Re: [Digital BW] 4800 paper loading - User feedback requested

2005-07-14 by Sam McCandless

I hope the 4800 is at least feasible, James, because from its spec's, 
which I might have misunderstood, I thought it wouldn't feed 
custom-sized sheets smaller than letter size. Which I need in order 
to be able to re-print old family photos one-up in their original, 
typically small, sizes. So I haven't thought the 4800 was an option 
for me. But if it can feed sheets the size of your holiday cards' 
stock even one at a time, then maybe it is.
