Re: [Digital BW] small, non-standard paper sizes and the "paper size check" setting on the 4800

2005-11-30 by rgoldman2

I just made an experiment with my 4800. I fed a 3 5/8 by 4 5/8 piece of Premium Semi 
Matte and it printed a slightly smaller image on the paper, following the procedure for 
making small prints that I outlined earlier. The printer did not feed the paper squarely, but 
it did feed it through so that almost the whole print was on the paper; it was off true about 
an eigth of an inch.  I place the print in the extreme upper left of the paper (0.0). If I had 
given it a bit of breathing room (an eigth of an inch or so) it all would have been on the 
paper.When the print was finish, the printer transport  could not move the paper into the 
paper tray; I had to retrieve it by hand. I have not tried going a bit larger, but I'm guessing 
it can properly handle a 4 x 5 inch long sheet. I'm not sure how the transport works; one 
dimension is probably more critical than the other.
