Digital BW, The Print

Frank,

>Question 1:
>The paper sizes are different (letter & legal etc., as opposed to A3
>& A4 etc)- would it work to download and use a "local" driver and use
>north american paper sizes.

We also have the choice of letter and legal size. All included in the 
driver. Drivers from the Epson US and Europe are basically the same. 
Sometimes an updated driver is available in one continent before the 
other.



>Is there any mechanical aspect to the above question that's
>different ?


No, the  paper size moulded into the paper feed is A3,A4 and Letter.

>Question 2: Europe is on 220Volt main power supply and we are on 110-
>120Volt - are the printer voltages switchable ?


The voltage is not switchable so you will need a step down 
transformer. The built in transformer often puts out different 
voltages depending on the circuit boards requirement. I used to buy 
HAM equipment from the US and an external transformer was the easiest 
and cheapest solution. Check you can find a suitable transformer 
before buying the printer or even if you need one to step down from 
220 to 110/20 it will probable depend on the Hz range in your 
electricity supply.
