Re: [Digital BW] Paper fouling heads - Is this even possible

2006-09-18 by Michael Kitei

Thanks. I think I'll try feeding it from the rear, which is probably  
what I should be doing in the first place, and maybe keep it out of  
the 1280. The shorter paper didn't suffer, but the 19" might just  
make a difference.
