Re: [Digital BW] Epson R280 does not work with transparency

2010-07-28 by Phil

I think this is exact what is happening. R280 does not come with a 
driver for transparency material so when I am choosing a driver for any 
opaque material it will just dead/pause in the middle of page feeding, 
exactly before the printing. I wonder where is the sensor is so I can 
just tape that part on the transparency.

Thanks,
Phil
