Mike, I've printed from QTR using the "Manual Roll (Rear)" setting with margins as narrow as 1/4" at the top. Regards Hassan ----------------------------------------

Hi Myron,
>>The single-sheet (manual) feeder makes all the requisite noises, and
at least some rollers move in various ways, but the paper is not
touched. I have tried all kinds of repositioning, and nothing helps.
It might work properly one out of twenty or thirty times.
To get the 1800 to load the single sheet feeder properly you have to push
the paper all the way in until it stops.
You have to preload the paper before printing.
Follow the Epson instructions carefully and it loads fine every time.
However even when you have done this and the paper loads correctly,
I am not convinced QTR can print on the paper loaded through the single
sheet feeder.
I can't get it to print properly on the 1900 and have had an email exchange
with Ray about this and tried a few fixes from him.
But no success so far.
But we would like to know if you can get it to work on 1800 or not. Please
try again.
Txs,
Mike
