Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1200

Rick,

I have used a 1200 for several years and only have problems with 
either regular paper stock I use for nozzle checks or very heavy 
paper.  For the former, it takes several sheets in the tray to get it 
to feed correctly.  The few times I have used very heavy stock, I 
have had to help the paper along by hand. However, for EAM an papers 
of like weight, the auto-feed seems to work well with one sheet in 
the tray.
