Digital BW, The Print

I normally cut thick paper into smaller sizes for testing. I feed the
smaller pieces as sheet paper, but have to "help" the printer by
pushing the paper when it begins to be pulled. Sometimes this fails
and I get a red light, in which case I normally place the paper in the
sheet feeder again, press the flashing button, and try once more.
