Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul and djon:

I agree that the wheels have to be clean for any feeding technique to  
work. I usually take a letter-sized sheet of heavy paper (80# cover)  
and spray about a 3 inch strip across the 8.5 inch dimension (toward  
the middle) with windex, and then run it through a few times. The pre- 
feed should then help.

All the best,

Andrew
