Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Jimbo. I think the printer paused when it detects I am using 
transparency material. Or it may use some sort of light to detect the 
page edge and the transparency material shows no edges to the light.

I guess if I tape one side/edge of the transparency then it may be able 
to detect the edge of the sheet. But I am wonder which edge should be 
taped.

Thanks,
Phil
