Digital BW, The Print

Coin,

The feed slot I was referring to is on the top of the printer in the  
rear and yes it is the one designed for heavy fine art papers.  I  
don't use the Epson driver with the 1800 - only QTR and with the  
latter you must specify the "manual roll" feed option in the final  
print dialog if you use this slot.
