Re: Wasting paper on a roll

2007-12-04 by jurajlipscher

Hi Roy

I have done the test with paper size set to 17" but again to no avail.
I have also noticed that the printer is first pulling the paper back
in as it should and then it pushes it out again (as it shouldn't).

best regards & thanks
Juraj
