Digital BW, The Print

Hello Neil,

>(second time using 308) the printer refused to draw the paper

>this problem with the heavy thick PR.

I had the same problem.  It's as if the printer decides "I've had
enough of this abuse" and refuses to grab the paper any more.  It
really scared me, I thought I'd broken it.  I'm actually relieved to
hear your report.  I'm guessing it must be a built in protection of
some sort.

Now I use the rear feeder for the heavy paper.  At first it was a bit
of a hassle but I quickly worked out a technique.  It has to be done
one at a time, but I was already doing that with the heavy cotton
papers even with the top loader (because I brush and Dust-Off each
sheet).  So it's working very well and I'm more at ease about not
abusing the paper feed mechanism.

Regards,
Clayton
