Re: [Digital BW] thickness of paper for 1400?

2011-02-03 by Andrew Darlow

Hi Scott:

Most 300gsm papers will feed fine through the 1400. If you get head strikes, there is a way to let the printer know you are feeding heavy sheets in the driver to increase the platen gap. If you are on Mac, it is under "Extension Settings."

Hope that helps,

All the best,
Andrew
