Re: 2100 Paper Size and Handling Issues

2005-05-05 by andrew

the 17.5mm was indeed NOT enough to stop the rollers losing grip.
Well, put it this way: the paper skewed sideways and messed up the
last few mm of the print. It happened on several prints in a row. And
yet normal printing from Photoshop on Windows 5 minutes' later was
totally fine. I don't begin to understand how the print driver might
affect the roller grip, but that's sure how it looked.

Do you have any idea why the custom paper sizes (A4 plus A4 centred,
etc.) might have gone?

I realise all this sounds a bit odd, but I'm no oddball and
technically proficient, just mildly perplexed.

thanks
