Is there a way to use the rear feed of a 2200 without losing about
3.5cm (1.4 inches) of paper length? 

Having tried rear-feeding an A4 sized sheet of DaVinci Fibre Gloss in
my 2100 (the feed rollers curently have problems gripping this paper,
possibly due to previous use of HM PR) I couldn't fit the image on the
page, as the printer senses the use of the rear slot and at that point
draws it through the mechanism until it's well past the print heads
(before you've even issued a print request to the driver). Apart from
taping a piece of waste paper onto the leading edge of the paper, I
can't figure out an easy way to get back that extra bit of 'lost length'.

TIA
