[Leica] Epson 3800 and Large Thick Paper Help

[gregj_lorenzo at hotmail.com (Greg Lorenzo)]

Tina,

 

Epson does not recommend this (damp paper pass through). What I did was to 
get some 99.593% isopropyl alcohol, wet a micro fiber cloth and hold the 
cloth lightly against the paper roller which pressing the printer advance 
button. This is similar to what I have to do to maintain my old Reel to Reel 
Tape Recorders and it worked like a charm.


Thanks.
