14 right now tho.
I do this sometimes...works really well...
If I tuck the handle in the belt loop its even more incognito. Thinking about just making it a belt buckle.
That's cool!
I don't conceal my blades... And I don't tuck shirts in so neck carry just works well for me.
What's the factors?
1-2-4-8-16 ?
Oh shit I get it now.. Because 4x4... See I couldn't figure out how they had an odd number of factors.
Thanks man... It's been bugging me lol
Thanks fellas!
Now I just need a free truck... Got one?

Correct! So clearly you do know what a factor is.
Cruel and unusual snarking... The 8th Amendment prohibits the government from doing this, but I guess among friends...

HAHA! Thanks...
I'm thinking I'll have to do the normal and at least line up a job before I get me a truck... No car. No suv. Must be a truck. Old is fine. I'd even take a Ford
Man that tdi clip came with the tiniest screws I've seen... I don't own a star driver thingy that small so I couldn't put it on... Now I have to get the right tool so next time I don't have the same problem...
That being said, the clip got claimed the first person I showed... But I told him first I need to show the other guys...
I'm turning people to 'Heads and they don't even know it lol.
