Digital BW, The Print

Andre,

I've had a lot of trouble getting Moab Kayenta (205 gsm) to load in
my R220. Can you tell me what you mean by 'outside bend' and 'inside
bend'? Maybe that's my problem.

I've tried everything, using many tips from this group - slight curve
in the paper, cleaning the rollers with alcohol-moistened watercolor
paper, etc. The paper goes into the printer, so it does get picked
up... but then passes right through. And I was as gentle as I could
possibly be when I gave a 'nudge' along the top edge.

The strange thing is I can feed 8 1/2 x11 ok, but not 5 x 7 (both are
loaded in portrait orientation of course).

Thanks!

Paul
