Epson R800 sheet feeder error

Epson R800 sheet feeder error

2006-07-05 by gigaplanet

Hello,

My Stuff : R800 Epson with QTR release 2.4.2 on Mac OS X 10.4.6 and 10.4.7


I use a very thick paper , In order to be sure to load the paper
I preload it, pushing paper sheet feed R800 button

Then I choose the Sheet Feed in the QTR printer dialog
I click print

The printer start working, the head moves normaly 3..4 times then stops 
The printer grab the paper back (1 inch) and stard again to print the same pattern 3..4 times
then the paper feed button led start flashing (red) and printing process stops

The Epson utility says "communication error"

I Tried the same steps on the R800 with standard EPSON driver 
Everything work fine

I Tried the same steps (paper preload) with QTR driver on Epson R220
the printing process work fine too.

Anyone experienced this bug ?

Hi Emmanuel,

The Epson manual is very vague about preloading heavy paper.  Which slot are
you putting the paper into?  The sheet feeder?  or roll paper slot?   I assume you
are pushing the bottom next to the power button.

I just tried this on my R800 (same versions QTR & OSX) and it seemed to work fine.
When you use the Epson driver -- which driver and selections are you using?

Yes, Roy I preload the paper with the sheet feeder
Push the closest button to the power

I use the epson European driver version 2.33
I select Mat Archival, A4 paper size..
then print without problems (with or without paper preload)

I tried to find the US driver on epson website for OS X 10.4.7..there
is nothing (except for Intel Macs).
Wich version of Epson drivers are you using ?

Regards

Emmanuel

I'm not using the Epson driver at all.   I'm also on a PPC rather than 
an Intel-Mac.
I'll try to test it on a new mac.
