Re: paper settings with QTR for SC-P800

2016-11-14 by brian_downunda@...

I've got a related question regarding my 3880, but my issue is the opposite one. I print on Platine using the sheet feeder and QTR. There's no option to set the platen gap, so one has to assume it's using the "standard" setting. No head strikes. But if I use the sheet feeder and the Epson colour driver then I do get head strikes. I'm using the Canson recommended media setting of Premium Semi-Gloss and this sets the platen gap to "auto", whatever that means in this context, and the paper thickness to 3. I'd like to know what setting QTR is using by default, so that I can use that for colour printing. Any tips?

[I know that the rear feeder is supposed to trigger a wider gap for QTR, but it's not clear whether that has any effect when printing via the Epson driver and with a media type that contains paper config settings.]
