Have you tried to put cardboard the same size of the paper right behind it?
This sometimes helps with the loading.  The cardboard needs to be thick
enough so that the printer doesn't try to feed it instead of the paper.

Subject: [Digital BW] paper slipping


Have been using some heavy coated paper...Hahnemule Photo Rag 308 in 
the 1270 with MIS inksets.  After the first cartridge went through, 
it seems the platen or whatever the intake wheels are called is 
starting to slip and I have to take each sheet and give it a nudge to 
go through.  I suspect that the culprit is the coating put on the 
paper to keep the ink from soaking in.

Any suggestions on how to clean the paper intake mechanism and wheels 
to get it back going again on it's own?  I set the paper setting to + 
(plus) to allow for this thick paper.

Bill,

I recently visited an Epson authorized repair facility and asked the repair
tech about paper feed problems. Looking straight down at my 1160 paper feed
tray, there are two large rubber rollers, one of which slides back and forth
as you adjust for different paper widths. He said to clean the rollers with
a swab dipped in alcohol. (Isopropyl OK)You can press the paper feed button
to get them to turn as you clean.

good luck
-BK
