Re: QTR, R2400 & Rear Sheet Feed problem

2007-01-14 by Gary Benson

Tom, 

I have had no problems getting my 2400 to feed the paper (Epson Velvet
Fine Art) through the single sheet rear feeder.  For both QTR and when
printing directly from Photoshop, the paper is position the same until
the printer actually receives the image and starts printing.  At that
point, printing from Photoshop, the printer repositions the paper so
that the image is correctly centered on the paper and it starts
printing.  With QTR, the paper is not repositioned correctly and it
just starts printing on the far left edge of the paper.

I haven't used the front sheet feeder because I don't have much room
at the back of my printer to receive the paper.  This is one thing I
really like about the 2400 vs the 2200 (needing less space at the back
to feed the heavier paper through to the front tray).

I'm at a loss as to how I can fix this problem with the 2400 and QTR
on my system.  I have only heard from 3 people who are using QTR with
the 2400.  One of them experienced this problem, the other two did not.

When problems like this arise in digital print making the I find the
mysteries of how a computer, printer and software all work together
(or not) a little frustrating.
