Re: QTR-GUI, 1280 Printer, Paper Runs Straight Through

2004-08-22 by njfranknj

I've had that happen under 2 conditions: paper size mismatch and a
part of a file remaining in the printer's memory.

For 1: make sure your image file size is about 1/2 inch smaller in
both dimensions than the paper selected in the QTRGui or script
(that's the Canvas Size in Photoshop).

For 2 (I have to do this to get the printer to eject the paper
anyway): shut off the printer for a few seconds after every print to
be sure it's memory is clear. If 1 solves your problem, you can
probably just click the off and on rapidly to eject the paper and be
ready for the next print. The other thing I like to do is have the
printer dialog box open as soon as I start printing so I can cancel a
print at any time if something isn't right, but then I like to do a
little test strip on the front edge of the paper before printing the
full image and it's handy to Cancel the print job when I'm ready for
the final print.
