Velvet Mystery Solved...I think.

2006-08-11 by Kevin

In the manual there is a section on Loading Special Paper in the Single Sheet Guide.

It talks about selecting "Manual-Roll" and sure enough, you have to choose this option in 
the Page Setup "Paper Size". For example, US Letter has an arrow that lets you further 
specify paper where you would choose "US Letter, Manual-Roll".

After I pick this I can choose Velvet from the Print Setup menu. But it warns you to load 
paper in the rear manual slot.

And the Manual Roll option is not available for all paper sizes, including the 4.25x5.5 
special paper size I created for proofs and testing.

Can anyone tell me how easy/tough it is to use this manual Single Sheet Guide? I have very 
little space behind my printer. Maybe another 5 or 6 inches. It's housed in a cabinet and I 
just can't see myself bending over to get behind the machine too often.
