Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I'm finding that I have to push A5 sheets of RhotoRag down manually in conjunction with pushing the paper feed button when printing as the paper does not get fed into the printer otherwise.

I don't recall this happening before and it's a while since I printed A3 or A4 - is this normal?

thanks,
Richard

Yes, it's normal. For me the first few sheets will usually go through
fine then they stop working and I have to help them through. Running a 
few sheets of EEM through the printer usually gets it back to normal. 
Seems like theere's something about the Photo Rag coating that's left on 
the paper pick up mechanism that causes the problem.

You should be using the rear feeder for photorag

As many replies have already indicated... "Use the rear feed." With
all papers heavier than "typewriter," I use the rear feed AND keep 
the "print head height lever" at the "envelope" position.
