Re: [QuadtoneRIP] EPSON 4900 Quadtone RIP High Sierra European version PRINTING

2018-01-10 by forums@walkerblackwell.com

On the Piezography forum is maybe was a little unclear that you were trying to print two times. There were many subjects that you were stating in the same thread and problem seemed to be that you were unable to print at all on the 4900 (unable to install even).

So, in responce to the Feed It Twice thing this is where you want to start. This may or may not work on your printer. I will validate this in the lab tomorrow.

Possible Fix:
Put printer in sheet mode.
Put a white letter sheet of paper in the printer.
Bend the top of the sheet of paper towards you and down so the top is touching the top of the printer.
Now pull the top of the paper towards you along the top of the printer about .5”. The bottom of the letter sheet of paper will no longer be on the printer’s input base.
Tape the top of the paper to the printer with some masking tape and keep the sheet in there.
Put your printed sheet of paper into the printer (in sheet mode) behind this letter sheet and queue the gloss print.
Hit the down arrow and the printer should load the paper and print.
There is still a sensor on the print-head itself that you need to get around. Either turn sheet size sensor off on the printer (you can do this from the printer menu) or make sure you have 4 inches of white space on the leading end of the sheet of paper. Tape a leader onto the sheet if need be.


All the best,
Walker
