Just discovered a crucially important feature of the 1400 which is not mentioned in the user guide! There is a checkbox for thick paper and envelopes. My printer had developed a banding problem, when I accidentally found this box. When clicked, the banding disappeared. It probably increases the distance of the head to the paper, a feature I had on the 2100/2200 and bitterly missed on the 1400. For those of you who like me didn't know about this feature, you will find it in the Printer Settings -> Maintenance tab -> Printer and Option Information Louis
