See Walker’s post earlier in this thread. Personally I have not found it to be necessary, though I think I know what causes the problem. A slight upward curl in the film may cause it to bump into a piece (not sure what to call it) that holds some rollers (not the star wheels) rather than going beneath it. It’s easy to see if you lift the top cover. Guiding the film under it solves the problem. Maybe others have run into something else that is more complicated than this, but I haven’t. I’m attaching a couple of pictures but not sure if they will post here. The first shows the part in question (red arrow), and the second shows a sheet of paper properly loaded.

However, the front loader is designed to take thick media and some 3880 printers do not load the thin Pictorico all that well, and you might have to load it several times. I experienced that problem, and one day the Pictorico jammed under the head while printing and the actually literally destroyed the head. Since my work with inkjet printers is 100% with Pictorico I decided to replace the 3880 with a 7800, and I consider it one of the best decisions I ever made. >> >> Had I known how to remove the guide wheels I would have done that an avoided the front loader, and might still have a working 3880 instead of one that was destroyed. I did remove the guide wheels on an earlier Epson printer, the 2200, and it worked great without them in loading Pictorico. Bottom line, if I were used an Epson 3880 for printing on Pictorico I would definitely remove the guide wheels. >> >> >> >> Sandy >> > >
