Digital BW, The Print

The front feeder will only take paper 16 inches wide. What I am printing now
is 14 x 30+ .The substrate has been 15 x 35. I set the paper size for 15 x
30 and then set the margins 1 in top and 1/2 sides (margins to match paper
placement) . And I'm using double sided tape to hold the paper down.
Truthfully, I have not had much luck with the rear feeder, it always has
something of its own to add - paper skews and misfeeds.

Actually, I'm printing Panoramas on metal .....and want a full bleed. I lie
about the image size to the printer.
