Digital BW, The Print

Hello Richard,

>when feeding in small papers for some reason (like 4x6).  

There was an Epson Rep at the store who said that there is "a series
of cogs" in there.  I assume that means some cams and gears that have
to mesh precisely.  I suppose that as some edges and corners wear the
meshing becomes less precise and eventually there's a jam.  It really
scared me, I thought for a few minutes it had completely died.  I'll
miss it, it's been a real workhorse.

Well, all mechanical things wear out eventually, so you better prepare
yourself <g>.  Of course I've barely scratched the surface with the
new one.  Once people begin using QTR and/or other RIPs with it we'll
know lots more of what it can and can't do.

Regards,
Clayton
