Re: Problem using Entrada (190gsm) with an R220

2007-04-25 by Philip Schwartz

Here's a wacky trick that often works for me (I also use Entrada 190
gsm in a E200): form feed an 8-1/2x11 sheet of fine sandpaper through
the printer a few times. This puts enough of a tooth on the rollers
that feeding works better.
