Re: Wasting paper on a roll

2007-12-05 by jurajlipscher

Dear Roy

I have been printing with ABW/EPSON Driver for 2 years and I did not
have this problem. Recently I have installed K7 Piezo inks and QTR and
the problem started. Since the ink change I have used the same paper
size, the same print size and I did not use the EPSON driver at all.
And yes this happens every time.

I have not used the cutter off setting yet, this will be my next test.

Thanks again
Juraj
